2019 BMW S1000RR New Powertrain Boost Its Performance and Control Significantly
BMW has announced their new product that will be on the market next year. It’s called 2019 bmw s1000rr. The design is undeniably beautiful. However, what interests us most is the powertrain. BMW did a lot of changes in this superbike. The Motorrad engineers have taken this series up to the next level with its 999cc inline-four engine. Now, let’s we take a look at what is inside.
The ShiftCam Technology
Jörg Vogt, the powertrain project manager said that his team has made some changes on the RR engine. Moreover, that was one of the hard challenges for their team. They have to create a higher peak output and higher torque. It seems possible, but with the lower and medium engine speed range, it’s practically impossible. However, BMW ShiftCam Technology solves this problem.BMW ShiftCam Technology is the unique system that can control how the eight intake valves work. On S1000RR, this system can increase the engine torque dramatically. Moreover, it also reduces the noise that is produced by the movement of the valve. The result is the calmer engine with better performance and output.
The Control
The higher output and torque in S1000RR is controlled by the six-speed transmission. Motorrad also adds the chain final drive that makes it more stable. And, to optimize the gear changes movement, they also use unique slipper clutch design. The new clutch design in S1000RR creates the better slip-wheel effect. they can create this unique effect by combining the electronic quickshifter technology with the auto-blip system.Riding Modes
You also can find the main features that on S1000RR, which are the global riding modes. There are four of them, which are Rain, Road, Dynamic, and Race mode. Each of those modes has a different setting, which will affect the power, ABS and other settings. This is also another best feature of S1000RR.
On this new series, you also can’t find the Slick mode that you can find on the previous series. BMW removed this mode and add the Race Pro setting, which, in our opinion, is much more reliable. This new mode can help you to adjust many aspects, such as engine-brake, wheelspin control and more. Basically, you can adapt to many different conditions on the track.
With those many features, we can expect that 2019 bmw s1000rr will be a great product. Maybe, this is one of the best creations from BMW in the last decade, in the motorbike department. Now, we just need to see it on the market.
