BMW Motorrad Reveals The New R20 Concept Motorcycle

BMW Motorrad has introduced its latest concept bike, the BMW R20, which will be showcased at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. With a 2000 cc air-oil-cooled Boxer engine, an upgrade from the original 1800 cc displacement in the R18, the performance figures of the engine are yet to be disclosed by the company.

BMW Launch Visually Appealing Concept Motorcycle

The BMW R20 concept boasts a visually appealing design reminiscent of a modern classic motorcycle. Its features include an aluminium tank painted in a shade called “hotter than pink”, along with polished and anodized aluminium components such as the cylinder head covers, belt cover, and air intake funnels. The single seat is upholstered in quilted black Alcantara and fine-grain leather, complemented by an integrated taillight that maintains the bike's sleek and compact rear design. Additionally, a modern LED headlight, housed in a 3D-printed aluminium ring with an integrated daytime running light, adds to the bike's aesthetic appeal.

Constructed with a black double-loop main frame made from chrome-molybdenum steel tubes, the motorcycle features a 17-inch spoke wheel in the front and a 17-inch black disc wheel at the rear, with tyre measurements of 200/55 and 120/70 respectively. The redesigned BMW Paralever system, inspired by the R18 models, includes a chrome-molybdenum steel swingarm and an aluminium Paralever strut, showcasing an exposed drive shaft.

The bike is equipped with fully adjustable Ohlins Blackline suspension at both the front and rear, while the braking system consists of disc brakes on both ends, featuring six pistons at the front and four at the rear.
