BMW fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the latest adventure bike from the Bavarian manufacturer: the R1300 GS Adventure will be unveiled on Friday, July 5, at 16:00 (CEST time).
In an announcement that will be broadcast live on the brand’s digital channels as part of the BMW Motorrad Days, this variant of the new R1300 – set to be launched in a few months – will be revealed.
The bike comes with several new features, such as the new Automated Shift Assist (ASA) transmission assistant – which operates similarly to Honda’s well-known DCT system, allowing pre-defined gear changes based on the type of riding. There is a six-speed gearbox.

A top speed of over 220 km/h is expected (5 km/h less than the regular version of the R1300 GS). The 1,300 cubic centimeter boxer engine will have a maximum power of 143 hp, reached at 7,750 RPM. The bike is also more compact, both in length and wheelbase.
