BMW F900R Tyre Size
The F900R runs a 120/70-17 front tyre and a 180/55-17 rear tyre.
This is probably the most common motorcycle tyre pairing out there, so you’ll have no shortage of tyre options.

BMW F900R History
Launched in 2020, the F900R is probably best known in the UK as the bike in the BMW one-make race series, the F900R Cup.
The F900R uses a big-bored F850 engine and the same frame as the XR but with shorter-travel suspension compared to the XR. It’s a direct rival to the Yamaha MT-09 and it’s probably a better, more usable bike on UK roads than the bigger S1000R.

The F900R was launched on Bridgestone S21 tyres as standard. The later models were launched on Pirelli Rosso IV tyres.
These are both decent sports tyres.

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
Whether you want a digital tyre pressure gauge or a good old-fashioned analogue pressure gauge, we’ve got a gauge for you. Now you can quickly and easily check your pressures, to keep your bike handling well and to ensure you stay safe.
