The wait is finally over: the new Adventure variant of the BMW R 1300 GS, called the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure, is ready to be unveiled. Three years ago, a leak in the US appointment booking system revealed an R 1400 model, interpreted as a future adventure version.

On the evening of June 28, 2024, a teaser photo of the new motorcycle appeared on BMW Motorrad's social media channels. The image shows the X-shaped LED headlight of the BMW R 1300 GS, but with two additional side lights and a wider, more robust structure with protective bars. The official presentation is scheduled for July 5 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, during BMW Motorrad Days. BMW Motorrad has announced: "One of the highlights of this year's BMW Motorrad Days will be revealed on July 5 at 5:00 p.m."

Type approval for the BMW R1300 GS Adventure

The BMW R1300 GS Adventure (GSA) was approved on May 31, 2024. The new model is included in the Swiss approval documents, as is the version with the new ASA (Automatic Shift Assistant) automatic transmission. Although the full technical specifications are not yet available, the data relevant to type approval indicate some differences compared to the R1300 GS.

Performance and Specifications

The BMW R1300 GS Adventure retains the main features of the 1300 boxer. It has a maximum power output of 145 hp (107 kW) at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The top speed is 220 km/h, slightly lower than the R 1300 GS. Compared to the previous R 1250 GS Adventure, the new 1300 offers 9 hp more, 6 Nm more torque, and a top speed increased by 7 km/h.

Weight and Dimensions

The new BMW R1300 GS Adventure weighs 21 kg more than the R1300 GS, with a total weight of 271 kg ready to ride, 3 kg more than the R 1250 GSA. The tank capacity is not yet known, but it is assumed to be larger than the R1300 GS, which has approximately 29 liters. The new GSA can carry 20 kilograms more than the R1300 GS, with a maximum load of 485 kilograms.

Height and Design

The new BMW R1300 GS Adventure is slightly shorter than the R1300 GS, with a total length of 2,208 millimeters. However, it is significantly taller, with a maximum height of between 1,538 and 1,588 millimeters, depending on the windshield. These figures suggest a completely new front end and a sporty configuration with increased suspension travel.

Wheels and Tires

Unlike other large touring enduros, such as the Triumph Tiger 1200 or the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R, the new BMW R 1300 GS Adventure will not be equipped with a 21-inch front wheel. The homologation data shows the familiar combination of wheels and tires: 120/70 R19 at the front and 170/60 R17 at the rear.

Availability and Price

With type approval granted on May 31, 2024, the new BMW R1300 GS Adventure will be available for road use. It will be offered as a 2025 model and is likely to be priced higher than the R1250 GS Adventure, which currently starts at €19,950.
