We held all things with four bikes from BMW, but the motorcycle division is also busy. The new R 1300 R contains the title of the most powerful serial BMW boxer. The 1,300 cm3 engine is now rated with 145 hp and 149 Nm, which offers it an advantage of 9 hp and 6 nm above the old bike.
The new R 1300 R has more than its improved two -cylinder engine. Do you see this 17-inch cast aluminum wheels? They are more than 1.4 kilograms lighter. The seat, the handlebars and the footrests were adapted for a more comfortable position with or without a passenger. It may not look like this, but the chassis is a completely new development. It is stiffer than before and uses a rear frame of the stamp box instead of pipe steel.
By default, BMW motorcycle fits with an octagonal headlight with a full increase in the bike. However, you can pay for additional adaptive curve function. Speaking of optional delicacies, the R 1300 R can be ordered with active speed control and warning from the front collision. Since the adaptation of the electronic dynamic suspension is added, you will receive a bike with the “World Series Production Motorcycle Telescopic Fork with adjustable spring rate”.
The newly designed chassis has made the R 1300 R more practical than its predecessor. Improved packaging brings with it a larger luggage volume with the new case system and the traphill. These are available as the original accessories from BMW Motorrad and have a capacity of 26 and 29 liters. Both have interior lighting, and the one on the left has a USB-C charging connection. Since you are both electrified, you can unlock them with the central locking system of the bicycle. The new tank bag is now a struggle and attaches to the bike with a tanking.
BMW Motorrad hopes that the new R 1300 R will improve the company’s sales performance in 2025. In the first quarter of the year, deliveries decreased by 3.9% to 44,609 units.
