Features

Features

  • BUILT FOR TOURING: Anticipation and excitement are the most beautiful companions on any tour. With the start of your R 1250 RT, you can feel the superior qualities of the Twin-cylinder Boxer engine. Its performance and enhancement in character of running fascinate across the entire power band. The ‘BMW ShiftCam’ variable camshaft control ensures greater torque across the entire power band and boosts your control. Thanks to a large displacement and more power with more efficiency, your riding pleasure intensifies mile upon mile. The high torque curve and irresistible power with fewer gear changes quickly become indispensable companions.
  • DYNAMIC ESA OF THE LATEST GENERATION: Dynamic ESA ensures more stable and safer ride characteristics. The system automatically regulates the damping and spring preload of the struts depending on riding conditions and load and offers the highest level of comfort and traction on all surfaces, even when cornering.
  • KEYLESS RIDE: Thanks to Keyless Ride, you no longer have to spend time looking for your keys before you set off. All you need to do is carry your key in your pocket in order to unlock and start up your motorcycle.
  • BMW SHIFTCAM: Shows what's inside: the new twin-cylinder boxer engine with variable camshaft control.

  • GEAR SHIFT ASSIST PRO: Gear Shift Assist Pro is a feature known and loved by racers, allowing riders to upshift and downshift without pulling the clutch lever.
