SW-MOTECH accessories for the new BMW models F 900 R and F 900 XR

With their two new twin models, BMW delivers a convincing answer when it comes to the mid-range segment: the sporty F 900 R is a solid Naked Bike intended for quick rides in the evening for a reasonable price, and the F 900 XR with longer spring deflections and a wider handlebar ensures a relaxed riding position even during extensive tours. Both bikes impress with the new series-two-cylinder which now boasts 105 horsepower, a full-bodied sound and significantly more pressure than the predecessor model F 800 R.

SW-MOTECH has equipped the Naked Bike and the Sporttourer with suitable accessories ranging from luggage, protection, safety and ergonomics - for relaxed and safe riding during the new 2020 motorcycle season.

Secure and convenient luggage storage

For the new 900-model series, BMW installed a lightweight tank made of welded plastic that makes it possible to easily mount the three ION series tank bags as well as numerous models from the EVO series with the help of the bike-specific tank ring. A suitable tank ring has also been developed for PRO tank bags which will be available as of May. This lets you easily and safely transport up to 20 liters of luggage between the rider and cockpit and, thanks to the patented QUICK-LOCK, allows for easy removal of luggage during refueling.

The tail offers a wide selection of case and bag systems: The developers of SW-MOTECH have adjusted both the removable PRO side carrier and the small, robust SLC carriers to fit the R and XR models. This means that for longer tours with the F 900 XR, the expedition-proven TRAX ADV and ION aluminum cases can be mounted onto the PRO side carrier with a capacity of 45 liters on each side. Alternatively, you can also use the soft saddlebags from the SysBag series, each with 15 or 30 liter capacity, or the AERO ABS plastic cases with 2 x 25 liters of storage.

For sporty motorcyclists who ride the new F 900 R, SW-MOTECH recommends the compact URBAN ABS side cases, which can be clicked into place on the SLC carrier in one easy step. Those who prefer an even quicker pace can mount the two unobtrusive, removable BLAZE saddlebag support arms and the two matching bags with up to 42 liter capacity - everything can be removed quickly if one wants to ride without luggage.

Located behind the rider and passenger, the STREET-RACK offers space for TRAX ADV and ION series aluminum top cases as well as the URBAN ABS plastic top case.

More protection and safety - crash bar, frame sliders and centerstand

The different fairing designs on both motorcycles in the series required the construction of bike-specific crash bars tailor-made for the F 900 R and the F 900 XR. In case of accidents or if the bike falls over, they can prevent damage to essential components. The sporty F 900 R also allows the mounting of unobtrusive frame sliders that offer protection during crashes and match the look of the Naked Bikes. The robust centerstand ensures a stable position during maintenance or stops with heavy luggage. When making a short stop, the extension for side stand foot facilitates the safe parking of both F 900 models even on loose ground.

Although both bikes are called F 900, the X in the name makes a big difference, especially when it comes to the seating position and the quality of motorcycle riding. Thus, SW-MOTECH offers a suitable and stepless adjustable gear lever for both motorcycles. This means you can choose the desired switching position. Even more variations are possible with the EVO footrests made of corrosion resistant stainless steel casting, which can be used to replace the factory mounted components of both bikes. And those who feel that the airflow while riding the wiry F 900 R at high speeds becomes unpleasant can mount the windscreen, made of brushed aluminum, in front of the cockpit.

All essential accessory products from SW-MOTECH for the F 900 R and F 900 XR will be available in stores at the end of May.
