The BMW GS has been the undisputed leader of the competitive adventure touring field since its introduction. To ensure this remains the case in the future, BMW Motorrad has created an almost completely new design for the new R 1300 GS. It features a new boxer engine and new suspension, with significantly reduced weight and increased GS competence all round.

Its new design is more compact than ever before thanks to a gearbox located under the engine and a new camshaft drive arrangement. From 1300 cc, the new engine produces 145 hp at 7,750 rpm and develops a maximum torque figure of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm. This makes it by far the most powerful boxer engine ever to be produced by BMW Motorrad.

The new EVO Telelever front suspension with flex element and the revised EVO Paralever rear end provide even greater steering precision and ride stability. 

The almost completely new design for the new R 1300 GS has resulted in an impressive weight saving of 12kg compared to the previous model. Its bodywork and frame design are like no other GS that’s gone before, with a less bulky, sportier feel.
