Description

DO IT YOUR WAY.

The new BMW R 1250 RT gives you more freedom than ever before. The variable camshaft control system ‘BMW ShiftCam’ ensures consistent power delivery throughout the entire power band, for swift cornering and immense torque on the straights. An increase in engine displacement brings you even more performance – pumping out 136 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. Experiencing the road ahead is more effortless than ever. You can make your RT unique thanks to the new individualization options. It's your tour, and your bike.

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 quality of the twin-cylinder boxer engine. Its performance and enhancement in operation fascinate across the entire power band. The ‘BMW ShiftCam’ variable camshaft control system ensures greater torque across the entire power band and boosts your control. Thanks to a larger displacement and more power with more efficiency, your riding pleasure intensifies mile upon mile. The high torque curve and the irresistible power with fewer gear changes quickly become indispensable companions.

Features may include:

  • Next-Gen Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment).

Available Next-Gen 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.

  • Gear Shift Assist Pro.
