The engine of the GS, the 145 HP 1,300, is inserted in a deeply updated Roadster Roadster. Available in four installations, it has a more compact design and a driving position revised in a sports key.
In compliance with a consolidated tradition, BMW proceeds to degrees in extending the adoption of new engines to the various families. So here The boxer 1300 which in 2024 revolutionized the GS, begins to reach the other models. Starting with the Naked, which from R 1250 R is transformed into R 1300 R, with an important technical and stylistic evolution. The stated goal is to improve dynamic road performance, while maintaining the characteristics for use in the tourist field. The new R 1300 R is equipped with a deeply revisited version of the twin -cylinder boxer engine, now with displacement brought to 1,300 cc. The most evident change concerns the increase in the aboge and the reduction of the race, with values of 106.5 mm and 73 mm respectively (they were 102 x 76), which testify A turning point that goes beyond the simple increase in cubicature. The maximum declared power is 145 HP at 7,750 rpm, with a torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm, values completely equivalent to those of the GS. It is the Newer and more powerful engine in the history of boxers destined for the great series. The distribution is entrusted to Shiftcam technology, which ensures the variation of the fabric and the upward of the suction side valves.
The six -speed gearbox is now positioned under the engine, Solution that has made it possible to reduce the longitudinal dimensions of the driving group and improve the balance. The weight of the twin cylinder dropped by 3.9 kg compared to the previous one, while The total saving on the transmission reaches 6.5 kg. The chassis, in turn completely new, uses a steel sheet metal structure for the front section, with the addition of a die -cast aluminum rear frame. As for the suspensions, in front there is a 47 mm reversed stems, while The rear suspension is the Paralever EVO, With excursions of 140 and 130 mm respectively. As for the GS, the possibility of mounting the DSA electronic system (Dynamic Suspension Adjustment), which iin real time in the damping, stiffness of the springs and charge compensation. The R 1300 R is the first standard bike with a telescopic fork with overturned stems equipped with electronic adjustment of the elastic coefficient of the springs.
evolved ergonomics

The brake sector includes standard ABS PRO with full functionoptimized to be effective even when cornering. At the front, the R 1300 R is equipped with two 310 mm discs with four -piston radial calipers, while at the rear there is a single 285 mm disc. For those who want more, BMW also offers a sports facility with calipers with titanium finish. The driving position has been changed to move the pilot’s weight to the front. Ergonomics is completed by the flat handlebar and slightly backward platforms, which define a more active triangulation, ideally set to encourage the curve control. As usual, the Germans have taken into consideration the needs of users with different statures: There are therefore various saddle options, with heights that can vary from 785 to 810 mm.
as standard and optional

There are three standard driving modes: Rain, Road and Eco. The latter favors consumption by reducing the couple and adopting a sweeter response of the gas command. As an option, instead you can add the Dynamic and Dynamic Pro programs, with the possibility of customizing the electronic control parameters. Of course, there are other elements that are now part of the list of equipment on request, such as ASA (Automated Shift Assistant). This is the initials that BMW has chosen to identify the system known as Quickshifter, which allows you to change gear without using the clutch and without closing the accelerator. Always The riding assistant is also available with surcharge, which integrates the adaptive control and the front collision notice.

The lighting system is naturally led. The front lighthouse has a polygonal shape and, in an option, it can include the headlight pro system with adaptive light in curves. As standard there are the 6.5-inch color TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity and USB-C socket. The R 1300 R is proposed in four variants: base, exclusive, performance and option 719 Kilauea. The basic access version to the range, recognizable by the Snapper Rocks Metallic coloring and the black fork, is the most essential. Includes the stainless steel drain terminal and a passenger saddle with simple finishes. There Exclusive introduces a more sought -after aesthetic. Painted in Blue Metallic Racing, it adds details such as the engine spoiler, collectors and exhaust in dark finish and painted inserts in the saddle area. There are no variations in the cycling or mechanics, but the overall aspect is more finished.
There Performanceas the name suggests, is oriented to those who favor dynamic driving. In addition to coloring Lightwhite Unithis variant adopts sports suspensions, with golden fork and monoamortizer with red spring, lightened rims and a specific equipment that includes worked platforms, short levers, sports saddle and mirrors at the ends of the handlebar. On a technical level includes the Dynamic packagewith advanced driving mode, DSA electronic suspensions, ASA change and enhanced braking system. Mount first equipment sports tires. Who wants the maximum in terms of customization It can opt for the 719 Kilauea option, set -up characterized by the Blackstorm Metallic painting and a series of exclusive components of the Option 719 line: processed circles, identification badge, mirrors and specific platforms. The cycling approach remains that of the basic version, but the aesthetic aspect takes on a more distinctive and well -kept tone. The Weight in travel order is 239 kgwhile the aluminum tank has a capacity of 17 liters. The acceleration declared from 0 to 100 km/h is 3.39 seconds, while the maximum speed exceeds 200 km/h. The prices of the R 1300 r start from 17,100 euros620 euros more than 1250.
