Munich. Two tradition-steeped brands, two success stories, a single passion: BMW Motorrad and British luxury clothing company Belstaff stand for premium quality, ergonomic forms and distinctive design. Since the 1920s – the decade that saw the emergence of BMW Motorrad and Belstaff – both brands have been considered style-setting. The vibrant heritage of the BMW Motorrad brand is reflected in its anniversary model, the BMW R nineT. A purist roadster, it embraces stand-out iconic elements from 90 years of BMW Motorrad history. The roots of the luxury British fashion label, established in 1924, lie in adrenaline, craftsmanship and speed. Common origins and the passionate pursuit of perfection have now brought the two brands together. BMW Motorrad and Belstaff are presenting the fruits of their first collaboration: a special collection of jackets to go with the premium BMW R nineT anniversary model.

 

Dynamic fit, high-grade materials.
The line-up of select “Pure Motorcycle” jackets from Belstaff’s spring/summer 2014 collection reflect the “mindset” of the BMW R nineT and forge a perfect symbiosis of tradition and innovation. Legendary cuts drawn from several eras of motorcycle fashion have been given a fresh take. The special collection comprises eight jackets – two for women and six for men. They are close-fitting and dynamic, in the mould of biking gear, and range from short, feminine blouson-style jackets with vertical pockets to waisted long jackets with patch flap pockets. Depending on the model, the material is either leather or hand-waxed cotton. Not only do the subtle sheen and stylish cut exude premium quality, their functionality is equally compelling: wax cotton is breathable and offers freedom of movement while being extremely durable, waterproof and windproof. Leather, on the other hand, boasts very high abrasion resistance, offers safety and wear comfort, and is robust and weatherproof. This special collection is identified by a high-quality aluminium plaque on the inside of the jacket bearing the
BMW emblem in vintage look.

Prices range from 450 to 1,100 euros. The items will be on sale from March 2014 in time for the start of the season and available exclusively from select BMW dealerships and subsidiaries.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
