HOT FOUR #1

THE OG ADVENTURER BMW R 1300 GS

The BMW R1300 GS is notably more compact and 12 kg lighter than its predecessor, the R 1250 GS, thanks to new sheet metal and a lighter engine. The bike also has a larger 1300cc boxer twin engine, delivering 145 hp and 149 Nm of peak torque. Equipped with a bi-directional quick shifter, BMW says the bike accelerates from 0-100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 225 kmph. All BMW R 1300 GS bikes sold in India will come standard with cross-spoked tubeless wheels.

Additionally, they will include the Comfort and Dynamic packages, featuring an electronic windscreen, bidirectional quickshifter, centre stand and Pro riding modes.

Furthermore, except for the base Light White variant, all models will also include the Touring package as standard. This package comprises pannier mounts, chromed exhaust header pipes, an adaptive headlight, knuckle-guard extenders, and mounting for a GPS device so you find your way home in style.

As hot as... leaving a trail of dust as you traverse through the Himalayas from 20,95,000/bmw-motorrad.in.
