The
optional Style Triple Black enhances the masculine nature of the two
motorcycles in and the Blackstorm metallic / black / agate grey colour
combination. The black-coated drivetrain is surrounded by the main frame in
metallic matt agate grey, a black rear frame and the black anodized tubular
handlebars.
In addition, front panel carrier, luggage
carrier, slider tube and brake callipers are designed in black. The optional
Style Rallye lends a sporty nature with the light white solid paint/ racing
blue metallic / racing red solid paint colour combination, they present
themselves particularly dynamically as off-road specialist touring endures.
The new full LED adaptive headlight design
lends a striking visual appeal. The X-shaped light icons included in the new
headlights makes the new BMW R 1250 GS and new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure look
unique when the headlight is switched on and while riding. New lighting
functions, cruising light and function-integrated turn indicator bulbs are
available as optional equipment.
The
new lighting function makes the experience even more intense and practical at
the same time. The ‘Welcome’ light function is activated as soon as the
ignition is switched on. The ‘Goodbye’ light function activates the front and
rear lights for a short moment and then slowly dimmed after switching off the
ignition. The new ‘Follow me Home’ function enables activation of the driving
lights by briefly pressing the high beam button offering optimum visibility at
night and for maneuvering in parking spaces. The newly developed turn indicator
bulbs are standard and are state-of-the-art in terms of design and technology
and generate a strikingly new appearance of the two new GS models.
Both
models feature the powerful 2-cylinder in-line Boxer engine with a displacement
of 1254cc, producing a power output of 136 hp at 7,750 rpm for dynamic
performance and generates a maximum torque of 143 Nm at 6,250 rpm. The variable
camshaft control BMW ShiftCam is an entirely new technology which provides
supreme ridability along with an additional increase in power across the entire
engine speed range, reduced emission and fuel consumption levels, optimised
running smoothness and refinement.
The
new BMW R 1250 GS and new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure are now equipped with the Pro
riding modes. With the two ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ riding modes, the riding
characteristics can be adapted to varied conditions. The new standard ‘Eco’
riding mode increases the efficiency with soft throttle curve and moderate
torque limitation.
The
riding mode button can be used to switch quickly and easily to a different
riding mode when desired. The pro riding modes include Dynamic, Dynamic Pro,
Enduro and Enduro Pro. In addition, the ‘Dynamic Pro’ and ‘Enduro Pro’ riding
modes each have individualisation options for adapting the vehicle character to
one's own requirements and thus further increasing riding pleasure. The riding
mode preselection can be used for quick individual selection of riding modes.
The
next generation optional Electronic Dynamic ESA provides higher dimension of
riding safety, performance and comfort thanks to automatic and adaptive damping
as per the riding conditions and manoeuvres.
The
standard Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) ensures high level of riding safety due
to the best possible traction. The set-off assistant Hill Start Control Pro
(HSC Pro) is a standard feature in both models and noticeably improves the
starting function in all conditions. The standard BMW Integral ABS Pro provides
more safety when braking, even in inclined positions. 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.
Comfort
features now include heated grips, two power sockets as standard for charging
smartphone and other compatible devices. A 12-volts on-board socket is
installed under the rider’s seat. A USB-A socket with 5-volt power supply is
also available for quick charging. Both motorcycles are equipped with a 6.5
inch full-colour TFT display. Integrating operation via the BMW Motorrad
multi-controller, it gives the rider quick access to vehicle and connectivity
functions. Phone and media functions can be used without having to install an
app. The rider can easily make telephone calls and enjoy listening to music
with Bluetooth connection. In addition, the BMW Motorrad Connected app offers
everyday-suitable and practice-oriented arrow navigation directly via the TFT
display.
A
comprehensive range of optional equipment and original BMW Motorcycle
accessories is available for further individualisation of the new BMW R 1250 GS
and new BMW 1250 GS Adventure.
