The first accessory products for the brand new BMW R 1300 GS are already available from Touratech. And the range continues to grow rapidly!
No sooner were the first demonstrators at the BMW Motorrad dealers’ than the first selection of accessories for customising the BMW R 1300 GS were available from Touratech. This makes it possible for freshly minted owners of the new GS to fully exploit the potential of their 1300 from the very beginning. The requirements of tour riders were taken into account in the initial edition of the range, as were the wishes of offroad-oriented GS riders.
Protectors for travel and offroad use
When it comes to protection, the completely new engine crash bar “Sport”, catches the eye. The contour of this engine crash bar is matched 100 per cent to the valve cover of the 1300 Boxer. Should your machine tip over, the bar absorbs the resulting forces and distributes them neatly. In an emergency, the slider is supported flat against the valve cover. Thanks to the line of the elegant tubular construction, which is nestled closely to the engine, banking freedom is fully maintained. The new concept of the engine crash bar “Sport” reflects the perfect synthesis of functionality and design. Of course, there is also the classic engine crash bar for the R 1300 GS, which encloses the two cylinders like a cage. The combination of 25 x 2 mm stainless steel tubes and three-millimetre thick, three-dimensionally shaped stainless steel sheets combines maximum strength with an unrivalled low weight – and enormous protection.
If you opt for this product from the BMW accessories range, you benefit from the reinforcement strut for the original BMW engine crash bar, a valuable addition that significantly improves the protective effect. The bodywork and radiator are reliably protected from crash damage by the fairing crash bar, which is also made of stainless steel tubing. High protection and a spectacular look are combined in the headlight guard with quick-release fastener made of stainless steel, which reflects the x-shaped arrangement of the LEDs in its eye-catching form. Already proven over millions of kilometres of track on the predecessor models, the engine guard “Expedition” made of folded and welded four millimetre thick aluminium sheet is also available for the R 1300 GS.
Customised luggage systems
Since BMW offers no factory-supplied rack for aluminium pannier systems for the R 1300 GS, the Touratech stainless steel pannier rack is an absolute must for travellers. The proven basic construction made of 18 x 2-millimetre stainless steel tube has undergone major further development especially for the new GS. Completely new, patented connecting elements and 3D lugs made of three-dimensionally shaped, three-millimetre-thick stainless steel offer greater rigidity than classic designs as well as reducing the weight. In addition, the rack is only 50 centimetres wide, which means that the rear of the GS remains slim and manageable even with bulky panniers. The rack can be optionally equipped with aluminium panniers from the ZEGA Evo, ZEGA Pro or ZEGA Mundo series, each in different sizes and finishes.
For mounting a ZEGA top case or lashing a luggage roll, Touratech offers the ZEGA top case rack/ luggage rack made of electropolished stainless steel. The inner pockets for the original BMW Vario panniers or the Vario topcase are a practical and stylish addition, creating order in your pannier and making it easier to transport luggage to your hotel room.
These and numerous other Touratech parts for the BMW R 1300 GS are now available in our webshop. And it pays to keep an eye out: the range is being expanded continuously..
