BMW's Most Powerful Motorcycle gets Polyamide Airbox with Electrically Adjustable Runner Lengths

The sportiest and most powerful motorcycle from BMW, the new S 1000 RR, draws its combustion air from an intake system with a built-in air filter function made from Ultramid® B3WGM24 HP, an extremely dimensionally stable polyamide (PA) from BASF. In motorcycle design, this component is called an airbox. For this high-performance motorcycle, the Stuttgart and Öhringen facilities of MAHLE (Germany) developed and manufactured the first airbox with an electrically adjustable runner length.
