About
The BMW R 1300 GS is the latest iteration of BMWs legendary adventure bike series, and it brings a host of improvements and new features to the table. Powered by a new 1300cc boxer-twin engine, this bike delivers 143.5 bhp and 149 Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful adventure bikes in its class. The engine features a wider bore and shorter stroke, along with a higher compression ratio, which enhances its performance and responsiveness. The bike is 12 kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to a revised chassis and the relocation of the gearbox to below the engine, which improves mass centralization.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The BMW R 1300 GS is a significant evolution of the iconic GS series, and my experience with it has been nothing short of impressive. The new 1300cc boxer-twin engine is a powerhouse, delivering 143.5 bhp and 149 Nm of torque, which translates into brisk acceleration and a delightful wave of torque across the rev range. Despite the higher compression ratio, the engine remains smooth and responsive, even at low revs. The chassis and suspension have been overhauled, making the bike feel lighter, more agile, and precise in handling. However, this newfound sportiness comes at the cost of some of the old GSs character the bike now feels more clinical and less quirky. For shorter riders, the height and heft of the bike can be intimidating, but the adaptive seat height feature helps in day-to-day use. Overall, the R 1300 GS is a big step up from its predecessor, offering a blend of performance, technology, and usability that makes it a compelling choice for adventure riders.
Price
The pricing for the BMW R 1300 GS in India is expected to be premium, given the significant upgrades and new features. While BMW has not officially announced the prices, it is reasonable to assume a hike of around 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh over the outgoing R 1250 GS. This would put the ex-showroom price in the range of approximately 22 lakh to 24 lakh, depending on the variant and any additional features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, could range from 26 lakh to 30 lakh. This premium pricing reflects the enhanced performance, advanced technology, and improved build quality of the R 1300 GS, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a top-tier adventure bike.
BMW R1300GS on road price is Rs 24.11 lakh in Delhi, Rs 24.93 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 24.41 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 24.72 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest BMW dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.
Latest Updates
Friday, 11 October 2024 10:14 AM The 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure has been unveiled with several significant updates, including a completely redesigned chassis, enhanced BMW ShiftCam technology, and improved ergonomics. The new model boasts a 1,300cc liquid-air cooled boxer engine producing 145 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful BMW boxer engine to date. Additional features include Automated Shift Assistant, electronic adjustable screen, and radar adaptive cruise control. I believe these upgrades will make the R 1300 GS Adventure a top choice for long-distance adventurers.
Friday, 26 July 2024 02:36 AM BMW Motorrad has introduced the R 1300 GS with a new engine and chassis design, aiming to enhance both on-road and off-road performance.

The design includes a more compact and manageable frame, making it easier to handle, especially during slow-speed maneuvers. I think this redesign will appeal to a wider range of riders.

The bikes new electronically adjustable screen and heated seats and grips contribute to its comfort during long rides.

Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 08:41 AM The mileage of the BMW R 1300 GS in India is a crucial factor for long-distance riders. While the bikes performance is undoubtedly impressive, its fuel efficiency is also noteworthy. With a larger 30-liter fuel tank, the R 1300 GS can cover over 500-600 kilometers in a day without needing a refill, which is ideal for long-distance touring. The actual mileage will depend on riding conditions, but given the bikes efficient engine and gearing, one can expect a mileage of around 15-20 kml in mixed riding conditions.
