Like their predecessors, the new BMW R 1200 GS offer an almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past, the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new engine offering even more power and torque. In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations. Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled three-way catalytic converter.

As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front spring strut.

onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.
