The BMW F 900 XR demonstrates easy mastery of the Adventure Sport segment’s key qualities: sporty riding dynamics combined with upright, GS‑like ergonomics, outstanding long-distance and passenger suitability and a design that conveys a powerful sense of character. However, the F 900 XR also bears the design and concept legacy of the XR family with a mix of sportiness and touring capability. In addition, the F 900 XR benefits from the technology transfer from the upper class, ranging from Adaptive Cornering Light to Keyless Ride, all unique features in the mid-range.
The BMW F 900 XR, equipped with water-cooled 4-stroke in-line two-cylinder engine, delivers power of 73 kW (99 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 88 Nm torque at 6,750 rpm with a maximum speed of more than 200 km/h. The engine has a capacity of 895 cc with an ignition distance of 270/450 degrees and a new underfloor silencer system, which offers a particularly emotional sound. In addition to the standard anti-hopping clutch, the F 900 XR is fitted with engine drag torque control (MSR) for the first time. It prevents the rear wheel from slipping as a result of abrupt throttling or downshifting, thereby ensuring even greater safety. The model has fuel consumption of 4.2 litres per 100 km and supports regular fuel with octane number 91.
The F 900 XR offers the “Rain” and “Road” riding modes as standard, as well as “Riding Modes Pro” featuring “Dynamic” and “Dynamic Pro,” allowing riders to experience the sporty characteristics of the F 900 XR even more intensively. ABS Pro enables precise handling in every riding situation. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), along with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), Tyre Pressure Control (RDC) are also available. Cruise Control allows riders to keep their vehicle at a constant speed. Moreover, the Gear Shift Assistant Pro allows shifting up and down in almost all load ranges and engine speed ranges without clutch control. Heated handlebar grips also prevent hand numbness and fatigue that is common when riding in cold weather.
The light, plastic-welded fuel tank with a capacity of 15.5 litres in the F 900 XR is a world first in motorcycle construction. The bolt-on steel rear frame has also been newly developed for the F 900 XR in order to create a visually short and slim rear. Additionally, the F 900 XR – with its somewhat longer spring travel – offers a noticeable increase in comfort and therefore an even wider range of potential rides in touring style.
Even greater safety is offered by the Adaptive Cornering Light as a component of Headlight Pro, which is unique in the mid-range. Here, the rider benefits from improved illumination of the road when cornering for even safer riding at night. All lighting units in the new F models are based on LED technology as standard. The F 900 XR offers an impressively active yet relaxed riding position for touring capability and long-distance performance. The front fairing including an adjustable windshield combines a sporty look with sound rider protection.
The M Endurance chain is available as standard in this model. Thanks to excellent dry lubrication properties and the elimination of wear, the M Endurance chain offers maintenance comfort equivalent to that of a shaft drive motorcycle. This includes all the cleaning work that is unavoidable with a conventional chain due to splashed lubricant. Consequently, the M Endurance chain is as durable as possible.
The BMW F 900 XR is also equipped with perfectly readable colour 6.5-inch TFT screen with BMW Motorrad Connectivity as standard. The feature offers the ability for riders to conveniently talk on the phone, listen to music or navigate while riding. The model is now available in Racing Blue Metallic colour.
