2020 BMW F 900 XR


Alongside the announcement of the new F 900 R for 2020, BMW Motorrad have also unveiled the F 900 XR as an ‘adventure-sport’ option but at first glance it looks more sports-tourer, but with an upright adventure style riding position.

In comparison to the S 1000 XR, the F 900 XR has 60 less horsepower, 22 Nm less torque, and weighs in 9 kg lighter.  The F 900 XR also boasts a lower seat height, as well as a smaller fuel tank and does without the fork adjustability of the S 1000 XR. The F 900 XR you would expect will make for a more accessible entry-point for riders at what will hopefully be a considerable cost saving compared to its fire-breathing litre class sibling.

The F 900 range introduces a new 895cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin. Its roots are from the F 850 but the F900 machine gain a capacity boost due to a 2mm bore increase to 86mm, while running the same 77 mm stroke.

Peak power is now 77 kW (105 hp), with 92 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. BMW claim that a strong 87 Nm of grunt is available from as low as 4500 rpm.

As with the S 1000 XR, the F 900 XR offers a mix of sport and touring capability, now in a mid-range package, with styling designed to pay homage to the S 1000 XR but with a lower seat height.

A steel-bridge frame is utilised alongside a bolt-on rear steel frame designed specifically for the F 900 models. A lightweight welded-plastic fuel cell has a capacity of 15.5 litres on the XR, in comparison to the new F 900 R’s 13L capacity.
