The BMW F 450 RR

Enter race mode

The authentic RR experience doesn’t only start on the race track. With its supersport design, the newly developed two-cylinder engine, 48 hp and a kerb weight of only 177 kg, the BMW F 450 RR brings racing DNA to your everyday life. It brings you to the starting line of the RR world and gives you the option to test your skills on every ride and keep challenging yourself.

Highlights for your race mode

With the riding modes Pro, you can tune the M Sport to suit your driving style in a targeted way. In the Race Pro mode, you can customise the configuration of the engine characteristics, Dynamic Traction Control and Anti block system. Three additional Sport screens provide information about traction control, brake force, lean angle, lap times and more on the 6.5-inch TFT display, which is included as standard. This means that you can not only keep an eye on what your bike is doing, you can also see the data you need to keep fine-tuning your technique and your setup.

Drive off and stop without the need to operate the clutch lever. The optional Easy Ride Clutch uses centrifugal force to take over the job of operating the clutch. In overrun mode, the clutch remains closed. This means that you can still rely on the engine braking effect you’re accustomed to. In conjunction with shift assistant Pro, there’s no need to use the clutch at all. This supports a dynamic driving style. Nevertheless, you stay in control at all times. You can use the clutch lever to intervene manually and take direct control of the motorcycle.

More than just a pretty face: together with the striking split-face front and the iconic daytime riding lights, the winglets further refine the BMW F 450 RR’s supersport aesthetic. The full trim panel, the slim, teardrop-shaped tank and the short rear carry this clear line forward. This means it’s immediately recognisable as a member of the RR family, adapted for the 450 class and designed to be your entryway into the world of RR.

Professional racing technology for your next trip with the Sport and M Sport variants. Shift assistant Pro allows for gear changes with virtually no interruption in traction force, and helps you keep a good rhythm when accelerating. It lets you change gears without having to operate the clutch. For an even sportier setup, the gearshift diagram can be reversed with minimal effort.

Precision starts with the right setup. The gold-coloured 43-mm upside-down fork guides the front wheel with 140 mm of spring travel. In the Sport and M Sport variants, you can adapt the rebound and compression stages to suit your own individual driving style. This means you can take an even more personalised setup to the streets, from everyday rides to ambitious adventures.

Adapt the brake and clutch levers to suit your grip width perfectly, allowing you to access both levers safely, and ensuring that you still have a good feel for your bike when braking, engaging the clutch or changing gears. The heated grips, which are included as standard, can be controlled using the multicontroller, and you can choose from three different heating levels. In colder weather, this keeps your hands nice and warm, without restricting your movement – for a precise grip and enhanced comfort on every ride.

Ready when you are. The newly developed two-cylinder in-line engine is torque-oriented and responds spontaneously to your throttle commands. 80 percent of the available torque can be utilised from as little as 3,000 rpm. Its 420 cm³ and 48 hp bring overrun mode straight to the streets. This results in performance characteristics you can control, bringing you further, ride after ride.

The compact underbelly muffler sits beneath the engine, keeping the short supersport silhouette of the BMW F 450 RR clean and clear. Compared with a conventional rear silencer, the design results in a weight saving of around 2 kg, reducing the bike’s total weight. At the same time, you can still hear the characteristic rhythm of the two-cylinder engine. A detail that combines design, lightweight construction and typical RR character.

[Performance]

Easy steering, powerful overrun, precise control: discover how the F 450 RR brings performance to the streets.

Your setup. Your race mode.

In the M Sport variant, the riding modes Pro with the Race Pro mode helps you match your setup to your driving style more closely. The throttle response, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Anti block system (ABS) can be configured individually. This means you decide how directly the BMW F 450 RR responds and how much intervention you want the assistance systems to perform – for enhanced control and a setup that adapts to your skills.

Performance meets levity

48 hp, only 177 kg – the BMW F 450 RR strikes the perfect balance between performance and weight for particularly agile handling. The engine takes on a load-bearing function in the frame. This allows for a compact, slim design, resulting in an additional weight reduction. The closed, hollow-cast rear swinging arm made of aluminium also reduces the weight, while also offering a high degree of rigidity. The results can be felt in every curve, thanks to the precise steering and the ability to quickly change lines.

Air/liquid-cooled two-cylinder in-line engine

The newly developed two-cylinder in-line engine gets straight to work with 48 hp and 420 ccm. Its maximum torque of 43 Nm is achieved at 6,750 rpm. Even at 3,000 rpm, you have 80 percent of it available. This is how the BMW F 450 RR initiates overrun early in a noticeable way and accelerates powerfully out of bends, without the need to constantly rev up the engine. The crankpin offset of 135 degrees mitigates unwanted vibrations and shapes the independent character of the engine.

RR genetics at first glance: discover the details that give the F 450 RR its supersport aesthetic.

A clear line: RR

Design language: supersport. That’s what the F 450 RR stands for with its offensive, aggressive flyline and iconic winglets. The central element in the design of the body is the full trim panel with its strikingly clear lines. The slim, teardrop-shaped tank and the short rear reinforce the concept: as little resistance as possible and as much performance as is feasible.

Everyday racing feeling

The face of race mode

The connection to the BMW S 1000 RR can be seen in the BMW F 450 RR's striking split-face front. The iconic daytime riding lights are the focal point. The full LED headlight separates the low-beam and high-beam headlights. Together with the winglets, this creates a focused front that translates the elements you know and love from the RR family to the 450 class.

Designed for performance, down to the last detail

Even the wheels show off the bike’s RR pedigree. The design of the lightweight cast aluminium wheels with hollow spokes is reminiscent of the BMW S 1000 RR and emphasises the supersport aesthetic. With the M Sport variant, the rim tapes carry the M colour scheme right down to the wheels and create an additional accent.

The sporty, low, cropped stub handlebars bring you close to the front wheel and support a sporty sitting position that’s also suitable for everyday use. The winglets and gills in the trim panel bring additional characteristic elements from the RR world to the BMW F 450 RR. This means its heritage can be seen clearly from all perspectives.

The dedication to premium features is evident when you take a closer look at many of the details. The side stand, gearshift and footbrake levers and the fork bridge are all made of forged aluminium. The pegs on the rear footrest, which are bolted to the frame, blend in seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of the bike. High-quality components, down to the last detail.

Loud and proud
