2027 BMW M 1000 RR gets a lighter, thinner-walled aluminum frame
BMW Motorrad has revealed early details of the frame for the third-generation M 1000 RR. The aluminum frame is 1.3 kg lighter than on the current version, which means better agility and quicker changes of direction. Every 2027 M 1000 RR will get it as standard.
The frame walls are 30% thinner, which also makes it a bit more flexible. At lean, the frame can flex laterally and help the suspension absorb road inputs. It stays stiff enough to handle braking and drive forces. BMW has not said how it cut the weight.
No date has been given for the full presentation. More may be shown at EICMA in Milan in early November.
- Current version — 205 hp, ShiftCam engine
- Current version US price — $35,395
