Power and Performance to Conquer Any Terrain

The BMW R1250 GS is built to handle any challenge that comes your way. It’s powered by a 1,254cc flat-twin engine with 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm. This gives the bike impressive power and acceleration, ensuring you can tackle everything from high-speed highways to steep mountain trails. The engine also features BMW’s ShiftCam technology, which optimises performance at both low and high speeds. Whether you’re navigating tight city corners or cruising along open roads, the R1250 GS provides smooth and reliable power.

Its six-speed transmission ensures precise gear shifts, giving you control in all situations. The bike’s shaft drive system further enhances reliability by reducing maintenance, so you can focus on the road ahead instead of worrying about upkeep. Whether you’re riding for a few hours or embarking on a multi-day journey, the R1250 GS offers a seamless and powerful experience.

Comfort and Handling for the Long Haul

Comfort is key for long-distance rides, and the BMW R1250 GS excels in this area. Its ergonomically designed seat, adjustable from 850mm to 870mm, allows you to ride in comfort for hours on end. The bike’s Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension work together to provide a smooth ride, even on uneven surfaces. This is especially important when exploring South Africa’s varied landscapes, from bumpy dirt roads to paved coastal highways.

In addition, the R1250 GS features dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), which automatically adjusts the suspension based on road conditions and your riding style. This ensures that the bike remains stable and comfortable, no matter where your adventure takes you. The bike’s low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution further enhance handling, allowing you to take tight turns and steep inclines with ease.

For added convenience, the R1250 GS comes with an electronically adjustable windscreen, which can be adjusted to reduce wind buffeting, making long rides more comfortable. Plus, the heated grips ensure that you can ride comfortably even in colder conditions.

Advanced Technology for a Superior Ride

The BMW R1250 GS is packed with technology to enhance your ride. It features multiple riding modes, including Rain, Road, and Dynamic, allowing you to adjust the bike’s settings to match the terrain and weather conditions. This means that whether you’re riding through a sudden Cape Town downpour or cruising under the clear skies of the Karoo, the R1250 GS delivers optimal performance.

The bike also includes ABS Pro and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), which provide greater stability and safety when cornering or riding on slippery surfaces. With these systems in place, you can confidently tackle any challenge the road throws your way.

The 6.5-inch TFT display keeps you connected by showing all essential ride information, including speed, navigation, and trip data. It’s easy to read, even in bright sunlight, so you can keep your focus on the road. The R1250 GS also comes with BMW Motorrad Connectivity, which allows you to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth for access to calls, messages, and music directly from the display.

Built for Adventure in South Africa

South Africa’s diverse landscapes offer a range of riding conditions, from smooth coastal roads to rocky mountain passes. The BMW R1250 GS is engineered to handle it all. Its 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, paired with long-travel suspension, provide excellent stability on rough terrain. The bike’s aluminium bash plate and engine protection bars ensure durability, protecting critical components from damage when riding over rocks and debris.

The R1250 GS is designed for adventure riders who want to push boundaries. Whether you’re exploring the winding roads of the Garden Route or venturing into the rugged terrain of the Cederberg, this bike has the power, comfort, and reliability to get you there and back safely.
