R 1250 RS je zdaj še bolj inovativen in prefinjen ter zagotavlja ultimativno športno in dinamično izkušnjo potovanja.
Dodatne informacije so na voljo spodaj in v priponki v angleščini.
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
sports-touring 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
fuel-efficiently 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.
As a popular sports tourer, the R 1250 RS in its latest edition
features BMW Integral ABS Pro as standard. This is a braking system,
which offers even more safety when braking - even when leaning into
bends - and thinks even further ahead, so to speak. As the riding mode
concept continues to expand, more new functions will also be added.
For example, the ABS control characteristic will be adapted further to
the respective riding mode. As part of the "Riding Modes
Pro" option, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) additionally supports
the rider during emergency braking manoeuvres. DBC increases safety
when braking, even in difficult situations, by avoiding unintentional
throttle activation. By means of intervention in the engine control,
drive torque is reduced during braking so as to make full use of the
braking power at the rear wheel. This keeps the motorcycle stable and
shortens the braking distance.
TFT colour display with “Sport” Core Screen, redesigned LED
indicators and iconic daytime running light as standard.
As before, the new R 1250 RS equipped with a TFT colour display
featuring integrated arrow navigation and extensive connectivity.
Excellent readability, clear menu navigation and a highly integrated
operating concept place it at the top of the production motorbike
world. The rider can choose between customised screen displays for
various purposes. This also includes the "Sport” Core Screen,
which provides real-time information about the current and maximum
lean angle as well as control interventions - such as ABS Pro or DTC.
New standard features include redesigned LED tun indicators (also for
the USA) and the iconic daytime running light (not permitted in all
countries; without daytime running light function, the light icon is
designed as a parking light).
USB socket and Intelligent Emergency Call as standard. Seat
heating for rider and pillion and tube handlebars to make touring
even more pleasurable and dynamic available as options.
The new BMW R 1250 RS offers two different sockets as standard. The
previous 12-volt on-board power socket plus an additional USB-A socket
with a 5-volt power supply. This most widely used type of USB socket
with newly developed charging electronics allows you to charge a
smartphone while riding by connecting a cable adapter. Up to 2,400 mA
charging current is available, enabling fast charging depending on the
type of smartphone used. The Intelligent Emergency Call is also a
standard feature (eCall; not available in all countries) for providing
rapid assistance in emergencies.
A seat heating system for rider and pillion passenger as an
optional extra ex works also significantly increases comfort when
temperatures are low. Heated seats are available in combination with
two individual seats and are offered exclusively in combination with
heated grips. A new, convenient operating concept has been developed
for the rider's seat with five heating levels. The heated grips
settings - in combination with the seat heating featuring five instead
of two heating levels - are operated via a menu. The pillion seat
heating has two heating levels and is operated by a toggle switch at
the bottom left of the rear frame.
Tube handlebars are now available as a new optional extra ex
works and also as an original BMW Motorrad accessory. The tube
handlebars are slightly wider and higher than the standard handlebar
stubs and also less swept. This means that in addition to the various
rider seats available as optional equipment or original BMW Motorrad
accessories, the handlebar ergonomics of the R 1250 RS can now also be
individually adapted to achieve an even more relaxed and upright
seating position.
Sport touring in style: The new R 1250 R features attractive
base paintwork as well as the two model variants Triple Black and
Sport. New solo rear special equipment.
In the basic variant, the new BMW R 1250 RS highlights its advanced
sport touring qualities in Icegrey non-metallic in conjunction with a
black frame. With the Triple Black Sport Model available optionally ex
works, the customer can choose from two particularly expressive colour concepts.
Sport model variant:
Lightwhite non-metallic/Racingblue metallic/Racingred body finish,
Lightwhite non-metallic frame, gold front/rear brake callipers gold,
blue front spoiler, tinted windshield (not for USA), solo rear
(alternatively pillion package).
Triple Black model variant:
Blackstorm metallic body colour, agate grey frame, gold front/rear
brake callipers, stainless steel engine spoiler, Pure tank trim, solo
rear (alternatively pillion package).
The new solo rear optional feature underlines the sporty style
of the new R 1250 RS makes it look particularly light and dynamic. The
pillion seat is replaced with a painted plastic cover and the pillion
footrests and pillion handles are removed.
If you want to keep the R 1250 RS fully suitable for pillion
use, the pillion package is available as an alternative package within
the model variants. It contains all the components that are eliminated
by the solo rear.
