Calling all adventure enthusiasts! The wait is finally over. BMW Motorrad India has officially announced the launch of the highly anticipated BMW R 1300 GS, the successor to the legendary R 1250 GS. Scheduled to hit showrooms on June 13, 2024, this new-generation adventure tourer promises a thrilling ride packed with improvements that elevate its off-road prowess and overall capability.
A Powerhouse for Every Terrain:
The R 1300 GS boasts a completely new, larger 1,300cc boxer engine, generating a heart-pounding 145 bhp and a commanding 149 Nm of torque. This potent mill, paired with a refined 6-speed gearbox, delivers exhilarating performance on any terrain. But power isn’t everything. BMW engineers have cleverly redesigned the engine layout, placing the gearbox underneath, resulting in a remarkable 12 kg weight reduction compared to its predecessor.
Uncompromised Handling and Comfort:
The R 1300 GS tackles any adventure with confidence thanks to its new sheet metal frame and a revised suspension setup. The iconic EVO Telelever remains at the front, complemented by a brand new EVO Paralever at the rear. This dynamic duo, along with the optional dynamic suspension, ensures exceptional handling and a comfortable ride, even on the most challenging trails.
Technology Meets Exploration:
Adventure doesn’t have to compromise on safety or convenience. The R 1300 GS comes loaded with a plethora of features, including multiple ride modes, advanced traction control, switchable ABS, and radar-assisted cruise control. A stunning 6.5-inch TFT digital instrument console displays all the vital information you need, keeping you focused on the journey ahead. For those seeking even more electronic assistance, BMW offers an optional Pro Package that further enhances the bike’s capabilities.
Three Ways to Unleash Your Inner Explorer:
The R 1300 GS caters to diverse riding styles with a choice of three exciting variants:
- Triple Black: A bold and aggressive statement for the urban adventurer.
- GS Trophy: Inspired by the legendary GS Trophy competition, this variant is equipped for conquering any terrain.
- Option 719 Tramuntana: This premium option boasts a unique aesthetic and exclusive features for the discerning rider.

Stay tuned for our comprehensive review coming soon on June 13th!
