The hardcore version of the R 1300 GS is also the first BMW product to debut the brand’s automatic transmission system.

After the recent launch of the R 1300 GS in India, BMW Motorrad has now globally unveiled its more hardcore version – the R 1300 GS Adventure. 

Based on the same new platform with the compact engine that already underpins the current-gen R 1300 GS, with the R 1300 GS Adventure, BMW takes matters a notch up not just with that new bulky design, but also with more advanced features and hardware components. These thorough redesigns are aimed at enhancing its long-distance capabilities.

2024 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure: Engine

At the heart of the R 1300 GS is the same new redesigned twin-cylinder boxer engine that we experienced in the Himalayas a few months ago. This new mill is more compact than before which BMW engineers achieved by repositioning the transmission box and the camshaft drive under the engine. The power output remains the same as the R 1300 GS  – 145 bhp and 149 Nm. But one of the biggest changes introduced with this powertrain is the integration of an automatic transmission system, making it the first BMW bike to gain so. In addition to that, BMW Motorrad has also equipped a new knock sensor system that enhances the bike's travel suitability across various conditions.
