BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW R 1300 GS 2024

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
