The engine of the new HP2 Sport is truly a masterpiece of engineering.
The raw numbers are enough to leave you in no doubt – this is a
power unit that is built with absolute performance in mind. It develops
133 horsepower (98 kW) at 8,750 rpm, and while its maximum torque
of 115 Nm is produced at 6,000 rpm, the boxer engine will rev all the
way up to 9,500 rpm. The HP2 Sport also features all-new cylinder
heads, with cam follower valve lifts attached to double overhead
Camshafts on each cylinder. There are four radial valves on each
cylinder, with valve plate diameters of 39 millimetres at the inflow
and 33 millimetres at the outflow. Other modifications such as
airflow-optimized intake and exhaust ports, new forged pistons
and redesigned connecting rods also contribute to the outstanding
performance. Two oil coolers, running in parallel one behind the
other, prevent the engine from overheating.
HP stands for High Performance. The HP2 Sport is a pure sportsbike,
and everything about it serves that end. Weight is reduced to an
absolute minimum, and radical design innovations abound. There
are a wealth of exclusive components, such as the adjustable Magura
master cylinders, adjustable milled foot pegs, and billet aluminium
top yokes, all designed and manufactured to the very highest quality
standards.
The bike also draws on BMW Motorrad’s extensive experience of
endurance racing. Everything from the gear shift assist to the carbon
fibre panels and 2D GP dashboard is designed solely with perform-
ance in mind. Riders will also love the Öhlins sport suspension, which
is adjustable for height and rebound/compression damping, and the
radially bolted Brembo monobloc brake system. BMW Motorrad ABS
is available as an option – for track use, this can be deactivated
The HP2 Sport represents the absolute pinnacle of boxer engine design. The BMW Motorrad designers have poured all their love of brilliant engineering and passion for detail into creating a thorough- bred sportsbike of the highest class.
As a genuine High Performance machine, there are no compromises in the HP2 Sport. Every detail right down to the last screw contributes to the handling and riding dynamics, so riders can push their abilities to the absolute limit. Thanks to components such as the carbon front fairing, self-supporting carbon tail section, and forged alloy wheels, the dry weight is an unbelievably light 178 kilograms. Combine this with the incredible engine and outstanding chassis, and you have a machine that is the sports rider’s dream.
