Eye-catching. Powerful. Air-cooled.
Enjoy the confident feel of a boxer with an upright relaxed riding position, coupled with innovative technology. Choose from countless customizing options for your own unique ideas. The R nineT Urban G/S makes a clear statement: It pays tribute to the early days of BMW Motorrad's G/S success story. Just one look and it's clear that the R nineT Urban G/S captures the off-road spirit of that era. At the same time, its riding characteristics make it a true member of today's nineT family. It reflects the way of life of that time. People knew where they wanted to go, and they knew exactly how they would get there. Same as today..
The source of inspiration: unmistakable.
The design of the R nineT Urban G/S is eye-catching. Distinctive stylistic elements make it a powerful, robust bike that pays tribute to the original G/S design. The 19-inch front wheel, the telescopic fork with the familiar bellows, the headlamp mask with the windscreen and the raised mudguard define the front of the bike. Its profile is defined by a pronounced horizontal line. White body elements and the narrow, slightly longer red seat revive the spirit of the legendary R 80 G/S from 1980. The black engine and frame highlight this effect. The new classic round instruments also show that the Urban G/S is part of the nineT family. The R nineT Urban G/S also excels on everything from unpaved paths to gravel roads. The optional all-terrain tires and spoke wheels, the Enduro foot pegs, the bolted-on heat shield and the steel footbrake lever highlight this fact, both functionally and visually.
Technology for pure riding fun.
The R nineT Urban G/S is faithful to the past with its looks but it shows equal respect for the present with its modern technology. It features the proven engine and electrical system of the BMW R nineT. The R nineT Urban G/S also meets the current EU-4 standard thanks to its state-of-the-art technology. The powerful air-cooled, two-cylinder boxer engine features a capacity of 1,170 ccm and 81 kW (110 bhp) of output for a highly dynamic power delivery, even at low speeds. The standard ABS and optional ASC Automatic Stability Control ensure that you're always safe when you bring your power to the road – or gravel.
Upright and commanding.
The balanced ergonomic triangle of the Urban G/S keeps you agile and confident on the road. The slightly higher handlebar, the long seat surface and slightly deeper and wider rear mounted footrests make for a more relaxed and confident riding experience. The standard seat height of the series is 850 mm. Thanks to an optional lower seat of 820 mm, the R nineT Urban G/S offers stability for riders of almost all sizes.
Features may include:
Headlamp mask, round headlights with windscreen: a front reminiscent of vintage G/S bikes.
Dirt doesn't stand a chance: the raised mudguard keeps things rolling. Nothing gets clogged with mud and dirt.
White tank, blue accents and the red seat: classic BMW M.
For better hold and better vehicle control for offroad use and driving while standing.
The 19-inch front wheel with optional all-terrain tires brings up memories of rides on almost impassable terrain.
The inspiration is clear: just like the R 80 G/S, the R nineT Urban G/S also has the distinctive long red seat.
Elegant and modern: White indicators.
A classic enduro touch: heat shield on the brushed stainless steel rear silencer.
