To start, the Sport engine protection bar was designed to protect the new Boxer 1300 engine in case of rollover or skidding. It absorbs the impact and sliding forces, ensuring at the same time that the bike has enough lean angle to tackle curves vigorously. However, the Classic engine guard not only protects the engine but also the fairings, frame, and radiator, also having the option of a reinforcement support for even greater protection.
Next, the Expedition was specifically designed for riders who want to maximize their bike’s performance off-road. According to Touratech, the Expedition has been proven over millions of kilometers on previous models and is now optimized specifically for the R 1300 GS. It is made of four-millimeter thick aluminum sheet, ensuring that even the roughest terrain will not cause any damage to the vulnerable underside of the engine.
With the protective accessories in place, let’s look at the luggage options that Touratech has to offer for the BMW R 1300 GS. To start, the brand offers a stainless steel luggage rack and points out that BMW does not offer one as standard. The design features Touratech’s patented attachment elements, as well as 3D fittings for increased durability and reduced weight. It maintains the sleek profile of the bike and is fully compatible with a selection of panniers. Speaking of panniers, Touratech offers aluminum panniers in various sizes and capacities, as well as the Zega top case and luggage rack.
As for availability, all Touratech accessories for the new BMW R 1300 GS are now available through the brand’s official website. Touratech states that the product catalog for the new GS will only grow as they develop more solutions for the ever-changing needs of ADV enthusiasts. That being said, for exact pricing information, visit the official Touratech website.
