KUALA LUMPUR: The new BMW M 1000 RR Competition is engineered to deliver dominance on both road and racetrack.
The retail price (on the road, with BMW Motorrad Malaysia's three-year warranty and three-year roadside assistance programmes, without insurance) for the M 1000 RR Competition is RM299,500.
Setting a new benchmark for road-legal superbikes, it features a newly sculpted front fairing and revised windscreen that enhance aerodynamic efficiency.
The updated carbon fibre M Winglets 3.0 generate up to 30kg of downforce at 300kph - delivering greater cornering stability and reducing front wheel lift, without compromising its top speed of 314kph.
In pursuit of a more race-focused setup, the M Aero Wheel Covers have been removed, while key body components such as the fairing, front wheel cover, and engine spoiler are now made from high-strength plastic, offering reduced weight with increased durability.
At its core lies a 999cc inline four-cylinder engine, delivering 160kW (218hp) at 14,500rpm - an increase of 4kW (6hp) from its predecessor, and 113Nm of torque at 11,000rpm.
It can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in just 3.1 seconds.
The renowned Flex Frame has been re-engineered for improved chassis dynamics, with increased stiffness in the steering head area and a relocated left-side engine mount.
Complementing this is the M short-stroke throttle, which now features a 58-degree rotation angle – reduced from 72-degrees - for quicker and more controlled throttle input, particularly beneficial in competitive riding scenarios.
Riders can tailor the performance through a suite of riding modes, with Riding Modes Pro now equipped as standard.
This includes the base modes - Rain, Road, Dynamic, and Race - each with its own Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) profile for optimal grip and stability.
Additionally, three highly customisable Race Pro modes including - Race Pro 1, Race Pro 2, and Race Pro 3 - allow riders to fine-tune key parameters such as throttle response, engine braking, traction control, and wheelie control.
Within these Race Pro settings, the DTC Wheelie Function is also adjustable, enabling precise regulation of front wheel lift for maximum acceleration during hard launches or aggressive corner exits.
Track-focused riders will experience the introduction of Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with newly integrated Slide Control, made possible by steering angle sensor technology.
This system enables precise regulation of rear-wheel slip during acceleration drifts, allowing the rider to confidently manage power slides out of corners.
Similarly, the BMW Race ABS Pro now incorporates Brake Slide Assist, which assists in controlled rear-wheel drifts under braking by modulating brake pressure and engine drag torque based on the steering angle sensor input.
The inclusion of the ABS Pro “Slick” mode makes the new M 1000 RR Competition fully compatible with slick tyres for race use.
BMW Group Malaysia managing director Benjamin Nagel said, "Since the year began, BMW Motorrad Malaysia has been in full throttle, making 2025 a truly exhilarating time for motorcycle enthusiasts across the country. From Sports and Adventure machines to Tour and Heritage bikes, we have worked to introduce a diverse range of models that ignite the passion of every kind of rider."
He added, “The new 1000 RR Competition is a true statement of intent, representing the pinnacle of BMW Motorrad’s engineering, racing heritage, and bold vision for the future. For riders in Malaysia seeking the ultimate in power, agility, and presence, the New BMW M 1000 RR Competition is the definitive answer to the ethos of ‘Make Life A Ride’.”
Offered in a single striking variant, the new M 1000 RR Competition is available in the extensively equipped M Competition model, which is finished in Blackstorm metallic with iconic M accents.
This includes the M Carbon Package, which has high-grade carbon components in matte finishing such as the front and rear wheel covers, pinion cover with integrated chain guard, tank cover, airbox cover, and a carbon passenger seat cover.
The M Billet Pack adds CNC-milled aluminium parts including the brake and clutch levers, new rider footrests, and a brake lever guard.
Other premium features include the M Endurance Chain for reduced maintenance and optimal power delivery, M Carbon Wheels for enhanced agility and weight savings, and the M GPS-Laptrigger, complete with activation code for precise lap timing via an external logger.
Completing the package are an anodised rear wheel swingarm, a tinted windscreen and black fuel tank.
