Product Details

Welcome to the pinnacle of long-distance comfort with KAOKO Cruise Control for BMW K 1300/1200GT, R 1200RT up to '09, R 1150R/RT, R 1150 GS/Adventure, R 1100R/R. When tackling long motorway stretches or touring trips, the constant tension on the throttle grip can cause muscle fatigue and bothersome tingling. KAOKO, a global leader in mechanical cruise control systems, offers a refined and safe engineering solution, specifically designed to allow the rider to relax their right hand without losing speed control.

The Kaoko system stands out for its incredible simplicity and reliability. Unlike complex electronic systems, this mechanical friction device integrates perfectly with the original handlebar weight, maintaining the motorcycle's aesthetic. It is not just a comfort accessory, but a true improvement in active safety, reducing the rider's physical stress and allowing for a smoother, more focused ride.

Advantages and Innovation of KAOKO Systems

Installing a Kaoko cruise control on your motorcycle brings immediate and lasting benefits, dramatically enhancing the touring experience:

  • Fatigue Reduction: Allows the hand, wrist, and forearm to rest during constant speed stretches, preventing cramps and fatigue.
  • Smooth Speed Control: Adjustment is made via an intuitive friction collar, which allows the throttle to be locked in the desired position or adjusted precisely.
  • Perfect Integration: Each kit is custom-designed for the specific motorcycle model, ensuring no interference with handguards, mirrors, or original controls.
  • Safety and Responsiveness: The system is designed to be manually overridden at any time. In an emergency, the throttle can be closed instantly without having to adjust the collar.
  • Premium Materials: Built to last the lifetime of the motorcycle, using stainless steel and high-strength plastic materials resistant to UV rays and chemical agents.

Robust Engineering for Maximum Comfort

KAOKO's manufacturing philosophy is based on extreme durability. Every component is machined with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines to ensure minimal tolerances and smooth operation that does not degrade over time or with exposure to the elements. The adjustment collar is designed to offer the right grip even when wearing heavy winter gloves, allowing precise activations and deactivations with a single natural pinky finger movement.

In addition to technical functionality, Kaoko pays great attention to operational safety. The friction exerted by the device is constant but calibrated, allowing the rider to modulate acceleration even while cruise control is active. This mechanical approach eliminates the risks associated with electrical malfunctions or dirty sensors, typical of low-quality aftermarket electronic systems, offering total peace of mind in any travel scenario.

FAQ - Buying and Installation Guide

Is it difficult to install the Kaoko cruise control?

No, installation is extremely simple and usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes. In most cases, it involves replacing the original handlebar end weight with the Kaoko device using the screws provided in the kit.

Does the system completely lock the throttle?

The device applies adjustable friction. It is not a total "rigid" mechanical lock; it is designed to maintain position but always allows the rider to manually force it closed or open in case of immediate need.

Can I use it if I have heated grips?

Yes, Kaoko systems are compatible with most original and aftermarket heated grips, provided there are no external mechanical interferences not foreseen by the motorcycle's original design.
