BMW Motorrad has transformed its 2025 F 900 R and F 900 XR motorcycles with tremendous advancements in terms of weight loss, suspension settings, and aerodynamics. However, the machines still feature their strong 895 cc parallel-twin engine while bringing substantial updates particularly attuned to improving rider experience and safety.
Lighter, Sleeker, and More Agile
Engineers also concentrated on saving weight, taking 3 kilograms off each motorcycle. In part, they did this by fitting 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, which came with a -1.8 kg saving alone. Another new lightweight battery shed 0.8 kg. The F 900 R thus weighs in at a mere 208 kg, the F 900 XR 216 kg.This makes it easier to handle, allowing the riders to experience more agility and responsiveness. This way, both models are ideal for city commuting as well as long-distance tours.
Enhanced Suspension for Personalized Comfort
The introduction of upside-down telescopic forks with adjustment to enhance the flexibility in the suspension system also brings more comfort for every rider. The rider could easily fine-tune rebound, compression damping, and spring preload to suit one’s preferences or road conditions.Additionally, BMW delivers engine drag torque control to improve stability in harsh downshifts. This function further increases resistance to wheel spin and skidding, hence providing consistent control across different terrains.
BMW stuck with the strong 895cc parallel-twin motor, good for 105 bhp and 93 Nm of torque. The six-speed box ensures smooth power delivery as well as fine-tuned ‘Dynamic’ riding mode helping strengthen traction control for better grip on the road.For the safeminded riders, ABS Pro has been added as standard while providing cornering-sensitive braking which can increase confidence once aggressive cornering happens or unexpected stops.

Ergonomics Improved for Long-Haul Comfort
BMW has reimagined the riding posture for both those models. The F 900 R version boasts repositioned footrests and little-forward handlebars for a sportier, yet comfortable posture. The F 900 XR adds the same ergonomic tweaks and includes additional aerodynamics.
Airflow has been improved and the dragging and stability at high speeds is enhanced by the new redesigned front fairing and wind deflector. Standard handguards, including BMW’s Headlight Pro with adaptive headlights, round out the premium upgrades on the XR.
Smooth Integration of Technology
Both motorcycles now have two standard riding modes: Road and Rain. These modes offer the optimal performance for different kinds of weather. For further personalisation, the Ride Modes Pro package introduces Dynamic, fine-tuning throttle response and electronic aids.
The features of convenience were also added by BMW. These include heated grips, a USB-C charging port with 2.4 A output, and much more. They add functionality and help long-distance riders in a major way.

Optional Accessories Raise the Bar
For the enthusiasts, there are some optional accessories, like an Akrapovic exhaust system, available from BMW. This reduces an additional 1.2 kg while it hurls in a sharper exhaust note.
Conclusion: Perfect Form and Function BMW Motorrad, with the 2025 F 900 R and F 900 XR, continues to underline perfect harmony between power, precision, and comfort. The advancement brings with it new products from BMW in line with innovation; both motorcycles now better fulfill the expectations of a modern-day rider while retaining BMW’s respect for their engineering excellence.
