The motorcycle received a range of cosmetic tweaks with this update
With the update, the BMW S1000 RR gets a revised design, sporting a redesigned fairing with integrated brake ducts to improve brake cooling.

The motorcycle also gets Pro riding modes as standard now, which include ‘Race Pro’ modes. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is also a new standard feature. In the foreign market, the motorcycle is offered in three colour options- Blackstorm metallic, Bluestone metallic with matte graphics, and the Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport colour scheme.
The motorcycle is powered by the same engine as before
The motorcycle continues to be powered by a 999 cc, inline-four engine that produces 206 bhp and 113 Nm, and comes paired with a six-speed gearbox.
