THE NEW

BMW R 1200 GS ADVENTURE

UNSTOPPABLE

Nothing on earth comes between this bike and its destination. It is built without compromise to handle any type of road the planet can throw at it. One glance is enough to tell you this and one ride is enough to con rm it. The BMW R 1200 GS Adventure will excite you with its precise throttle response and superb traction, not to mention the added comfort and versatility of such unique features as the optional

Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment).

INTELLIGENT:

ENDURO ESA

To be truly UNSTOPPABLE, a bike must be able to perform on any terrain.

And that’s exactly what the new R 1200 GS Adventure can now do even better.

Thanks to the Enduro ESA option (a  rst in the industry), which brings all the bene  of BMW Motorrad’s intelligent ESA suspension system to this iconic motorcycle.

ts

The chassis can be set up for any riding condition and load on the  y, at the touch of a button, with dampening and preload/suspension height adjustments on both wheels.

As a result, the suspension has the long range to prevent bottoming out on rough ground, but still delivers optimum road-holding in everyday use. In short, it’s up for any challenge.

UNBEATABLE:

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

Being UNSTOPPABLE means being one of a kind. The short  rst gear option is exclusive to the R 1200 GS Adventure, and reduces the already-low creep speed by a further 10 per cent, something which is particularly useful over broken ground in tight spaces. Because control is every bit as important as power – especially in the sort of terrain that other bikes can’t even reach in the  rst place. Other optional extras include ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and TPC (Tire Pressure Control).
