BMW Motorrad and the LEGO Group have unveiled the LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR, or M RR for short, which is due to be launched on 1η January 2022. The multi-purpose kit brings the exceptional 212 hp superbike racing technology to your living room, designed to meet the highest performance demands in motorsport and on the road.
The record number of 1,920 independent pieces and the impressive 1:5 scale are indicative of the fact that the 45.5 cm long LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR is an assembled motorcycle model in a class of its own. In addition to meticulous attention to technical details, the M RR version boasts features that are sure to appeal to modelers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike.
These include fully functional components such as the three-speed gearbox, inverted fork and rear swingarm with suspension, as well as the dashboard with three different display options and the gold transmission chain. Also, the paddock stand and pit board offer an added racing feel.
Ralf Rodepeter, Head of Marketing & Product Management at BMW Motorrad said: "When BMW Motorrad management announced the BMW M 1000 RR, the first M model on two wheels, everyone expected it to be something special. In the same spirit, the LEGO Technic team realized that they had to come up with something unprecedented to honor the M RR. The result: a motorcycle and a technical model that each represents the latest technology in its field."
LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR marks the continuation of the successful partnership between BMW Motorrad and LEGO and offers modelers the opportunity to build BMW Motorrad's first M model, which, like the standard motorcycle, stands out for its technological excellence and attention to detail.
Samuel Tacchi, designer of the LEGO Group commented: "It's so enjoyable to penetrate beneath the exterior surface of such an important BMW Motorrad model. There's a reason why these beautiful motorcycles are popular with the global biker community, and we're confident that the LEGO Technic version will be as successful as its real-world namesake."
