BMW HP2 Enduro (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW HP2 Enduro was a High Performance (HP) dirt bike based on the engine and electronics of the R 1000 GS. To highlight the sporting enduro qualities of the HP2, BMW was supporting a private racing team that used the HP2 model in off-road events such as the German Cross Country Championship, and outside the country, the model rolled in the Baja 500 and Baja 1000 races. At these events, BMW supplied all the motorcycles needed and sent service and support to private teams.

The 2006 HP2 Enduro was a lightweight motorcycle weighing 175 kg (385 lbs) that resulted from the light weight of the components.

The model Was taking its power from the 1170cc Boxer twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox resulting in an output of 105 hp at 7,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque at 5.500 rpm.

The 2006 model has a Trellis tube frame and a 45 mm upside-down fork, which gave it 270 mm of spring travel, and with the use of other modifications, it has 24 kg (53 lbs) less than the R 1200 GS.

The wheels design is made for rough conditions in a cross-spoke design, and the front wheel features a 305 mm semi-floating single-disc brake with a floating caliper, and at the rear is a 265 mm single-disc swing-caliper brake.
