2026 R 1300 RS

Description

The R 1300 RS is a high-performance marathon runner that packs a boxer punch. Ready for any sporty marathon, and the adrenaline-charged sprints in between. It looks extremely buff and radiates a captivating levity. With this bike, you have access to a whole load of technology for a fun and sporty ride – be it alone or with a passenger, or with or without luggage. Exactly as you want it, and always following the motto #NeverStopChallenging.


High-end features for high performance

Kit your bike out with technical finesse, leaving you to focus on the ride. The optional Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) can do some of the work for you, automatically taking over the tasks of clutch operation and gear-shifting. Among other features, the available Riding Assistant offers forward collision warning, and adaptive distance control (ACC) for a more fun ride.

Launch your own sport event

The engine has truly earned its sporty moniker: boxer. Packing a unique punch, it is made for a sporty ride, chasing curves and straight sections. It allows for a relaxed ride with minimal gear-shifting over long distances, as well as offering a spontaneous kick whenever you fancy it. It’s always ready to sprint, offering you 145 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque. Its broad rotational speed range allows for powerful torque build-up, even at low rotational speeds.

An athlete with style

A sporty street icon with a powerful boxer engine. The four model variants emphasize different facets of the R 1300 RS. The trim panel sections offer space for style-defining design elements. They all have the iconic BMW Splitface in common.

A boxer at its best

The buff total package: This athlete is ready for high speeds and adrenaline-charged marathon tours. The sleek front area with style-defining fairing, aggressive-looking headlights and the 2-tone windscreen – everything is designed for high performance. You can enjoy the power of the boxer on the dynamically shaped seat. Start your sporty tour and enjoy the sound from the dual-branch rear silencer across every mile.

For all those who want it all

The R 1300 RS comes with a comprehensive range of equipment as standard. With our cleverly composed optional equipment packages, you can tailor the sport tourer to precisely meet your own personal preferences. Show off your sporty side with the dynamics package.
