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
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
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
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
generous space, even for the pillion passenger
easy-to-read 8-inch TFT display with offline sat-nav
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
