Airboxer forever

An engine with loyal fans: the boxer. With the R 12 G/S, we have incorporated it into a contemporary framework concept. The basic structure consisting of the engine, single-piece tubular spaceframe with a bolted rear frame, flush suspension strut and redesigned engine peripheral equipment provides the basis for an enjoyable ride. With the three riding modes, RAIN, ROAD, and ENDURO, you can adapt your riding experience to suit your preferences. The typical boxer sound and 109 hp will transport you straight to adventure, with no diversions.

Expand your comfort zone

The equipment in the optional comfort package offers you outstanding support. With Shift Assistant Pro, you can enjoy a more dynamic yet comfortable ride, with no need to use the clutch for shifting gears. The Hill Start Control provides support for hill starts, and the electronic cruise control offers assistance on the road. The grip heating allows you to enjoy trips in colder regions in comfort.

As standard: ready for off-roading

The fully adjustable suspension with spring travel of 8.2”/7.8” is designed for off-road use. With a ground clearance of 9.4”, even larger obstacles pose no problem. The flat bench seat allows for freedom of movement when standing, while the tank geometry offers the perfect place to rest your knees when riding off-road.

Off-road upgrade: Enduro Package Pro

The R 12 G/S is the only BMW Motorrad bike to feature an 18” rear wheel. Off-road tires, enduro footrests, a large engine guard, 0.8” handlebar risers, hand protection and a longer side stand round out the package. The additional ENDURO PRO Riding Mode offers optimal off-road performance.
