The £18,870 R1300GS Adventure, revealed by BMW during Motorrad Days.

BMW debuted the highly awaited R1300GS Adventure at the Motorrad Days festival in Bavaria, with a price tag of £18,870. The R1250GS Adventure, which has been available since 2019, is replaced by this new model, which improves upon its heritage with notable upgrades.

The 1300cc boxer twin engine that powers the R1300GS Adventure produces 110lb.ft of torque at 6500 rpm and 143 horsepower at 7750 rpm, just like the ordinary R1300GS. The motor of the bike is placed within a shell frame made of sheet metal, which serves as a sturdy foundation for its innovative features.

The largest modification is the larger petrol tank, which holds 30 gallons instead of the previous model's 19 liters. This gives the bike a more substantial presence, especially when paired with its 269kg kerb weight. Extra LED headlamps surround the new form of the flattened aluminum tank, adding to its appearance and usefulness. Three pre-attached mounting points for a 12-liter tank bag and luggage choices, including a 37-liter aluminum top box and panniers with a total 73.5-liter capacity, are included on the bike for added convenience.

Along with electronic enhancements, BMW equipped the R1300GS Adventure with a self-lowering suspension system that allows the seat height to be adjusted between 870mm and 890mm. Four riding modes and lean-sensitive features like cornering ABS and hill hold control are standard on the bike. Furthermore, Dynamic Suspension Adjustment (DSA) adapts to different terrains by utilizing onboard computers to modify spring rates and damping according to load and riding conditions.

Heated grips, keyless ignition, and a variety of accessories like comfort seats, baggage, and a collision warning system are just a few of the customization choices. The bike comes in a variety of color combinations, such as GS Trophy and Triple Black.

In addition, BMW has included an Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) as an optional feature, bringing the total cost to £21,300. This technology makes long-distance touring more comfortable by doing away with the need for a clutch lever and providing both manual and automatic modes. The ASA system, which took five years to create, is a part of a larger trend in the industry, since semi-automatic transmission technology is also being investigated by Yamaha and KTM.
