Munich. The BMW M Bike is a spectacular combination of state-of-the-art technology and exclusive design. Disc brakes and an elegant matt anthracite frame with the M logo combine perfectly with the leather saddle, stunning rims and handles, and shiny red seat inlay. Characteristic of the entire M collection, which, like the BMW M model itself, stands for the extraordinary and unique.

The thrill of speed.
Anyone who rides this sporty speed bike through the city or takes a short tour through the countryside will immediately attract a lot of attention − at least for a few seconds. The high total gear ratio transmission delivers astonishing speed.

The best of the best.
The BMW M Bike’s fi’zi:k saddle is made from the highest quality leather with a red inlay. This ensures extra riding comfort and superior grip. The built-in Shimano SLX gear system is light and sturdy. The Manitou Match suspension fork on the front wheel is incredibly durable and the disc brakes make for a clean stop.

Starting in June 2010 BMW M Bikes will be available in a special limited edition at select BMW dealers and online at www.bmw-shop.com.

Here you’ll also find choice textiles and other accessories from the M Collection, including the M Cabin Bag, a travel bag made from the finest leather, or the M Shoes − black sneakers made from a leather-nylon mix, designed in cooperation with Puma.

As nice as it might be.... I cannot even fathom how much you would get laughed at out on the trails with that thing.

And I'm sure it'll be $9,000.

What the hell? 28.4 pounds? 80mm of suspension and what appears to be a hardtail? What a mess, not that I'd really expect a car manufacturer to really get bikes. Seems like BMW and MB have already butchered bikes before.

[dth656]

at least they could have rebadged a santa cruz, titus, turner or any other quality mtn bike. plus, 80mm of travel in a hardtail today just seems pretty crappy. might as well save the weight and go w/ a rigid cro-mo or AL fork

I got all excited this was going to be about a S1000RRM haha. Not that that bike needs any more power.
