Of course we want to offer our services as soon as possible also for the new S1000RR and M1000RR from model year 2023. To this end, we ordered immediately on the first day and were already able to take delivery of our new bike. Many thanks to Tommy Wagner Motorrad and BMW Motorrad Germany for a delivery that went smoothly and even ahead of schedule.

This year the S1000 models make the beginning with the revised mappings V2023. The best first - despite inflation we could keep our prices stable. Technically, we have introduced the following innovations / enhancements in addition to minor improvements that are not listed here...

• DTC*: various improvements based on development findings from racing (aim: softer intervention)
• Wheelie control*: disabled in gears 4/5/6 and reduced setup step range (1/2/3) for finer adjustments
• Launch control*: various improvements based on development findings from racing

Some customers have already asked for feedback on the 95dB(A) stationary noise measure for BMW S1000XR 2015-2019. So we are happy that we can already publish feedback despite winter - thank you Armin!

"Thank you very much for the smooth processing. Control unit was quickly removed with the instructions and sent and also came back fix again together with the sample report. Acceptance at the TÜV Süd was also completely problem-free. Since I now had to go to the registration office anyway, I immediately separated from the seasonal license plate and registered my XR for year-round operation. Drives like before, only the stationary noise is now just a little quieter. Super that you have taken care of this problem - now I can finally go back to Tyrol and who knows where else such route limitations will come."

Armin H., Germany, BMW S1000XR 2019

Also this year we say goodbye with a donation for the DRF Luftrettung, which we also presented on behalf of all of our customers.

We wish you a Merry Christmas, good health and a successful start into season 2023!

We have decided to support the German Endurance Cup DLC in addition to the ongoing driver sponsorship. Here is a review of the season finale in Oscherleben on 8.10.2022 by Marco Siegle, BMW S1000RR 2020 - many thanks at this point - from the Face2Face team.

For the first time Oschersleben this year. And for the first time a DLC race without previous training for the three of us. For all of us the cool temperatures at this time of the year were a challenge. After all, if you want to score points in the endurance race, you first have to get there. So we had to start slowly. Despite little preparation and little training, we were able to secure 18th place on the grid across all classes.

At 12 o'clock we went out for the Le Mans start. Marcel was our start driver. For the Le Mans start, all riders run across the track at the start signal, start the bike and ride off. Marcel starts (as always) bomb and rides right in front. Riders change only when the tank is empty. In Oschersleben, that means about 40 minutes at race pace at a stretch. The RS2E electronics package has brought a lot of benefits over the distance, including the short-stroke throttle grip, which is a real advantage over these long distances. Less movement saves power, is easy to control and is much gentler on the forearm. The traction control worked very well and is particularly helpful when accelerating out of any bend and is also clearly perceptible due to the acoustic feedback. Exit of the Hasseröder goes full throttle over a bump. Wheelietime - looks great, but costs time. Here the Wheelie Control optimized by RS2E served me well. In the race we had to fight with a technical defect of our team mate Hendrik in lap 48, which unfortunately cost us an additional driver change.

After 6 hours and 211 laps we finished 10th in our class. Under the circumstances we are satisfied. In the overall ranking 2022 Moto 1000 we made the 6th place. A great result with desire for more!

Overall I say "thank you" for the great work and support in this great 2022 DLC season!

We look forward to next season and continue to give full throttle in the direction of podiums!

A sloping or ascending track is difficult for the control systems to recognize and process. That's why we made the long journey to Portimao to test and further develop our race mappings under these challenging conditions. Now we have to analyze everything in detail during the next weeks to confirm improvements and to sort out other things.

Of course we had our camera with us again and can already offer a first video:
