BMW R 1300 GS (2023+): the highest standard in adventure touring!
Looking for carbon accessories for your BMW R 1300 GS? You’re not alone: the latest generation of BMW’s iconic all-road bike is more powerful, lighter, and technologically advanced than ever – making it the perfect platform for customization. In this blog, we dive into the bike’s features, customization options, and the extensive range of Ilmberger carbon parts for the R 1300 GS.
A completely redesigned R 1300 GS
The BMW R 1300 GS (2023+) builds on decades of GS experience but takes a new technical direction. With a completely newly developed 1300cc boxer engine, the bike delivers 145 hp and 149 Nm – more than its predecessor. At the same time, weight has dropped by 12 kg thanks to a new steel main frame and aluminum subframe. The balance between power and control is better than ever.
The chassis features BMW’s latest Evo Telelever and Evo Paralever for more precision, stiffness, and comfort. Combined with Dynamic ESA Pro (optional), the suspension automatically adapts to riding style, load, and terrain. Riding the R 1300 GS feels familiar yet surprisingly direct.
Onboard technology
The GS comes standard with a large TFT display, various riding modes (Rain, Road, Eco), and extensive electronic aids such as traction control, ABS Pro, hill start control, and MSR (engine drag torque control). With the optional Riding Assistant package, you also get ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), Lane Change Warning, and Front Collision Warning.
