Data and equipment
The BMW R 1300 GS
The BMW R 1300 GS embodies the pure essence of the GS spirit. Its relatively low weight, combined with the powerful 145 hp boxer and generous 1300 ccm displacement makes it the our best in the large touring enduro segment. The goal during development was maximal reduction instead of ever-increasing size. The result: inimitable handling. Despite its low complexity, it has more comprehensive standard equipment than ever before. Learn everything you need to know about the technical data and extensive equipment options here.
