Buzzoni speaks highly of new HP4 bike
The resounding double win of Chaz Davies in the Superbike class hasn't been the only reason for BMW to consider the MotorLand Aragon Round one of the best pages in the history of the Brand so far. The new BMW HP4 bike made its debut in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup last weekend and was ridden by Reigning Champion Sylvain Barrier to a dominant race victory. The direct evolution of the S 1000 RR, featuring the innovative DDC (Dynamic Damping Control) system, is the new pride of everyone involved in the BMW Motorrad WSBK Project, starting from General Manager Andrea Buzzoni.


"Last weekend, the brand new BMW HP4 equipped with DDC made its debut in the Superstock Championship" said Buzzoni. "Thanks to the development work that the team have done over the last three months, BMW wrote an important page in the history of motorcycle racing as it is the first bike to win with an innovative electronic damping system. I want to congratulate both the team along with our colleagues in Munich for developing the system and Sylvain, who knows how to make perfect use of this new technology: Sylvain dominated the whole weekend right from free practice up until Sunday morning's race."
