BMW Motorrad has elevated the standards of luxury touring with the global debut of the new BMW R 1300 RT, combining dynamic performance, luxurious comfort, and intelligent technology into a class-leading touring motorcycle.

The newly designed BMW R 1300 RT features a lighter, more compact frame and a 1,300cc boxer engine producing 143bhp and 149 Nm of torque. This enhanced setup offers a smoother, more commanding ride ideal for long-distance travel while maintaining agility for dynamic cornering.

Notable innovations include:

• Dynamic Chassis Adaptation (DCA) for automatic adjustment of damping and spring rate, offering two ride modes for varying terrain.
• Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) for clutchless gear transitions.
• Advanced EVO Telelever and EVO Paralever systems, delivering excellent ride stability and steering precision.
• Riding Assistant suite, featuring Active Cruise Control (ACC), Front Collision Warning, and Lane Change Warning for enhanced touring safety.
• 10.25-inch TFT display with integrated navigation and Connectivity Hub.

The new R 1300 RT also features electrified Vario cases and optional heated seats, tailored for the ultimate comfort on long rides. Available in four distinct model variants, including the sophisticated Option 719 Camargue, the R 1300 RT promises to suit varied personal styles.

BMW’s commitment to blending dynamic riding excitement with luxurious comfort positions the R 1300 RT as an aspirational benchmark for the growing community of touring motorcycle enthusiasts. With long-distance motorcycling rapidly gaining popularity across India, from the rugged terrains of Ladakh to the serene coastal routes of Kerala, the R 1300 RT is perfectly tailored for the evolving journeys of premium Indian riders. Its true potential, however, will only be realised if BMW brings this masterpiece to our shores.
