R 1250 GS

THE NEW BMW R 1250 GS.
With Even More Drive for Adventure
The BMW R 1250 GS - Concentrated performance meets impressive efficiency. Experience the superior benefits of GS boxers, with the all new BMW ShiftCam engine. The variable camshaft ensures optimised power delivery - in both high and low engine speed ranges. Whether in the city, on the motorway or of course, off-road - every metre gives you more freedom and opens endless possibilities for your next adventure.
Leave others in the dust as you experience powerful efficiency and next level performance, all whilst enjoying the benefits of class-leading connectivity and functionality.
Performance, efficiency, control.
The twin-cylinder boxer engine of the new R 1250 GS fascinates in its diversity right from the very first moment. Its character is unmistakeable - in every engine speed range. It offers you increased performance and smooth running at low speeds at the same time. The BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control ensures more powerful torque curve over the entire engine speed range, providing greater control in every riding situation. Giving you power whenever you need it. More cubic capacity, more power - with higher efficiency. The strong performance with fewer gear changes gives you sovereignty. In short: You feel the boxer's energy even more directly.
Dynamic Brake Control.
DBC supports you in emergency braking by counteracting the often unwanted gas actuation in such an extreme situation. The intervention in the engine control reduces the engine torque. At the same time, the braking power is increased at the rear wheel. The result: more safety through the best possible use of the braking capacity to stabilize your bike and shorten the stopping distance.

Connectivity with colour display as standard.
The 6.5-inch TFT colour display shows information such as speed and rpm, navigation, telephony, media and additional vehicle information. When darkness sets in or when riding through tunnels, the lighting and colour intensity of the display are automatically adjusted. Even in strong sunlight, all of the information is very easy to read.
Hill Start Controll HSC as standard.
The standard Hill Start Controll HSC makes starting on slopes easier. With the help of the handbrake lever, the rear brake can be easily applied. When riding off, the brake is released automatically.
Full LED headlights as standard.
Both in low-beam and high-beam lighting, the illumination is wider and more homogeneous than conventional lights. In addition, the light is whiter, making contours clearer and significantly increasing passive safety.
