AC Schnitzer R 1150 R Rockster
The BMW R 1150 R Rockster is a machine to make the rider dream of the next corner even when parked. This sporting performance is enhanced by aggressive styling. We at AC Schnitzer Motorrad-Technik have given the Rockster a helping hand on the way to this cornering pleasure in the form of an even more sporting outfit for and further improved engineering.
The engineers at AC Schnitzer first turned their attention to the aerodynamics. To complete the overall sporting impression, an engine spoiler was developed which makes all the difference, even in relation to other R 1150 R models.
Harmoniously integrated into the machine aesthetics, this engine spoiler also reduces soiling of the engine when riding in the wet.
With the V-Performance wheels available in sizes 5.5 and 6.0 x 17” for the rear, the already agile Rockster becomes a real master on corners. The gain in handling, ease of direction change and perceptible improvements under braking encourage a forceful riding style. V?Performance wheels are drop-forged and consist of high strength alloy. The very latest production methods mean reduced wall thicknesses are possible in the spoke and rim bed with no loss of strength. These wheels have repeatedly proven their ability in several race series.
Further eyecatchers are the carbon trim components of the AC Schnitzer Rockster. While the front and rear mudguards are made of black finish carbon fibre, the oil cooler trims are available as an option in silver finish carbon fibre.
To get the right sound of the Rockster - which is rather modest in standard trim - we fit the latest generation of the successful REMUS Revolution silencer. In conjunction with the new connecting section without pre-silencer, the system has EG ABE and provides a power gain of around 2 HP. For track use, the sound insert can be removed and the Rockster then releases the unmistakable Boxer sound.
The AC Schnitzer R 1150 R Rockster comes in a 2-colour special paint finish using the colours Inca-orange/Creme-yellow.
