BMW reveals the new R1300RS with more power, technology, and touring capability

BMW Motorrad has officially introduced the new R 1300 RS, and it's everything a sport-touring enthusiast could ask for—blending refined engineering, dynamic handling, and long-distance comfort into one sleek package.

This latest version of the RS brings more power than ever before, updated electronics, and even more touring potential. Let’s take a closer look at why this model is getting so much attention.

Performance That Moves You

At the core of the R 1300 RS is BMW’s most powerful boxer engine to date. The 1,300cc twin delivers a robust 145 horsepower and 149 Nm of torque. It’s not just numbers—it’s real-world performance. Smooth, punchy acceleration makes it equally at home in tight corners and on wide-open highways. The power boost isn’t just for thrills, though. It adds confidence during overtakes and makes longer hauls feel effortless. This is the kind of performance that defines a premium sport-touring machine.

New Tech, Smarter Ride

BMW loaded the R 1300 RS with cutting-edge rider aids and smart systems. Dynamic Suspension Adjustment (DSA) is now standard, adapting both damping and spring rate in real time. It means a better ride, no matter the road surface. There’s also a full-color TFT display, intuitive ride modes, and advanced safety features like cornering ABS and dynamic traction control—all designed to keep riders engaged and in control.

Ergonomics Reimagined

This version of the RS comes with a more forward-leaning riding position. The handlebars are positioned lower, and the footpegs sit slightly rearward. The result? A sportier feel without sacrificing comfort. And for riders who prefer a more upright ride, optional comfort handlebars are available. Whether you're tackling twisty backroads or settling in for a cross-country trip, the R 1300 RS is built to keep you comfortable and connected to the road.

Touring Features That Matter

The R 1300 RS may have sporty DNA, but it was born for the long haul. Optional side cases and a top box integrate seamlessly with the bike’s central locking system. The luggage is spacious, secure, and weather-resistant—perfect for weekend escapes or multi-day journeys. Pair that with cruise control, heated grips, and a wind-tunnel-tested fairing, and you’ve got a bike ready to chew up miles in style.
