BMW Motorrad has kicked off 2025 with a bang, officially launching the updated S 1000 RR in India. The bike debuted on January 18 at the Bharat Mobility Expo, and with bookings already underway, it’s set to make its presence felt on both track and tarmac.
Unlike just another spec update, this one carries weight. The 2025 S 1000 RR retains its menacing looks and track-tuned character but sharpens the package with improved aerodynamics, revised electronics, and a stronger focus on rider feel. It continues to be imported as a CBU (Completely Built-Up unit) and comes in three variants: Standard, Pro, and Pro M Sport.
2025 BMW S 1000 RR: Key Highlights
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting Price (ex-showroom) | ₹21.10 lakh (Standard), ₹23.45 lakh (Pro), ₹25.60 lakh (Pro M Sport) |
| Engine | 999cc inline-4 with ShiftCam technology |
| Max Power | 210 hp @ 13,750 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 113 Nm @ 11,000 rpm |
| 0-100 km/h | 3.21 seconds |
| Top Speed | 303 km/h |
| Kerb Weight | 197 kg (193.5 kg with M Package) |
| Suspension | Fully adjustable USD forks and swingarm setup |
| Electronics | Riding modes, ABS Pro, DTC, quickshifter |
| Aerodynamics | Larger winglets, revised fairing, high windscreen |
What sets the new model apart visually are the updated winglets, now capable of generating up to 23.1 kg of downforce at high speed. That means better front-end grip on track days and added stability on quick highway stints.
Under the skin, the core remains aggressive. The 999cc engine punches out 210 horses, and thanks to BMW’s ShiftCam tech, you get a broad spread of torque without sacrificing top-end madness. Riders will also appreciate the reduced throttle rotation, now 58 degrees, for a more relaxed wrist during extended sessions.

Inside the cockpit, a vibrant 6.5-inch TFT dash displays all the riding data you’d want, flanked by Race Pro modes and Bluetooth-enabled features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Variants and Who It’s For
- Standard: Aimed at street riders who want track pedigree without all the extras
- Pro: Adds features like cruise control and heated grips for a balanced ride
- Pro M Sport: Built for serious riders and track enthusiasts with M Carbon wheels, GPS lap timer, and unique paint
In the litre-class superbike arena, the 2025 BMW S 1000 RR competes closely with rivals like the Ducati Panigale V4 and Kawasaki ZX-10R. But BMW’s focus on user-friendly aggression, advanced electronics, and a premium experience makes it a compelling pick if you’ve got the wallet for it.
Deliveries for all variants have already begun across select dealerships.
Verdict? BMW isn’t just selling a bike. They’re handing over a missile dressed in carbon and precision.
