THE NEW R 1200 GS: TECHNICALLY AMAZING.

It looks the part of the iconic GS. Rugged. Capable. All business. Maybe a little more angular, a bit more aggressive. And that would all be spot on. But there's a lot more to this flagship enduro than meets the eye. Look closely at the boxer engine and you'll see it's been designed like no other bike engine before it. A combination of air and liquid cooling, with vertical flows through the cylinder heads, delivers greater efficiency, more reliability and armloads of torque at all times. The improvements don't stop there. To provide greater control of all this power, there's a new wet slipper clutch and an optional set of five new riding modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic, Off Road and Off Road Pro) that optimize the R 1200 GS to the riding situation. The R 1200 GS has been designed to handle any terrain you can find, with enhanced Paralever and Telelever suspension for more precise handling. Optional Dynamic ESA, a semi-active suspension that adapts to riding conditions and rider input in under 10 milliseconds, adjusts the suspension to handle the worst roads and trails you can find. Even the LED headlamp configuration is unique. Ride it, and you'll understand. The R 1200 GS is the future of riding, unlimited.
