The BMW R 1300 GS will continue to get a boxer-twin engine, displacing 1,300 cc and the power output is likely to be 143.5 bhp at 7,750 rpm with peak torque output of 143 Nm at 6,750 rpm. The motorcycle will be built on a completely new chassis, with Aluminium construction and a bolt-on subframe.

The 2024 R 1300 GS will be the first motorcycle to feature SAF Next, a newly evolved electronically controlled chassis system. This technology will allow riders to adjust the seat height on the motorcycle on the fly, thus making it more accessible for shorter riders.

Even though the new GS is expected to be bigger size-wise, it will be lighter than the R 1250 GS by 12 kg at 237 kg. The bike will be offered with a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, with cast alloy and wire-spoke options. Tubeless tyres will be offered as standard.
