Features

Everything you need to set off As sporty as it gets, or with optimised comfort for longer trips: The equipment for the R 1300 RS leaves nothing to be desired. The Performance model variant is designed for a dynamic riding style with its sport suspension, milled and adjustable footrest system, DTC-Shift and sport tyres. If you would prefer to prioritise touring capabilities, you can also opt for seat heating, the Riding Assistant, windscreens of various heights, and numerous luggage options.

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 optional Riding Assistant offers radar sensors at the rear for increased safety, 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 149 Nm of torque. Its broad rotational speed range allows for powerful torque build-up, even at low rotational speeds.

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.

Traction under control: DTC-Shift

With DTC-Shift, you can set the level of traction control you want and decide for yourself how long of a black mark you want to leave when accelerating out of a bend.

True freedom: Sport suspension

The Performance model variant features Sport suspension with a longer suspension fork and longer damper: for tighter damping and increased lean angle freedom.

Lighting the way: the headlight The dual-branch headlight has an aggressive look thanks to its sleek shape. Headlight Pro with the daytime riding lights icon and adaptive headlight ensure optimal illumination of the road.

Detail-obsessed: Seat insert With the Triple Black, Exclusive, Performance and Option 719 Cuyamaca model variants, the seat insert is painted in the same colour as the vehicle body, creating an exclusive highlight.

Variable and sporty: the rear The Sport rear features a rear light that has been cleverly integrated into the grab handles. The very short number plate carrier rounds out the athletic look of the rear end.

Premium option: Design wheels Highlight the dynamic side of the R 1300 RS: The optional design option wheels help you to bring an exclusive yet sporty look to the streets.

High-quality detail: Footrest system The adjustable milled footrest system highlights the production quality of the R 1300 RS Performance. There are four levels that allow you to precisely adapt it to suit your dynamic riding style.

Stylish and practical: the cases Long tours can be a breeze with the spacious, stable and electrified cases that are available as optional accessories. The design and colour scheme are perfectly matched to the dynamic look of the bike.
