ACE 2024: The new BMW Motorrad R 1300 GS – the perfect two-wheel adventure-touring motorcycle

The paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2024 – co-sponsored by Carro – takes place this October 26-27 at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC), and if you’re shopping for a new car, this is the place to be, because there’ll be no shortage of exceptional year-end promotions and offers on a wide range of models.

For the adventure rider, Auto Bavaria is showcasing the BMW Motorrad R 1300 GS at ACE 2024. A brand new evolution of the legendary GS adventure-touring motorcycle. Equally capable on rugged terrain and on the open road, the R 1300 GS comes with an all-new 1,300 cc boxer twin engine.

Despite being physically smaller than the previous generation ‘R’ series boxer engine, the R 1300 GS’ new two-cylinder produces 145 hp at 7,750 rpm with a maximum torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The new six-speed gearbox powers the drive shaft as is traditional for GS bikes, with Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) available as an extra-cost option.

The R 1300 GS comes loaded with all the latest electronic riding aids, including Dynamic Traction Control and Cornering ABS. Included in the riding aids are Engine drag torque control (MSR), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Hill Start Control (HSC).

Necessary riding information is displayed on the TFT-LCD screen with LED lighting used throughout, including the new design matrix headlights and front turn signals incorporated into the hand guards while rear turn signals are integrated into the tail light.

With an extensive list of optional equipment including Driving Modes Pro with additional riding modes, the R 1300 GS positions itself at the forefront of electronic riding aids. Selecting the ‘Riding Assistant’ option gives Active Cruise Control (ACC), Front Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Change Warning and the new Rear End Collision Warning (RECW). The RECW system signals an impending rear end collision to following traffic by flashing the hazard warning lights with a higher frequency.

Suspension is similarly sophisticated with Dynamic Suspension Adjustment (DSA), available as an option that gives the R 1300 GS automatic adjustment of suspension damping and spring rate. There is also Adaptive vehicle height control with fully automatic adjustment of the vehicle height to suit the operating conditions, lowering the R 1300 GS by 30 mm when stationary and at low speeds.

Owning the BMW R 1300 GS is now more enticing than ever with attractive pricing and amazing rebates available at Auto Bavaria. Auto Bavaria is part of Sime Darby Motors and is Malaysia’s largest authorized BMW Motorrad dealership.
