The New BMW R nineT: Refined Roadster with Boutique Manufacturing Character


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The new R nineT: refined roadster with boutique manufacturing character. When BMW Motorrad launched the R nineT in 2013, it was clearly more than just a roadster based on a classic role model. From the outset, the R nineT combined classic motorcycle design and modern technology with sophisticated craftsmanship, as demonstrated by the aluminium fuel tank with brushed side surfaces, for example. In numerous components, the model also reflected the R nineT team's fond attention to detail. The new R nineT likewise radiates this boutique manufacturing character, supported by a range of optimised features.

The new BMW Heritage model features the potent, air/oil-cooled boxer engine with a capacity of 1170 cc and an output of 81 kW (110 hp) combined with a 6-speed gearbox. It is designed to meet the requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. Its exhaust system in stainless steel with the tailpipe positioned on the left reflects classic styling.

Modular frame concepts with individual scope for customising. Modular frame concepts provide great scope for altering the appearance and character of the BMW boxer model according to individual preference, for example by adding different seats from the range of BMW Motorrad accessories. The frame comprises four components as before: a front main frame, a rear main frame, a removable end piece and a detachable passenger frame.

From the streamlined gorgeous body with full LED lighting to the nicely sculptured emblems and multi-textured seating surfaces, it not only stands out from the crowd but also gives the rider the pride of ownership.


Comprehensive Lightweight Construction

AK 550’s every component is engineered with the aim to achieve maximum strength with minimum weight. Its lightweight aluminium frame provides the rigidity necessary for spirited riding. The selected lightweight radial tire combined with the hollow designed lowpressure die casting aluminium wheels further reduce the unsprang weight.


Strategic Center Of Gravity Placement

AK 550 has the lowest center of gravity in its class. All body components are engineered to give the vehicle a near 50/50 front to rear weight distribution for perfect balance. This strategic placement of the center of gravity provides the most solid foundation for AK 550 to pursue its ultimate handling capability.


Performance Oriented

Upside-down Fork Front Suspension
AK 550 features upside-down fork front suspension with dual disk Brembo caliper brakes. It keeps the vehicle agile and steady during cornering and delivers stunning stopping power whenever needed.

Horizontal Trailing Arm Rear Suspension

AK 550's three-stage reducer technology separates the weight of the engine from the transmission. It reduces the unsprang weight of the rear suspension and helps keep the wheel tightly attached to the ground at any time.

New Generation Bosch Anti-lock Braking System
AK 550 is equipped with Bosch 9.1 ABS which works with both front and rear braking systems for the shortest braking distance at the highest stability. It reacts extremely fast during emergency braking and is the lightest ABS on the market today.

Powerful 550cc Dual Cylinder Engine

Advanced Engine Technique


Cross Plan Crank Shaft System
The two pistons that move in the opposite direction in the cylinders effectively reduce engine vibrations and the pumping loss.

Dry Sump Lubrication System
The removal of the interference of the lubricant from the movement of the balance shaft decreases lubricant temperature and increases engine efficiency.

Automatic Centrifugal Wet Clutch System
The friction loss between mechanical parts is minimized and the power delivery efficiency from engine to wheel is maximized.

Distinctively Fascinating Sound
AK 550 produces fascinating acoustics that is crucial to the delivery of “The Thrills Of Touring”. The sound that roars from the twin cylinder engine through the carefully structured exhaust chamber is full of energy and passion that is simply distinctive and intoxicating.

Low Seat Height

Dual Power Modes
AK 550 has two power modes for the riders to enjoy every journey in different weather conditions. Other than the normal “Full Power” setting, the “Rain Mode” provides the rider with milder power output and softer throttle response that suit wet surfaces with low grip.

Key Less Ignition Control
