The BMW R 1300 GS is a game-changing adventure bike that is sure to thrill in even the most demanding riders. The German company has taken the BMW R 1300 GS to the next level by making it more powerful, smaller, and lighter. Major changes have been made such as replacing the tubular steel chassis with a compact pressed steel shell that uses the engine as a stressed member. The subframe is cast aluminium, and the Telelever front end and Paralever shaft drive rear are lighter and have improved flex properties.
The BMW R 1300 GS has a narrower profile with a smaller, thinner fuel tank, and it's a doddle to ride. The bike's new features, such as the sports display, textured finish on the rocker cover and fuel tank, and a retractable centre stand tab, make it an excellent adventure touring bike. The new manually adjustable screen is quieter at speed, which is a significant advantage for an adventure bike. You can opt for an electric screen version, and the operation, heated grips control, and options like heated seats, radar cruise, and electronic suspension can now all be controlled by a single switch without diving into the menus on the dash.
The BMW R 1300 GS has a new chassis, and the ride experience is even more exhilarating than its predecessor. It has excellent stability and ride quality, and it's more agile, accurate and roadster-like than before.
