If you're an adventure motorcycling enthusiast, you're no stranger to the iconic BMW GS series. Since its debut in 2019, the BMW R 1250 GS has been a favorite among riders, with impressive sales figures to prove it. However, BMW is not one to rest on its laurels, and they've unveiled their latest creation, the R 1300 GS.

Lighter, Sleeker, and More Powerful

One of the most significant improvements in the R 1300 GS is its weight. This 2024 model is 26 pounds lighter than the R 1250 GS. This reduction in weight was part of BMW's engineering goals to create a lighter, slimmer, and more compact adventure motorcycle while retaining the GS series' legendary pedigree.

At the heart of the R 1300 GS is BMW Motorrad's legendary boxer twin engine which features a larger capacity with more radical bore and stroke measurements, resulting in a 1,300cc engine – 46cc more than the R 1250 GS.

Incredible Performance and Features

BMW claims that the R 1300 GS can deliver around 95 pound-feet of peak torque from 3,600 RPM, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 3.39 seconds. The six-speed transmission has been repositioned below the engine, shaving off 6.5 KG, compared to the previous generations, and distributing the bike's weight more evenly.

The R 1300 GS doesn't just excel in terms of performance; it also boasts a striking new design. Everything from the headlight and beak to the tail lamp and luggage rack has been revamped to create a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from the R 1250 GS.

In terms of features, the R 1300 GS takes a leap forward with the inclusion of four ride modes (Eco, Rain, Road, Enduro), dynamic brake control, drag torque slip control, TPMS, heated grips, a charging compartment with a USB port, handguard-mounted LEDs, and a matrix LED headlight – all of which were missing on the R 1250 GS. Additionally, the R 1300 GS offers a range of new accessories, including front and rear radar, heated seats, forged enduro wheels, adaptive height control, and a bi-directional quick-shifter.
