The sound of your freedom
More versatile than ever
To the top with ease
Authentic, easy, simple, and right on the money. In the basic version with the dynamic GS Flyline, sharp lines and an athletic look, we concentrate on the essentials: Your experience.
Be unmistakable
The scaled-back design, the unique body, the light aluminium tank – everything works together in an efficient and well-integrated manner. The subframe made from cast aluminium serves as the basis for endless possibilities. Together with the main frame, the standard cast wheels and the powertrain in Avus black provide a darker border to the lower section, contrasted against the lighter front section of the body. The small, compact front offers an excellent view of the road. There is a clear break from tradition in the design with the new symmetrical light icon – a distinctive face.
For even more discerning riders
Do you expect more as a matter of principle? That’s a good way to be. Explore the options for individualisation. You can find the right products to meet your needs in the comprehensive range of optional equipment and the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories range. Alternatively, you can create a motorcycle with its own unique character from the outset: the GS Trophy for off-road terrain, the Triple Black offering the highest level of comfort and all-rounder qualities, or the Tramuntana for unadulterated exclusivity.
The performer
Want to achieve more even more quickly? No problem. This recommended equipment allows you to get more out of your motorcycle. Above all, a more enjoyable ride – the dynamics package makes this possible. However, you can also enjoy an upgrade in aspects of safety and touring comfort. Explore our recommendations or configure your own version.
The dynamics package allows you to exploit the full potential of the sporty vehicle. Thanks to the shift assistant Pro and the Pro riding modes, every ride can be a highlight in driving dynamics with individual configuration options. The sports brake and the electronic suspension (DSA) serve to ensure optimal handling and safety.
Headlight Pro impresses riders with an improved view and a fitting aesthetic. The driving lights, high-beam headlights and cornering light are designed as an LED matrix. They offer modern lighting functions. This allows riders to illuminate the road in a way that best suits the driving situation.
The expanded hand protection provides better protection against the wind and weather conditions for your hands and forearms. As such, you will not only enjoy a more comfortable ride, you will also be safer thanks to the increased protection against disruptive influences.
Luggage can be safely lashed to the luggage plate made from impact-resistant plastic. The plate uses the attachment element for the passenger seat and is easy to secure. In combination with the Vario cases, this creates a wide and even load platform. It can carry a payload of 5 kg, and 20 kg of luggage can be secured to the sides.
