BMW Motorrad’s GS diversity is well known to ADV and off-road enthusiasts for their mythical ability to tame the terrain. Recently, BMW Motorrad presented the R 1250 GS in the country with an initial value of Rs 16.85 lakh, former exhibition in India. Is it just a slight upgrade or is it an improvement over the previous generation GS? Here’s everything you want to know about the new diversity:
It carries the GS flavor par excellence:
The BMW R 1250 GS and its state-of-the-art iteration, the R 1200 GS, have almost designs, with the exception of engine head covers and exhaust manifolds. In fact, the engine is now supplied with the new ShiftCam technology, which will be explained in the next paragraphs. The new motorcycle maintains the iconic design of the asymmetric headlights, but is a new LED unit. It is flanked through joints on both sides and a giant adjustable windshield at the top. Gets an optional 6.5-inch TFT power socket and a tool console with smartphone connectivity.
While the popular variant receives a giant 20-litre fuel tank, the Adventure Edition comes with an even giant 30-litre aluminum unit! This variant also features a more powerful front peak and appearance tank panels with brushed steel elements, a full-length bumper, a TFT console, a top seat and a longer luggage rack at the back. In addition to those features, it also rolls on steel beam wheels with cameraless tires.
Debuts with ShiftCam technology:
Compared to the previous generation model, the new R 1250 GS derives its strength from a larger 1254 cc two-cylinder two-cylinder boxer engine. For the first time for BMW, the engine is supplied with ShiftCam technology. This serves to necessarily optimize refinement, especially in the decrease of the end of the nutrition range, as well as efficiency. ShiftCam varies valve stagnation and camshafts are designed for optimal fuel flow, resulting in progressive combustion efficiency. The engine also benefits from an optimized oil supply, double-jet injection valves and a new exhaust system.
All these settings result in a maximum output force of 135.9 PS at 7750 rpm and 143 Nm at 6250 rpm. The power is transmitted via a 6-speed transmission, connected to a transmission shaft. According to the WMTC cycle, the claimed power figure is 21.2 kmpl, which is not so bad for an engine of this size. This, combined with the 20-litre fuel tank of the popular version, will ensure a diversity of more than 400 km, while the diversity of the R 1250 GS Adventure exceeds at least six hundred km in theory.
The standard electronic features of any of the variants come with Rain and Road driving modes, detachable abs, automatic stability and slope start.
Capable base packages:
The BMW R 1250 GS and bmw R 1250 GS Adventure are built in a two-part chassis with the engine as the required detail and a bolted auxiliary frame. The suspension consists of a 37 mm BMW Telelever center leg with spring at the front and a BMW Paralever at the rear, fully hydraulically adjustable. The suspension is 190 mm at the front and two hundred mm on the back for the popular version. On the other hand, the Adventure variant has a slightly higher suspension of 210 mm at both ends. Both motorcycles travel with 19-inch front wheels and 17-inch rear wheels, although the popular variant comes with alloys, while the Adventure features cross-ray wheels that can accommodate cameraless tires.
For braking power, these giants use two 305 mm discs with radial stirrups at the front and a single 276 mm unit at the rear. In the general version, the seat is 850 mm high while the Adventure seat is 889 mm from the ground. In terms of weight, the popular motorcycle tipped the balance to 249 kg of pavement and the Adventure weighed 268 kg. This is thanks to the larger fuel tank, spoke wheels and anti-collision protection.
It comes to a premium:
BMW Motorrad India brings the new GS diversity to India, the CBU route, and as a result, motorcycle loads are higher. The popular fundamental variant charges Rs 16.85 lakh while the Pro edition sells for Rs 20.05 lakh. On the other hand, the Adventure variant starts at Rs 18.25 lakh for popular style, while the Pro reaches 21.95 lakh, all ex-showroom, in India. Compared to their predecessors in their respective specifications, the new motorcycles charge an additional lakh rupee, which is not so bad given the point of technical powertrain innovations. The biggest competition in this diversity comes with the Triumph Tiger 1200 (Rs 17 lakh) and the diversity Ducati Multistrada 1260 (Rs 15.99 lakh to Rs 21.42 lakh, all ex exhibition in India).
