BMW R1300 GS Adv: debut coming soon

BMW R1300 GS Adv: imminent debut and everything you need to know

The wait for the BMW R1300 GS Adv is finally over. Approved since May 31, 2024, the new motorcycle is ready to hit the market, bringing with it a series of technical improvements and innovations over the previous model. MOTORRAD has examined the main features of the new GSA, comparing it with the standard standard BMW R1300 GS and the previous BMW R1250 GS Adventure.

Type Approval and New Features

The BMW R1300 GS Adventure, abbreviated to GSA, has been officially approved in Switzerland and introduced with a new ASA (Automatic Shift Assistant) automatic transmission. This innovation allows for smooth, seamless gear changes, improving the riding experience. Although the full technical data is not yet available, the data provided for approval reveals significant differences compared to the R1300 GS.

Powerful Performance

The new BMW R1300 GS Adv retains its maximum power output of 145 hp (107 kW) at 7,750 rpm, with a maximum torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm. These specifications make it a powerful, high-performance motorcycle capable of tackling any terrain with ease. However, the GSA is approved for a top speed of 220 km/h, slightly lower than the R1300 GS. Compared to the R 1250 GS Adventure, the new 1300 GSA offers 9 hp more, 6 Nm of additional torque, and a top speed that is 7 km/h higher.

Weight and Fuel Tank

A significant aspect of the new GSA is its weight. With an increase of 21 kg compared to the R 1300 GS, the GSA reaches a total weight of 271 kg, ready to ride. This also makes it 3 kg heavier than the R 1250 GSA. The tank volume, while not specified, is expected to be larger than the R 1300 GS, similar to the 30 liters of the 1250 GSA. The load capacity has also increased, with the new GSA able to carry up to 485 kg, 20 kg more than the R 1300 GS.

Dimensions and Height

The BMW R1300 GS Adv is slightly shorter than the R 1300 GS, with a total length of 2,208 mm, 4 mm less than the GS and 62 mm less than the 1250 GSA. However, the height has increased significantly, reaching between 1,538 and 1,588 mm, depending on the windshield. This increase in height suggests a redesigned front end and a sportier configuration with 20 mm more spring travel.

Tires and Wheels

Unlike other large touring enduros, the new BMW R1300 GS Adv does not feature a 21-inch front wheel. Instead, it retains the familiar wheel-tire combination of 120/70 R19 at the front and 170/60 R17 at the rear, with no options for other tires.

Launch and Price

With homologation complete, the new BMW R1300 GS Adv will likely be unveiled and available for purchase starting in late summer or early fall 2024. It could make its debut at BMW Motorrad Days in Garmisch in July, and will definitely be available as a 2025 model. The expected price for the new 1300 GSA will be over €20,000, considering that the BMW R1300 GS Adv currently starts at €19,950.
