1,300 cc adventure bike from BMW to be launched on September 28

News about BMW Motorrad updating the GS/GS Adventure with a 1,300cc engine has already been around for a few years now. This year, BMW Motorrad will unveil the latest version of the bike model that started the adventure bike segment with the introduction of the R 80 GS, 43 years ago.

R 1300 GS/GSA teased

In a recent social media post by BMW Motorrad, the upcoming R 1300 GS/GS Adventure is teased ahead of its September 28^th launch. While the bike on the photo is almost completely covered by the splash of water, the silhouette clearly resembles the traditional beak and lines of the current R 1250 GS/GSA.

Also, there seems to be no change in the wheel size as the teaser photo shows a 19” front and 17” rear wheel. As for the engine, the upcoming R 1300 GS/GSA will still utilize BMW’s traditional boxer twin engine, with a reported power output of close to 200 Ps.

As the trend of integrating a crash avoidance system on adventure bikes is becoming the norm, we can expect that the new R 1300 GS/GSA will also have a similar radar technology built-in as standard.
