2012 BMW R 1200 GS Powerful Engine

Like their predecessors, the new BMW R 1200 GS offer an almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past, the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new engine offering even more power and torque. In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations. Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled three-way catalytic converter.

Designed and built for the specifi c requirements of a grand touring enduro, Enduro ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment available also on the latest version of the R 1200 GS as an optional extra straight from the factory allows adjustment of the running gear under all kinds of running conditions and with virtually any load level, simply by pressing a button. An important feature is that Enduro ESA offers both an onroad and offroad mode within which the rider, choosing specifi c settings for the spring base and damping, is able to adjust the suspension even more precisely to specifi c needs and requirements.

As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front spring strut. When riding offroad, this ensures a far smoother ride without the wheel breaking through, and without the disadvantages otherwise experienced
onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.

The hand protectors available as special equipment for the R 1200 GS are fitted as standard straight from the factory on the R 1200 GS Adventure. In the process of technically upgrading the successful R 1200 GS models, the instrument cluster has received a new dial in new design. And last but not least, the windshield now comes with larger hand-bolts with even better grip for adjusting its position with greater ease.

As a genuine, fully-fl edged systems supplier, BMW Motorrad has developed a wide range of optional extras and special equipment for further customisation of the new R 1200 GS and. One particularly important new feature is the additional headlights in LED technology.
