The bike gains a larger color TFT display and new handlebar switches, while the M 1000 RR's third-gen chassis walls are 30% thinner, saving about 1.3kg. Pre-orders open August 2026, with production starting May 2027.

Reading the spec sheet gets my heart rate up. Third-gen M 1000 RR chassis walls 30% thinner for about 1.3kg lighter — that's some serious engineering compared to the old model.
