2026 BMW M 1000 XR Aurelius Green Metallic

THE BMW M 1000 XR

BORN TO LEAD

This is it: the lightest and most powerful production crossover bike in the world. Nothing less. An M bike through and through. Trimmed down for maximum performance – in this case, long-distance performance. That's why it's called the M XR. Or, as we like to call it: MaXimizeR. Because this bike maximizes everything: your riding experience, your endurance and, whenever you want, your adrenaline. Alternatively, you can confidently relax while traveling great distances. After all, you know you can leave almost everyone behind on a whim. #NeverStopChallenging

MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT

• The perfect start: the M start-up animation — When your M XR starts up, you are immersed in the full M Experience. The TFT display switches on with the unmistakable M start-up animation and shows itself ready for your personal challenges.
• Carbon parts: lighter = more power — With the carbon parts of the M Competition package, the M XR is over 6 lbs lighter. These include M Carbon wheels, M Carbon mudguard, M Carbon side sections and M Carbon cockpit interior trim.
• Designed for performance right down to the rear — The motorsport genes of the M XR are in every detail: from the M milled parts, such as the M clutch and brake lever, to the slim rear section with steep titanium rear silencer and short license plate carrier.
• Powerful and direct: the Engine — The M XR has everything you need for speed. The beating heart is its extremely powerful and high-revving ShiftCam engine with 201 hp and a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm.
• Getting performance under control: the M brake — The M brake offers our maximum performance and resistance point and fading stability as well as excellent dosing. Externally, it is recognizable by the blue eloxal coating and M logo.
• Controlled force: with M winglets — The M winglets tame the brute power of the M XR. They generate downforce at high speeds providing greater riding stability, a lower tendency to lift the front wheel, and a smoother ride.
• Fast forward: the ultra-sporty front — The front has an "all-black" finish, including the milled, black, upper fork bridge and legs. The M colors create an unmistakable visual asymmetry and emphasize the bike's performance-oriented character.
• An upgrade for the handling: M Carbon wheels — The optional M Carbon wheels with sports tires take the handling of your M XR to an unimaginable level by reducing rotational mass. This way you get full power on the road from first gear.

Born on the Racetrack

You sense it immediately. The M XR bears that M DNA. It embodies everything that the most powerful letter in the world stands for: leadership, supremacy and playful, effortless dominance. The letter "M" promises top-notch machining with outstanding materials and equipment. Riding an M bike requires excellent riding skills. M combines the passion of motorsport with a lifestyle in the fast lane. The third M model completes our four-cylinder range.

Maximum exclusivity

Not only visually an M. The M XR is comprehensively equipped with M parts. Right from the start with a glance at the display, the M start-up animation brings you into the M sports world. While the M Sport seat allows you to ride with less fatigue, the M winglets provide increased contact pressure on the road through aerodynamic downforce. And the M brake also makes performance precisely controllable.

M + XR = long-distance performance

The equation for an incomparable riding experience of M-like performance and XR-like long-distance capability. You won't want to get off the bike thanks to its sublime ergonomics or the available Pro and RACE riding modes. It's all there, and not just in terms of equipment. The M XR is highly versatile with its sport, touring and passenger suitability. Its weight can be minimized even further with the optional M Competition package, so that you are on the road with maximum dynamism.

Brute force in your hands

Climb on and you are constantly reminded: the M XR can move you at over 170 mph. From 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds; to 124 mph in 7.4. This is made possible by the BMW ShiftCam four-cylinder engine of the RR, adapted for the XR, with 201 hp at a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm. In conjunction with the sports gearbox with shorter ratios in 4th, 5th and 6th gear, as well as a shorter secondary ratio, the M XR is designed for performance-oriented long-distance journeys. This helps you take the lead whenever you feel like it.

THE AURA OF A CHAMPION. Unmistakable M

Performance has three colors: light blue, dark blue and red. The characteristic M color scheme gives the M XR its unmistakeable look. In the rare moments it is at a standstill, you can see the love of motorsport – not only in the colors, but in many details.

• Light White/M Motorsport — The standard bike in the color Light White solid paint with M graphics focuses on stark contrasts. The M XR is also recognizable as an M bike by the standard M brake in blue.
• Blackstorm Metallic/M Motorsport — With the optional M Competition package, it comes in a more powerful Blackstorm Metallic color with M graphics – an impression that the M carbon wheels enhances further.

The measure of all things

Perfection is the sum of all details. No millimeter has been left to chance. With elaborate M paint and exclusive parts, like the milled M clutch lever and M brake lever, the design sets sporty standards. The shorter, tinted sports windscreen* also demonstrates that this bike originates from the M Motorsport mold.

Leadership par excellence

Ready? Take a seat, start the engine and dive into the M world. Behind you is the slim, performance-oriented rear with short license plate carrier. It's from this point you leave everything behind. You lead. You hear the incomparable sound that comes from the steep Akrapovic slip-on rear silencer. Your passenger also has the full M experience thanks to the passenger seat contour, slim grab handles and rear footrest bracket.

There's more to come

You love a challenge: the optionally available M Competition package is made for you. The M Carbon wheels and numerous M Carbon parts included in the package not only give the bike an ultra-sporty look, they reduce the weight to just 485 lbs, thus maximizing dynamics and handling. With the M GPS-Laptrigger, you can focus on your fastest times.
