The mind-blowing 105 bhp HP2 Enduro, BMW Motorrad's
monster dirt bike, is not for the meek. With a race-ready suspension and a
lightweight body (386 lbs dry), this is the enduro bike that makes off-road
maniacs rejoice and competitors get out of the way. Twenty-five years of
rally racing experience have culminated in this edgy, breathtaking design.
Shred away. Or throw street tires on it and have the ultimate super moto
bike.
This
is what off-road Boxer fans have been waiting for: a genuine BMW motorcycle
enduro. Classical, uncompromising and well thought out, right down to the last
detail. With the powerful Boxer engine, consistently lightweight construction
and perfect ergonomic design, it meets all the requirements for the ultimate
off-road performance. The jewel in the crown is the chassis. The front has WAD ˛
upside down fork and the rear - for the first time in mass-produced motorcycle
construction - the BMW motorcycle air damping system.
Purist, but nevertheless stylish and
perfectly equipped with the finest, carefully considered
features, the BMW HP2 has everything it takes for unrestricted
riding pleasure off the beaten track and is perfect as the
“basic” machine for amateur enduro motorsport. More than any
other motorcycle, the HP2 capitalises in full on rough terrain
on the benefits of the Boxer concept with its low centre of
gravity. But at the same time the HP2, with its almost playful
handling, low weight, and high-performance power unit, offers
supreme riding pleasure also on the road. So considering the
many options it offers the rider, the HP2 is the most powerful
and by far the best offroad Boxer of all times.
This brand-new model from BMW Motorrad
was developed by a small but highly dedicated team of specialists, engineers
and mechanics fully committed to the Boxer and also dedicated in their
private lives to offroad motorsport, working beyond the usual processes of
series development under the simple and straightforward motto that “only an
enthusiastic professional can offer another enthusiastic professional what
he really wants”.
In technical terms the BMW HP2 is based on
the R 1200 GS. But tailored in every respect to the needs and preferences of the
ambitious enduro rider, the HP2 is a completely independent, truly exceptional
motorcycle.
The all-new lightweight suspension is
based on ample experience gained by BMW in marathon rallies, with an
air/spring/damper system on the rear wheel proudly entering the world of
motorcycling as a world-first achievement. The engine itself has been
optimised for minimum weight and the entire drivetrain laid out
specifically for offroad use.
Consistent lightweight engineering was
indeed the name of the game with all the components of the new HP2. As a
result, overall weight of the motorcycle in road trim remains below the
200-kilo “sound barrier”, with kerb weight according to the DIN standard of
195 kg or 430 lb. Dry weight, in turn, is a mere 175 kilos or 386 lb.
In conjunction with the new machine’s perfect
ergonomics, this guarantees supreme agility and easy control even on the
toughest terrain. And combined with the low centre of gravity of the Boxer
engine, unparalleled smoothness and powerful acceleration from the lowest engine
speeds, as well as the motorcycle’s excellent balance, the HP2 is in many cases
superior to even the toughest single-cylinder competitors on difficult, slow
trial tracks. The superior performance and riding stability of an enduro Boxer
on fast sections of offroad terrain, in turn, are obviously beyond the slightest
doubt.
To highlight the sporting enduro
qualities of the new HP2, BMW Motorrad supports and manages a private racing
team which will be entering the HP2 in various offroad events such as the
German Cross Country Championship (GCC). And the rider starring in BMW
Motorrad’s team for the GCC will be last year’s winner of precisely this
series, Finnish motorcycle crack Simo Kirssi. Outside of Germany, the HP2
will be entering both the Baja 500 and the Baja 1000 in California, and
there are plans to participate in the prologue of the Erzberg Race in
Austria. BMW Motorrad is supporting private teams in these cases with the
right kind of service, and naturally provides the motorcycles themselves.
A new brand name and a new model designation: “HP“ is
short for “High Performance“ and the “2” in the model designation
characterising this sports enduro stands for the flat-twin power unit. The
term “high performance” obviously relates to the machine’s sporting
performance under all conditions, the outstanding superiority of the entire
motorcycle and not just the extra power from the engine. So “high
performance” means a perfect balance of all individual components with a
view to one complete whole representing much more in practice than the sum
of all the motorcycle’s individual factors. This is the synonym for a
perfectly developed overall concept offering perfection to the last detail,
superior riding characteristics as well as pure, un-daunted riding pleasure.
And it goes without saying that “HP” stands for the prestige naturally
coming with such a particularly sophisticated and refined motorcycle.
The HP2 is the first model in a new,
independent category of motorcycles being developed by BMW Motorrad. The
focus in all cases is on BMW’s Boxer models, HP motorcycles using the
technical foundation of series models but standing out clearly through their
uncompromising dedication to a specific purpose, their clear and consistent
orientation to sporting performance, and the most exclusive product
features.
These very special motorcycles are developed
by small teams of truly passionate professionals working beyond the usual
structures required for a larger production series. Such special team concepts
with the very efficient processes ensured in this way guarantees that the many
years of experience offered by the development engineers, their feeling for
the essential, their personal know-how, and their individual “touch” go straight
into the product, without any “filters” or barriers in between. And at the same
time these engineers use the most advanced development and simulation tools plus
all the technical options offered by BMW as a large company. It is indeed this
symbiosis of high technology and craftsmanship which gives BMW Motorrad’s HP
motorcycles their unique charm and appeal.
In a nutshell, therefore, BMW
high-performance motorcycles are something very special – they are exclusive
and authentic, and they will remain relatively rare in the market. The
prices of these special machines, in turn, result from their outstanding
range of features, the much higher level of product substance, and the
comparatively small production volume.
Exclusive training offers and fascinating
offroad tours are being prepared specifically for customers purchasing the
HP2, that is enthusiasts with particular riding skills and demands. These
additional offers will therefore supplement the new high-performance concept
step-by-step in the course of time.
