If straight-line speed is your priority, the S 1000 XR takes the lead. With 55 HP more than the V100 Mandello, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the S 1000 XR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 6kg less than the V100 Mandello, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners.

Its seat height is 35mm lower than the S 1000 XR, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the s1000xr offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
