German accessory specialist SW-MOTECH says that the new BMW S 1000 XR " is the perfect motorcycle for those who want to ride a sporty bike without having to forego comfort and long-distance capability . Equipped with the same engine as the Double R , the remake of the XR offers the full range of options for sporty motorcycle riding ". " In the process of updating the XR BMW , engineers have dealt with some of the issues of the model ' s first iteration such as reducing the vibrations and toning down the exhaust to make the S 1000 XR more suitable for a longer trip while still combining the fun feel of sporty motorcycling . Thanks to its new ergonomics - a narrower handlebar and knee hold as well as significantly more pronounced front fender - the new four-cylinder still has plenty to offer ." And so does SW-MOTECH ! The company still offers an extensive range of accessories for the first S 1000 XR model line , but has now augmented those with additional premium accessories specifically designed for the new S 1000 XR platform from 2019 onwards . Luggage systems for the S 1000 XR include their lightweight and robust AERO ABS cases , each with 25 litres of storage , secured to the removable , black powder-coated steel PRO side carrier in one single step . For more storage , the URBAN ABS top case matches the look of the two side cases and secures to the tail with their robust ADVENTURE-RACK . To gain more storage space at the rear of the bike , SW-MOTECH TRAX ADV and ION aluminium top cases are described as " ideal for those who want to give this quite sporty bike a bit of an adventurous touch ". " The tail also allows for small and compact luggage solutions . For the new version of the S 1000 XR we have developed a matching SLC carrier that can hold URBAN ABS side cases or small SysBags 10 and 15 - made of durable ballistic nylon . For those who would like it even more compact and sporty , we have Blaze H saddlebags with up to 21 litres of volume per bag - the advantage being that if necessary , bag and carrier can be removed completely ". The PRO Engage tank bag with its PRO tank ring offers up to 10 litres of storage for valuables , gloves , a water bottle , spare battery , safety vest or snack - the new PRO tank ring with magnetic guide ensures easy and secure fixing to the tank . For protection of the four-cylinder engine and fairing components , a black crash bar , made of robust 27 mm thick steel , was built specifically for the S 1000 XR . For better visibility in bad weather , the SW- MOTECH EVO fog lights use the corresponding crash bar clamps . Frame sliders and axle sliders for the bike ' s front and rear can provide additional protection - abrasion-resistant , they are made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic and absorb the impact of a crash , protecting the fork leg and left side of the swingarm . EVO footrests offer secure footing and can be individually adapted to the ergonomic needs of the rider , and matching mirror extensions to the TRAVELLER RIDER seat add extra comfort .

Hydroform Short R for Diavel 1260
Combining the performance of a maxi-naked with the lines of an authentic muscle cruiser , the Ducati Diavel is an ideal platform for an exhaust manufacturer like HP Corse . It is hard to imagine anything being able to improve on the stock style , sound and performance of the 159 hp DVT 1262 Testastretta engine , but the Bologna based exhaust manufacturer brings over 20 years of material modelling and applied fluid dynamics R & D experience to the party , and the result is the stacked double short muffler of the Hydroform Short R with removable mesh and stylish sloping back-cut outlet - " the most evocative of HP Corse racing products , characterised by exquisitely clean lines and breathtaking curves ". The most incredible cut and weld-free shapes and variable diameters of the Short R can only be achieved by hydroforming , and the removable mesh allows the dB killer to be removed . The unapproved ( racing ) version , built specifically for the Diavel 1260 , is a semi-complete 2-into-2 system that keeps the original primary collectors and then continues with the double Hydroform Short R exhaust , available in both light satin steel finish and in a high temperature resistant black ceramic version . There is a dyno performance video available by following the links at the HP Corse website , and the company says that it has measured a + 4.26 hp power increase at 9,200 rpm and massive torque gains of more than + 7 ft lbs . at 5,300 rpm .
