Even more sophisticated, more innovative and more fascinating - due
to numerous new features and an extended range of optional equipment
and Original BMW Motorrad Accessories - they are the perfect
companions for discovering the most remote corners of our planet by motorcycle.
The legendary two-cylinder boxer engine ensures a superior and
cultivated drive. It still has a displacement of 1,254 cm3 with 100 kW
of power. Due to BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve control
timing and valve lift on the intake side, it provides superior power
across the entire speed range, extremely smooth and quiet running and
outstanding consumption and emission values.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and new “Eco” riding mode as
standard. Pro riding modes with riding mode preselection and dynamic
engine brake control as optional equipment.
The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) ensures a high level of driving
safety by best possible traction as standard. With the new standard
"Eco" riding mode the rider is encouraged to drive as
efficiently as possible.
As optional equipment ex works, the new R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS
Adventure can be equipped with the Pro riding modes option. With the
new riding mode preselection, the rider can have an individual
selection of riding modes provided at the riding mode button. The
dynamic engine brake control is also a new component of the Pro riding
modes. It can be used to safely avoid unstable driving conditions,
which can occur in coasting overrun mode or when downshifting due to
excessive brake slip at the rear wheel.
New BMW Integral ABS Pro as standard.
The R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure are the world's most popular
touring enduros, in their latest edition with BMW Integral ABS Pro as
standard. This is a brake system that provides even more safety when
braking, even in inclined positions, and thinks even further ahead, so
to speak. The additional expansion of the riding mode concept results
in more new functions. For example, the advanced adaptation of the ABS
control characteristics to the respective riding mode.
Hill Start Control Pro (HSC Pro) with advanced function as
optional equipment ex works.
The Hill Start Control drive-off assistant is standard in both
models and enables convenient stopping and starting when driving
uphill. Hill Start Control Pro (HSC Pro) goes beyond the Hill Start
Control comfort system and noticeably improves the starting
performance in all conditions.
New full-LED adaptive headlights, new lighting function,
cruising light and function-integrated turn indicator bulbs as
optional equipment ex works.
The standard full-LED headlight already illuminates the road with
an unmatched bright and clear light. A newly developed headlight with
swivel function goes one step further. With the optional
"adaptive headlight” equipment, the low-beam headlight of the
standard full-LED headlight is turned into the curve depending on the
inclined position. Curves are almost fully illuminated this way
because the light is where the motorcycle is moving.
The new lighting functions make the experience with the R 1250 GS
and R 1250 GS Adventure even more intense and practical at the same
time. In future, the welcome light ("Welcome" function), the
"Good bye" function and the "Follow me home"
function for orientation will be available as optional equipment. With
the optional cruising light equipment, the two front turn indicator
bulbs are operated so that they are permanently dimmed simultaneously.
In the case of the multifunctional rear indicator lamps, the standard
rear LED flashing turn indicators are replaced by LED flashing turn
indicators (depending on the market), which can emit yellow flashing
light and red brake light or rear light simultaneously.
Vehicle voltage and USB sockets as standard. Seat heating for
rider and passenger for increased travelling and touring capability
as well as handlebar risers by 30 mm as optional equipment ex works.
The new BMW R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure already have two
different sockets as standard. A 12 V vehicle voltage socket and a
USB-A socket with 5 V power supply. A seat heating for rider and
passenger as optional equipment ex works also provides a significant
increase in comfort at low outside temperatures. A new operating
concept enables particularly easy handling. In addition to the
different rider's seats and footrests available as optional equipment
or Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, the handlebar height can now
also be adjusted with the optionally available handlebar risers.
The new R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure: Travelling,
off-road and adventure expertise, each in an attractive basic colour
and the two triple black and Rallye style variants. “40 Years GS”
anniversary edition.
In their respective basic versions, the new BMW R 1250 GS and R
1250 GS Adventure emphasise their more precise nature and universal
talents in light white solid paint and ice grey solid paint. In
addition, the triple black style and Rallye style variants, available
ex works as optional equipment each offer two particularly expressive
colour concepts. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the BMW GS
models in 2020, the two new GS models with "40 Years GS" in
black and yellow are based on a milestone in GS history: the legendary
R 100 GS.
