HP stands for high performance. And high performance is achieved by focusing only on the essentials,
and getting rid of anything that does not contribute to this objective. This ruthless elimination of excess
weight combined with a wealth of radical design details has resulted in a truly unique motorcycle.
BMW Motorrad’s design engineers have had this vision for many years. Now ´nally the world is ready for it.”

A world ´rst: the HP2 Enduro is the ´rst production
motorcycle to feature the Air Damping System,
a spring damper mechanism that runs exclusively
on air.
High-tech made easy.
Technology doesn’t have to be complicated to be innova-
tive. With the Air Damping System, simply adjusting the
air pressure to the rider’s weight is enough to ensure the
optimum balance of compression and rebound damping.
And the adjustment process could hardly be easier. All the
rider has to do is sit on his bike on a µat surface, and turn
the valve on the Air Damping System until the spirit level
built into the bike is correctly aligned.
The air pressure can also be adjusted manually, using a
hand pump stowed under the seat to increase it, and a
release valve to decrease it. Once the suspension has been
set up in this way, the damping can be ´ne-tuned in both
Sport and Competition modes via a handwheel on the
suspension strut.
Advantage BMW.
BMW Motorrad’s new Air Damping System has a number
of advantages compared with oil-damped suspension
struts with coil springs. It manages to combine involving
feedback with outstanding stability, so you enjoy a smooth
ride even on rough terrain. This lightweight solution is also
completely maintenance-free.
Look, no spring!

The generously sized footrests and narrow seat of the HP2 Enduro
allow riders to really throw their weight around. Because freedom
of movement is vital to getting maximum performance from your
machine, especially in slow, twisting, technically demanding
ections. And the high-torque boxer engine with its low centre
of gravity and smooth power delivery is the perfect complement
to the HP2 Enduro’s rider-friendly handling, ensuring you can cross
even the most challenging of terrain with the minimum of fuss.
