ROAD / SPORT
For more than 40 years , the abbreviation " RS " has stood for sports touring par excellence in conjunction with the BMW boxer engine . The R 1250 RS is now even more innovative and sophisticated and delivers the ultimate sporty , dynamic touring experience .
In conjunction with the boxer engine , the legendary BMW Motorrad abbreviation " RS " is synonymous in the world of sport touring with sporty , dynamic riding pleasure on country roads and at the same time superior comfort on extended tours . The BMW RS has always been a master of sporty riding , leaning into bends and long-distance stages for two and with holiday luggage . To ensure that this remains the case in the future , BMW Motorrad has given the new R 1250 RS some new standard features and optional extras - to make sportstouring even more dynamic and relaxed .
As before , the legendary 2-cylinder boxer engine provides powerful propulsion . It still has an engine capacity of 1,254 cm3 and , even in the current EU5 registration , generates 100 kW ( 136 hp ). Thanks to BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift on the intake side , it delivers beefy power across the entire speed range , extremely smooth and quiet running and outstanding fuel consumption and emission values .
Dynamic Traction Control ( DTC ) and new " ECO " driving mode as standard . Riding Modes Pro with riding mode preselection and engine drag torque control ( MSR ) as optional equipment .
Here , the standard Automatic Stability Control DTC ensures a high level of riding safety due to excellent traction . The new standard " ECO " riding mode helps the rider to travel as fuel-efficiently as possible .
The ECO riding mode allows the rider to use the innovative BMW Motorrad ShiftCam engine technology primarily in such a way to achieve the maximum range . In ECO mode , the rider is encouraged to ride as fuelefficiently as possible with a soft throttle curve and moderate engine torque limitation . In ECO mode , the TFT colour display provides an efficiency display in the upper status line . If you want maximum performance - for example for overtaking with a heavy load or riding uphill - the ride mode button can be used to quickly and easily switch to a different ride mode .
The new R 1250 RS Adventure can be equipped with the “ Pro riding modes ” option as optional equipment ex works . Among other things , it provides additional , individually configurable riding modes . By using the riding mode preselection function , the rider can individually set riding modes on the riding mode button . The engine drag torque control ( MSR ) is another new component of the Pro riding mode . It can be used to safely avoid unstable riding conditions that can occur during coasting or downshifting due to excessive brake slip at the rear wheel .
BMW Integral ABS Pro ( part integral ) and Dynamic Brake Control ( DBC ) as standard .
