For decades, the boxer engine in the BMW Motorrad R, RS and
GS
Adventure models has stood for distinctive, powerful and reliable
propulsion when it comes to dynamic riding along country roads, sporty
touring or enjoying long-distance trips and motorcycling adventures to
the full. For more than 25 years, BMW Motorrad has used 4-valve
technology in this connection, combined with electronic fuel injection
and closed-loop catalytic converter technology in order to achieve the
best possible power and torque delivery, efficiency and environmental compatibility.
Further advanced boxer engine with BMW ShiftCam Technology for
an additional increase in power across the entire engine speed
range, reduced emission and fuel consumption levels, optimised
running smoothness and refinement.
With the extensively further advanced boxer engine, the new R
1250 R, R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure not only achieve a whole new
level of power and torque. It was also possible to significantly
optimise refinement and running smoothness – especially within the
lower engine speed range. What is more, the new engine offers improved
emission and fuel consumption levels as well as a particularly
satisfying sound. For this purpose, BMW ShiftCam Technology has been
used for the first time in the serial production of
BMW Motorrad engines: this enables variation of the valve timings and
valve stroke on the intake side. In addition, the intake camshafts are
designed for asynchronous opening of the two intake valves, resulting
in enhanced swirl of the fresh, incoming mixture and therefore more
effective combustion. Other technical changes to the engine relate to
the camshaft drive – now taken care of by a toothed chain (previously
a roller chain) – an optimised oil supply, twin-jet injection valves
and a new exhaust system.
Two riding modes, ASC and Hill Start Control as
standard.
There are two riding modes available as
standard in order to be able to adapt the motorcycle to individual
rider preferences. The standard Automatic Stability Control ASC
ensures a high level of riding safety due to the best possible
traction. The set-off assistant Hill Start Control is likewise a
standard feature in all three models, enabling convenient set-off on slopes.
Riding Modes Pro, featuring additional riding modes, Dynamic
Traction Control DTC, ABS Pro, Hill Start Control Pro and Dynamic
Brake Assistant DBC, available as an optional equipment ex
works.
“Riding Modes Pro” is now available as
an optional equipment item, featuring the additional riding mode
“Dynamic” and “Dynamic Pro” (configurable), Dynamic Traction
Control DTC, and in the R 1250 GS Adventurre also the riding modes
“Enduro” and “Enduro Pro” (configurable). DTC enables
even more efficient and safe acceleration, especially when banking.
ABS Pro offers even greater safety when braking, even in banking
position. The new Dynamic Brake Control DBC provides additional safety
when braking, also in difficult situations, by avoiding unintentional
accelerator activation. By means of intervention in the engine
control, drive torque is reduced during braking so as to make full use
of the braking power at the rear wheel. This keeps the motorcycle
stable and shortens the braking distance.
LED headlamp for the R 1250 RS and R 1250 GS Adventure as
standard and LED daytime riding light for all three models as an ex
works optional equipment item.
The new R 1250 RS and R
1250 GS Adventure now feature a LED headlamp as standard. In addition
to this, the LED daytime riding light is available as an optional
equipment item for the R 1250 RS and the R 1250 GS Adventure as well
as for the R 1250 R, which has halogen headlamps.
Electronic suspension Dynamic ESA “Next Generation” with fully
automatic load compensation as an option.
With the optional equipment item BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA “Next
Generation”, damping automatically adapts to the situation according
to riding state and manoeuvres, and there is also automatic
compensation in all load states. This allows finely tuned adaptation
of the motorcycle to riding states, achieving optimum damping comfort
and a very stable ride response.
Connectivity: Multifunctional instrument cluster with 6.5 inch
full-colour TFT display offering many features as
standard.
The three new boxer models now have the
equipment feature Connectivity as standard including a 6.5-inch
full-colour TFT screen. In conjunction with the standard BMW Motorrad
Multi-Controller, this means the rider can access vehicle and
connectivity functions particularly swiftly and conveniently.
Intelligent Emergency Call as an ex works option.
Ensuring the fastest possible assistance in the event of an
accident or in situations of emergency and danger can save people’s
lives. The optional equipment item Intelligent Emergency Call summons
assistance to the scene as quickly as possible.
As before, this
feature can be ordered for all three models.
BMW Motorrad Spezial – high-quality customisation features as
optional equipment items ex works.
BMW Motorrad
Spezial is range of iconic customisation features that enhance both
performance and value, available as optional equipment items ex works.
The focus is on harmonious integration in the vehicle as a whole, use
of the very highest-quality materials, elaborate manual workmanship
and characteristic attention to detail.

boxer models, for example.
The new R 1250 R and R 1250 RS can also be equipped with the Option
719 Classic or Sport Wheels as well as the exclusive paintwork and the
Option 719 seat.
An HP sports silencer is likewise available ex works for all three
new boxer models.
