Making good things even better is the reason why we always ask our customers for feedback. Even though the enthusiasm for our power mapping for the F900 models is great, we have not stopped collecting potential for improvement. The new Euro 5+ models have of course also received attention, so now - after meticulous development and testing work - we are officially launching the V2026. The main improvements:
As a partner of the German Endurance Cup (DLC), we were right in the middle of the first race at the 1000 km Hockenheim on Holy Saturday. Impressions of an impressive day in the video (click on picture). It was great to see so many BMWs with our electronics at the start and to collect so much positive feedback on our work. We congratulate all participants on their sporting success and would like to thank Franz and his team for their hospitality and great race organization.
For those who have now tasted blood, there are 3 more DLC races this season - register here. In addition, there is of course still our motorsport sponsorship for all registered BMW starters.
Of course, we also want to offer our services for the new M1000RR from model year 2025 as soon as possible. BMW has changed the throttle valve system, the cylinder head and the exhaust system, which again means a lot of development work on the test bench for us. To this end, we ordered immediately on the first day and were able to take delivery of our new bike this week. Many thanks to Tommy Wagner Motorrad and especially Fabian Vetterl for the smooth handling from order to delivery.
Once again, David Datzer lived up to his role as favorite with his BMW M1000RR 2023. In front of around 11,000 motorsport enthusiasts, he was able to prevail against the international road racing competition in both the Superstock1000 and Superbike classes at the 44th Landshaag-St. Martin motorcycle hill climb. Datziii beat the existing track record both with the Superstock bike (series electronics + race mapping RPO C V2025) and with a Superbike built by Tommy Wagner with a specification similar to WSBK. In addition to David Datzer, local hero Manuel Schleindlhuber, who started on a BMW S1000RR 2023, also achieved a more than respectable result with 3rd place (STK) and 6th place (SBK). Manuel and the HS-Racing team are long-standing partners and have been providing us with valuable feedback for the further development of our electronic solutions for many years.
We congratulate everyone on their success and look forward to many more positive news in the course of this road racing season.

The R1300 is also often fitted with racing exhaust systems and even used on the racetrack. We have also developed the R version of our Dynamic Mapping for this purpose. Now that the season has started, we can already share the first enthusiastic feedback here. Many thanks to Carsten and Eddie for sharing!
... Cartagena completed after a total of 4 riding days. The R1300GS feels very good. Previous best time with the R1250 is 1:52 min, with the R1300 it is now 1:48.14 min. I didn't necessarily expect that. Other riders in my group - some of them on supersport bikes - said that the GS accelerates extremely well on the straight and is also extremely powerful at top speed. I also felt that the Öhlins TTX in the R13 worked even better. I'm already looking forward to attacking again on April 11th in the first race of the Boxercup. Carsten, Germany, BMW R1300GS 2024
Thank you very much for making my R1300GS so super and smooth, much better than it was. No more noisy cold starts - the sound of the open Akra system is a dream right from the start (see video). Plus the nice burble when you close the throttle and downshift - very nice :-). I honestly don’t have enough words about how amazing my R1300GS became after RS2E ... My God, it’s even better than an XR 1000 Eddie, Cyprus, BMW R1300GS 2024
With a new page in our Tech Corner we try to answer questions about engine replacement or engine revision for BMW M/S1000 models. We hope we have succeeded in making the information understandable. Many thanks to Motorrad Neumann who helped us with the pictures and videos.

Luis, Portugal, BMW S1000R 2023
As a competitive racer in the Portuguese Naked Bike Championship, optimizing my BMW S1000R for peak performance is crucial. After struggling with inconsistent downshifts and seeking improvements in power delivery, I reached out to RS2E for their expertise. From the initial inquiry to the final setup on track, the experience exceeded my expectations.
RS2E provided a tailored solution, recommending their Race Mapping PRO R along with a short action throttle conversion to refine my bike’s responsiveness. Communication was clear and professional throughout the process, with timely updates and valuable technical insights. Despite my tight schedule, they ensured my components were ready ahead of my first test session of the 2025 season.
The results on track were immediate and impressive. The throttle response is now perfect, and the quickshifter’s downshift issues have been completely resolved, allowing me to fully utilize its capabilities even under heavy braking. During my first test in Portimão, I ended the day with strong lap times despite variable track conditions. Shortly after, I matched my personal best lap time in Jerez, confirming the effectiveness of RS2E’s setup.
Beyond their technical expertise, RS2E’s customer service stood out. They not only delivered on their promises but also provided additional advice on cooling solutions and setup refinements, demonstrating a true passion for motorsport performance.
For anyone looking to extract the best from their motorcycle, I highly recommend RS2E. Their commitment to quality, performance, and customer satisfaction is evident in every interaction. A big thank you to Rainer, Robert, and the entire RS2E team for their support - I look forward to continuing to work with you and see the results materialize on track!
With this news article, we would like to thank all interested readers of our homepage and subscribers to our newsletter! We look back with gratitude on a great year. A year with many more highlights than those that made it into a news article. We also neglected our public relations work somewhat so that we could be there for our customers 100%. The overwhelming amount of appreciation we receive in the form of positive feedback via email, Google, telephone, etc. is our motivation to keep going. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This year, we were once again able to make a donation to the DRF Luftrettung and the Wings for Life Foundation.
The special thing behind the picture for this article: No - not the cookies on the GS! We retrofitted the original BMW seat heating to this BMW R1300GS in cooperation with Motorrad Pielmeier in Tiefenbach.
Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays and a healthy and successful 2026 season to all!
Robert and Rainer
This year we are once again working intensively on further improving our mappings for the M/S1000 models. We are starting with our Power Mapping PRO with the following new features / improvements:
And also a first feedback - thanks again to Marcel, Germany, S1000XR 2021 - update from v24 to v26 + short throttle:
"Package arrived yesterday, installed straight away, short throttle grip also screwed on. Everything worked out great [...] Rough conclusion after 50 km lap: no more jerking. I also rode in every gear and really made sure to ride constantly to feel any jerking, but it's simply no longer there. The torque is similar or the same as the old mapping [...]. Apart from that, the bike is much more agile, much more spontaneous thanks to the short-stroke throttle grip and simply rides better. More detailed conclusion after more riding time and with a direct comparison with my colleague who has the same model and the same year of manufacture (standard condition): So when you drive with the original mapping, you think someone is holding you down at the back. Because in contrast to the update, there is almost nothing at all at the bottom of the original! I've totally forgotten that again, the update has so much more power at the bottom and the short-stroke throttle grip makes the bike so aggressive and comes on immediately! In the original, you have to turn the throttle half a turn and then it moves forward so slowly. The bubbling is mega when you take the throttle off, [...] and the constant jerking is gone in every gear! No matter which gear, the bike runs so smoothly - top top top! [...] Shifting is also much smoother and easier below 4000 rpm, much easier than the original. And the cold start phase - the loud revving up is also history. I'm really happy with the update [...] and my colleague is thrilled too! He also thought he was riding a completely different model of the moped, so thank you very much for the mega great work."
In response to popular demand, we have now also looked at the R12 models. Based on the existing Dynamic Mapping for the R nineT predecessor models, we have worked intensively on the R12. In detailed development and testing work, we have put together the Dynamic Mapping for the BMW R12. Our changes can be summarized as follows:
And also the first feedback - thanks again to ...
... Andreas, Germany, R12 nineT 2024: "The result is simply impressive. Whether response, thrust acoust, optimized shift assistant or the shortened throttle grip. Everything is perfectly coordinated. The machine delivers confident performance at all times and in every situation and is simply great fun. 100% recommendation!
... Hans-Peter, Germany, R12 G/S 2025:"The shift assistant is perfect. The bumps in the middle speed range when shifting up have disappeared. The automatic shifts almost like a dual-clutch gearbox, so it's really very good. Throttle response in dynamic mode: The throttle response and acceleration are extremely dynamic. The motorcycle has a completely different characteristic and has become a sports machine. Emotions come up and the grin is under the helmet. Wheeliecontrol: ... The bike is nice and light at the front and takes off. In my opinion, the power is not reduced, just as we wanted it to be. Preheating the catalytic converter: The miserable revving when cold has thankfully disappeared. ... Conclusion: I handed in my R12 G/S as a tomcat and got it back as a lion. A synthetic driving experience became an emotional one. Perfect, keep it up and all the best.
Outlook for the R nineT models: we are planning to incorporate numerous findings from the R12 work. Requests for the waiting list or development partnership will be gladly accepted.
As usual, and already demanded, here are 2 selected feedbacks from the development / test phase of the Power Mapping for BMW F800 F900 models.
Giacomo, Italy, BMW F900GS 2025 with racing exhaust system
"... even though the asphalt is not the best at this time of year [March], it was great to ride. With the shortened throttle grip in combination with the improved response [eGas], it's fantastic. You often find yourself at the bottom end of the stroke, the engine pushes well with nice torque and power. Already in RAIN you can feel a big difference, before this mode was dead, in dynamics it's brutal, it blasts you away - how I like it! When you pull the gears, the engine revs up, revs up, never stops and the intervention of the limiter is not felt, it's just fantastic. The shift assist and the gearbox are fantastic, fluid and at the same time dry and fast with a shot in the arm both upshifting and downshifting. ... In short, I was already able to leave 600 and 1000cc supersport bikes behind me in the passes before and now it's even easier."
Paul, Germany, BMW F900XR 2020 with standard exhaust system, update from v2023 to v2026
"In short: I'm convinced that there's nothing more that can be done to improve the electronics. Shifting: Always perfect now! Throttle response in DYNAMIC (PRO) is now so nice and crisp, just how I wanted it. The higher torque at the bottom is more than noticeable. It's may be too aggressive for others (e.g. in city traffic), but then you can quickly switch to a softer throttle response by changing the riding mode - as I said, it works perfectly for me. The new fan control is also very pleasant, it no longer boils up so much when you have to wait at traffic lights."
