2026 BMW R 1300 RT

THE BMW R 1300 RT

YOUR BIKE, YOUR COMMAND

The BMW R 1300 RT is your shortcut to the ultimate touring experience. With its carefully selected equipment for comfort and technology, you are in control – for a top-class experience on long-distance trips. Its powerful boxer engine and 110 lb-ft of torque mean that you and your passenger can enjoy dynamic tours. The visual levity of the design gives the bike a particularly vivacious aesthetic. In short: With this RT, you can make the most of every minute of your journey.

CONFIDENCE ON THE ROAD

• Next Level: Dynamic Chassis Adaptation — You can look forward to a real highlight in the Dynamic Chassis Adaptation (DCA), the optional chassis for the new R 1300 RT that features variable spring rate setting, two individually adjustable damping modes, as well as two independent riding positions. The combination of two riding positions and the adaptable spring rate transforms your RT into two completely different motorcycles.
  
  Both riding positions are precisely adapted to the riding mode selected. In all comfort-oriented riding modes (excluding Dynamic and Dynamic Pro), you can enjoy softer spring/damping settings and a balanced riding position – for relaxed and stable straight sections. If you switch to Dynamic or Dynamic Pro mode, the ride height is elevated, while the spring/damping settings become harder. This allows you to explore even greater lean angles. Additionally, the rear damper is extended, making the steering angle more steep – for significantly more active and steerable drivability. Additionally, you can adjust the damping to meet your own exact preferences via Clicksetting. With Dynamic Chassis Adaptation, you can enjoy maximum variability in your riding experience with ease – to suit your preferences exactly.


• More visibility: The light technology — With the available Headlight Pro, you’ll see the road in a completely new light. The adaptive headlight function helps ensure that the road is optimally illuminated, even if you’re riding with a lean angle, or watching the day turn to night on extended tours. 


• Optimized wind and weather protection — With the optional variable slipstream deflectors, you can manually regulate the airflow to suit your needs. More comfort, less wind pressure – for a more relaxed ride on every tour.
  
  In the lower position, you benefit from a pleasant ventilation of the upper body, while the upper position maximizes the wind and weather protection – a tangible improvement compared to the predecessor model.
  
  The standard wind and weather protection has also been optimized. With the new cylinder trim panel, your shoes and ankles are protected from water, even in rainy conditions.


• Simply efficient: The Automatic Shift Assistant — The optional Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) takes touring to a new level. The automatic clutch operation and gearshifting offer an effortless ride – ideal for long distances. Switch to “D” mode for efficiency and precision, or retain control over gear changes in “M” mode. At the same time, your boxer engine delivers precise power, while the gentle gear changes provide a stable and comfortable ride.


• The Riding Assistant — The Riding Assistant gives you a tangible boost to comfort and confidence on every tour. Thanks to radar-based functions like Active Cruise Control (ACC) with brake function, you can enjoy a more relaxed ride, especially over long distances. The system allows you to configure a set speed and choose the distance that should be maintained between you and the vehicle ahead. A radar sensor detects vehicles up to 328 feet away and automatically adjusts the speed in order to maintain the distance selected. If the road is clear, the set speed remains constant.
  
  Additionally, the front collision warning ensures that you can react to vehicles ahead of you in a timely manner. In the event that you overlook a vehicle ahead, you will feel the vehicle brake briefly, reminding you to brake independently.
  
  The lane change warning constantly monitors the area around your blind spot and warns you if you get too close to another vehicle when changing lanes. This means you can complete your maneuvers in a confident and comfortable way.


• Smart equipment: Audio system and Connectivity Hub — With the Audio Pro sound system, you can set the tone – the quality speakers and 4-channel actuation with various sound profiles provide you with crystal-clear treble and rich bass – for an unforgettable sound experience on tour. It’s also a visual highlight to boot: You can see the gold speaker through the cover.
  
  The Connectivity Hub allows you to operate BMW Motorrad accessories seamlessly, including the head-up display glasses or the heated jacket. As such, the troublesome process of repeatedly pressing buttons on your helmet is a thing of the past.


• Even more flexible: The luggage system — The new luggage system sets new standards with respect to technology and comfort. The touring Vario case offers flexible volume adjustment, ensuring that you always have plenty of space for your gear. In conjunction with the central locking system, the system ensures the highest level of security with the option to securely lock the case, the storage compartment, and the topcase. Additionally, the cases have interior lighting, and the left-hand case has an integrated power socket.
