Performance and Ergonomics
Get a Boost
Anton Huber, Project Manager for the F 900 lineup, summed it up best: “With fully adjustable upside-down forks, lighter wheels, and a weight saving of 6.6 lbs. (3 kg), we’ve made the F 900 R and F 900 XR even more attractive.” Both models also meet the latest Euro 5+ emissions standards, ensuring sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of performance.

2025 BMW F 900 R?
