BMW F 900 XR India launch: What to expect?

BMW Motorrad has confirmed that it will update its India portfolio with the launch of the new F 900 R naked roadster and the F 900 XR ADV sports tourer. Both motorcycles will be launched in India on 21 May 2020. Here we tell you what to expect from the upcoming new BMW F 900 XR.

BMW F900XR Headlamps

Design and Features

The new BMW F 900 XR will draw styling cues from the company’s litre-class ADV sports tourer, the S 1000 XR. Thus, the motorcycle will come equipped with a twin-pod headlight setup, semi-fairing design, adjustable windscreen, chiselled fuel tank and upright ergonomics. The feature list comprises of full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled 6.5-inch TFT instrument cluster.

Hardware

The motorcycle is built around a bridge-type frame that uses the engine as the stressed member. The road-biased character of the motorcycle is emphasised by its 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends. The shock absorption tasks are handled by 43mm upside-down forks at the front and a preload and rebound-adjustable mono-shock at the back. Braking department uses twin, 320mm discs with radially-mounted floating callipers at the front and a 265mm single disc with a single-piston floating calliper at the rear. The motorcycle tips the weighing scale at 219kg (kerb).

Engine

The F 900 XR shares its 895cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine with the F 900 R naked roadster. The engine on the ADV sports tourer is tuned to produce 104bhp of maximum power and 92Nm of peak torque. This motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox.

Electronics

The standard electronic safety net on the F 900 XR includes ABS, switchable traction control and two riding modes (Road and Rain). The optional Dynamic and Dynamic Pro riding modes bring rider aids like Dynamic Traction Control DTC, banking capable (cornering) ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and the new engine drag torque control (MSR).

Ergonomics

The middleweight ADV sports tourer is aimed for touring, and it comes with relaxed ergonomics. The upright riding position is achieved through a flat, single-piece handlebar.

Price

The BMW F 900 XR will compete against the likes of Ducati Multistrada 950 and the Tiger 900 GT range. We expect the motorcycle to arrive in the Rs 12 lakh-Rs 14 lakh price range.
