Ready for the Rallye
With the additional equipment, you’re ready for off-roading. Or, as we like to call it: Ready to get dirty. The enduro package Pro, with off-road tyres, an 18” rear wheel and handlebar risers, allows you to take treacherous terrain by storm. Thanks to the new navigation preparation with the ConnectedRide Navigator, you’ll never lose focus. The ENDURO PRO riding mode is tuned to meet your off-road needs. Minimal interventions from the control systems and completely deactivated rear-wheel ABS guarantee optimal off-road performance. Hand protectors and the engine guard are there to protect the most important things. The titanium rear silencer and chrome-plated manifold create visual highlights.
The enduro package Pro turns the bike into a master off-roader: The 18-inch rear wheel and off-road tyres ensure maximum off-road performance. The enduro footrest system and handlebar risers provide optimal ergonomics and control when standing. The hand protectors and engine guard provide the ideal protection for both the bike and the rider. The elongated side stand compensates for the height of the larger rear wheel.
The chrome-plated exhaust manifold is a true head-turner and emphasises the sophisticated look of the bike. The glossy, chrome-plated stainless steel surface rounds out the confident aesthetic of the boxer engine and creates a long-lasting visual highlight.
The new navigation preparation with the new ConnectedRide mount is smaller, lighter, and can now be locked electronically to secure your navigator on your vehicle. As such, the ConnectedRide Navigator can be mounted in an optimal position within the rider’s field of view and operated conveniently from the handlebars. The ergonomic design and the elevated position, directly above the instrument cluster, ensure safe handling and good visibility, even when standing.
Perfect aerodynamics meet optimal wind and weather protection. With the Rallye cockpit fairing in Light white, you can enjoy more comfort on the road in all aspects. The specially developed trim panel blends seamlessly into the enduro’s design lines, minimises the wind pressure on the riders, and provides reliable protection against weather influences.
The robust silver engine protection bar made of stainless steel protects the motorcycle’s engine when riding off-road. It is perfectly matched to the bike and is easy to install. The engine protection bar makes the bike even more robust and sporty.
High-end perfection: this high-quality slip-on rear silencer made of titanium with carbon end cap ensures a robust sound and sporty look. In addition, the sports silencer developed with Akrapovič is weight-optimised compared with the standard silencer.
With the BMW ConnectedRide Navigator, all tours and plans are always with you. Synchronise planned routes and recordings with the BMW Motorrad app through your BMW ID. You can read the 5.5-inch touch display easily, even in direct sunlight. Operation is intuitive via the multi-controller.
Escape from big-city life
Ready for the city, country, and rivers
The R 12 G/S Option 719 Aragonite makes any terrain into your stage. With black aluminium milled parts, it will awaken your desire for your next great desert adventure. ConnectedRide Control allows you to establish a direct connection to your smartphone. The Digital Display replaces the round instrument with a 3.5” micro-TFT. In the olive-coloured Adventure Collection side bag, you can pack everything you need for your adventure. All in all, it’s an exclusive work of art.
The street-oriented Style Option 719 “Aragonite” in Sandrover matt with the frame in Racing red gives the R 12 G/S a powerful appearance. Black cylinder head covers, milled parts and the black fork legs create striking contrasts. The chrome-plated exhaust manifold and silver fork bridges emphasise the elegant and dynamic character.
With ConnectedRide Control, the smartphone can be connected to the vehicle and display certain vehicle data, as well as the current weather and map navigation, in the ConnectedRide app. The smartphone is securely fastened in a holder in your field of vision. Operation is simple and intuitive via the multi-controller.
The engine guard protects the motorcycle and emphasises the enduro aesthetic.
The unobtrusive Digital Display catapults the motorbike into the digital age. Thanks to the clear display, all information remains clearly in view – especially in the even more compact Pure Ride mode. In addition to the speed and revs, the daily distance travelled, average consumption or engine temperature can also be displayed.
The black LED additional headlights offer a boost to active and passive safety, especially in conditions with poor visibility. They are extremely strong thanks to their modern LED light technology. They have also been integrated perfectly into the motorcycle’s design.
The waterproof, olive-coloured side bag from the Adventure Collection is made of durable Nylon fabric and offers 16 litres of storage space. It combines a sleek look with a modern snap fastener system. It offers practical features, such as a removable inner bag with a rolltop closure. The subtle holder made of black tubular steel is hardly noticeable on the bike.
The stainless steel cylinder-head cover guard protects the cylinder head cover from scratches and stone chips. It is also equipped with a large rubber buffer on the inside. Visually, the cylinder-head cover guard is perfectly matched to the design and lines of the boxer engine.
