The new GS models set the benchmark yet higher in delivering distinctive, powerful, and reliable propulsion.
The dual sport bikes are equipped with the two-cylinder boxer engine made legendary by its predecessors, which ensures a superior and cultivated ride that is enhanced further by numerous new features.
The new models are highlighted with X-shaped light icons on the new headlights, visible with side light switched on.
Complementing this are the LED daytime running light, cruising light, chrome exhaust system, cross spoke wheels, along with the multifunctional rear indicator lights – all of which are now standard.
Exclusive to the R 1250 GS Adventure are the auxiliary headlights and suitcase holder preparation for aluminium panniers and top box.
The models also come equipped with newly developed adaptive headlights with a swivel function, allowing the low-beam of the full-LED headlights to adjust according to the curves of the road depending on inclined position.
Powering the motorcycles is a 1,254cc, two-cylinder boxer engine with 136hp at 7,750rpm and maximum torque of 143Nm at 6,250rpm that is the most powerful BMW boxer engine in series production.
With BMW ShiftCam technology, which allows for varying valve control timing and valve lift on the intake side, the engine provides superior power across the entire speed range while remaining extremely smooth and quiet when running.
Transmission and coupling are integrated into the engine housing of the boxer engine, resulting in greater weight balance in a space- and weight-saving design.
Also included are the BMW Gear Shift Assistant Pro, anti-hopping mechanism for the clutch and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC).
Additionally, the electronic cruise control equips the new models to offer convenience for long-distance riding.
The new BMW Integral ABS Pro also comes as standard – optimised for both on and off-road, while also adapted to the various riding modes.
The multifunctional instrument cluster with 6.5-inch full-colour TFT display can be used in combination with integrated operation via the standard BMW Motorrad multi-controller to quickly access vehicle and connectivity functions.
Media playback and telephone functions are available to ensure focus on the road, while navigation provides an added convenience without additional navigational equipment.
Vehicle-integrated connectivity is offered via the BMW Motorrad Connected app, complemented by a 12 V on-board socket and a 5 V USB-A socket – enabling quick charging while riding.
For added convenience, the Keyless Ride feature is standard.
With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the R 1250 GS and the R 150 GS Adventure start from RM1,460 and RM1,590 per month, respectively based on balloon financing estimates of an 80% loan on a 4-year tenure.
