BMW R1300 GS Adventure Design
The R1300 GS Adventure stands out with its distinct, more rugged design compared to the R1300 GS. Its boxy and functional design is evident in the squared-off edges at the beak under the headlight, the fuel tank, and the tail section. The centerpiece is the impressive 30-litre aluminium fuel tank, which not only enhances its imposing presence but also ensures fewer fuel stops during long rides. The tank extensions are chunky and seamlessly integrated, giving the bike a dominant look, especially when viewed head-on.
Features and Tech
The BMW R1300 GS Adventure is packed with advanced features to enhance safety and comfort on long rides. It comes standard with all-LED lights, including auxiliary lights, Dynamic Traction Control, and radar-based adaptive cruise control. Additionally, it features front and rear collision warnings to keep the rider alert and safe. The bike also includes a smartphone charging compartment with an integrated USB socket and a 12V on-board power socket.
A standout feature is the new Automated Shift Assistant (ASA), which uses two electromechanical actuators to automate clutch control and gear shifting. This reduces the effort required for gear changes, significantly lowering rider fatigue on long journeys.
