Bmw S 1000 Hp4

BMW Motorrad's engineering team finally pulled back the curtain on what truly separates the HP4 from its S1000RR platform sibling. Although both machines share a 999 cc inline-four base, BMW designers focused HP4 development around four core pillars: engine calibration, electronics, chassis innovations, and lightweight materials. Here's a deep dive into the engineer.

The top-shelf suspension offers impressive feel and support, without being teeth-chattering stiff. The heart of the BMW HP4 Race is a highly modified S 1000 RR engine, which is claimed to produce 215 horsepower. The top-end power is intense, but the power delivery is smooth enough to handle over race distance.

The standard BMW HP4 is powered by a 999cc four-stroke, four-cylinder engine borrowed from the 188-mph-capable BMW S 1000 RR, which produces a whopping 193 hp at 13,000 rpm and 82.6 lb. What does BMW HP4 stand for? After the boxer models HP2 Enduro, HP2 Megamoto and HP2 Sport, the BMW HP4 is the first 4-cylinder motorcycle in the HP family. The HP label stands for high performance, and the HP4 once again embodies outstanding handling, power and riding dynamics.

When BMW Motorrad first released the HP4 as a more premium version of the successful S 1000 RR, the company pushed the limits of motorcycle engineering by producing the world's lightest liter. With the BMW HP4, BMW Motorrad presents the lightest 4-cylinder supersports bike in the 1000cc class to date. Based on the BMW S 1000 RR - or RR for short - the new sports motorcycle has an output of 142 kW (193 hp) and weighs just 199 kilos including Race ABS and with a 90% full fuel tank (169 kg dry weight with Race ABS).

Based on the BMW S 1000 RR, the new HP4 has an output of 193 hp (142kW) and has a dry weight of 373 lbs (169 kg) including Race ABS. Race ready with a 90% full fuel tank just 439 lbs (199 kg). With the BMW HP4, BMW Motorrad presents the lightest 4.
