MCN disclosed BMW’s plans to unleash a Scrambler version of the big-selling R nineT 2 months agone, and {this thought|this idea} Path twenty two is clearly way more than simply another concept bike; it seems to use real production components that may be seen on the finished bike.
The fuel tank could be a cheaper ironed steel version that may be used on the Scrambler rather than the expensively handsewn Al tank used on the R nineT roadster, the fork could be a lower-specification than the S1000RR superbike-derived set-up used on the nineT, whereas the fork fitted here boasts Öhlins internals that ar unlikely to feature on the assembly Scrambler. Hanging off the fork legs ar the mid-spec Brembo calipers we have a tendency to expect to create it to production, absorbing discs fitted to mag-style wheels that additionally match the fashion seen on leaked BMW sketches of the assembly bike. Even the front light-weight seems to be the finished unit. BMW are clever with the method they need managed to cut back the value of the high-end components used on the R nineT to create the Scrambler model more cost-effective.
Head of BMW Motorrad style King of England Heinrich said: “A scrambler is that the excellent match for Wheels & Waves. It’s the epitome of a bike on the far side established standards and conventions. Performance specifications don't seem to be such a lot of interest - vogue and originality all the additional therefore. Scramblers categorical passion and ar as varied as their house owners. The thought Path twenty two is our own interpretation supported the R nineT. The latter is that the excellent basis for a scrambler conversion.”
Ola Stenegard, Head of BMW Motorrad style, says: “The plan of a BMW scrambler isn't new USA. currently gave the impression to be the correct time to gift our interpretation of this legendary vehicle thought.” At the guts of the thought Path twenty two there's a strong two-cylinder boxer engine with cardan drive - as is typical of BMW. The single-sided swing arm makes the five-spoke rear wheel visible, once more a well-recognized BMW feature.
BMW bike boss Stephan Schaller confirmed a Scrambler was on the cards at the recent launch of the thought a hundred and one bagger. He told MCN: “We wish to form families around all our engines and chassis. we wish 3 to 5 models around every version. i believe the Scrambler could be a superb plan and maybe you'll see one thing later this year. if truth be told i believe you'll be able to expect this to happen this year evidently. however it'll solely be shown and not purchasable till next year. i believe there ar another models we are able to do. maybe a café racer and perhaps another too.”
