BMW R 1300 GS 2026

BMW R 1300 GS 2026

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS drawing on a wealth of experience and expertise, which is evident in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders, offering an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs equally well both off-road and on the road.

Powerful engine with very sporty responsiveness

Excellent traction

Very stable riding performance – yet the bike remains agile and a joy to ride through bends

Hand guards provide good wind protection

With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Intuitive control layout

Easy-to-read display

A wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment

A superbly functioning and discreetly integrated emergency call system

Excellent balance under varying load conditions

Not every desired configuration is possible – in some cases, you have to select unnecessary extras as well

The suspension performs well – but it doesn’t offer truly flawless responsiveness, nor does it have a particularly wide range of adjustment

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday conditions

For taller riders, the bike feels a little too compact for an adventure bike, particularly from the rear

The side panels are prone to scratches on rough off-road terrain and when worn with heavy-duty boots

Hand guards with integrated indicators are not suitable for off-road use

KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2025

KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2025

With the 1390 Adventure S EVO, KTM demonstrates what is technically possible, incorporating new and improved comfort features – such as a wonderfully smooth-running automatic gearbox, adaptive cruise control and semi-active suspension into a bike that, after ten model years, is extremely well-developed and undoubtedly ranks among the sportiest touring enduro bikes. Whether you’re out for a relaxed ride, even with a passenger, or racing with a knife between your teeth on your way to the ‘King of the Pass’ – the SAS is living proof that comfort and sportiness are not mutually exclusive.

A powerful engine that performs with confidence in any situation

a perfectly tuned automatic gearbox with noticeable differences between the gear modes

a foot-operated gear lever AND paddle shifters on the handlebars

state-of-the-art electronic suspension

Front radar with useful features

sportiness

generous space, even for the pillion passenger

easy-to-read 8-inch TFT display with offline sat-nav

intuitive controls

top-class brakes

Dynamic Slip Adjuster in the optional Rally mode

The wide fuel tank means the seating position isn’t ideal

fuel consumption is relatively high

the emergency braking assistant intervenes a little too early
