Motorcycle Overview
The BMW R1300GS is a powerful and highly capable adventure motorcycle designed for covering big distances both on and off the road. Its 1,300cc ShiftCam boxer engine delivers 145 hp and 149 Nm, while the refined chassis and 19-inch front wheel provide an excellent balance of performance, comfort and control for everything from highway touring to gravel adventures.
Off-Road Ergonomics
The R1300GS combines an upright riding position with wide handlebars, generous ground clearance and 190mm front and 200mm rear suspension travel. Its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels provide stability across gravel and rough terrain, while Enduro mode and sophisticated electronic assistance help you stay in control when the road gets interesting.
TFT & Connectivity
The R1300GS features a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT display with BMW Motorrad Connectivity, providing access to navigation, ride information, smartphone functions and vehicle settings. With four standard riding modes, Dynamic Traction Control and Full Integral ABS Pro, the electronics are designed to make changing road and riding conditions easier to manage.
Long-Range Fueling
With a 19-litre fuel tank and an efficient 1,300cc boxer engine, the R1300GS is built for long-distance adventure. Its combination of strong performance, claimed WMTC consumption of 4.8 litres per 100km and substantial fuel capacity makes it well suited to exploring long stretches of South African road and gravel.
