Because the Bavarians have continued work on single-cylinder energy for his or her G collection, we’ve acquired a probability that the incubating bikes will carry greater punt at decrease revs.
At the moment, BMW’s ShiftCam VVT (Variable-Valve Timing) tech is housed within the indomitable R 1250 and the S 1000 RR; added to the potential of a single-cylinder, the ShiftCam system would improve torque within the decrease energy vary, promising one thing just like this stunt bike from India that we had been all hyped about again in 2015.
“Whereas the general concept is similar because the ShiftCam system within the newest R 1250 and S 1000 engines, the single-cylinder within the new patent is extra compact,” explains protection from CycleWorld.
“It’s made smaller by becoming the solenoid actuator between the 2 consumption valves – it’s a four-valve engine – so the camshaft doesn’t must be any longer than a traditional design.”
“Placing the actuator within the center does imply the spark plug must be fitted at an angle, and since the entire camshaft slides, there’s a further loafer gear connecting the consumption and exhaust cams, moderately than having a direct chain drive from the crankshaft to the camshafts.”
So which bikes are slotted for the massive improve?

At the moment, BMW’s G collection is the principle focus; that lineup encompasses the “G 310 GS, G 310 R, and G 310 RR, and the C 400 scooters manufactured in China by Loncin,” although there’s additionally chance that BMW will likely be creating a brand new bike to fill the area between their ultra-popular 310s and their F collection.
Which bikes do you suppose could have BMW’s new single-cylinder + ShiftCam VVT system?
