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 front-wheel cover define the front of the bike. The profile is defined by a pronounced horizontal line. White body elements and the narrow, slightly longer red seat invoke 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 R nineT family. The R nineT Urban G/S also excels on everything from unpaved paths to gravel roads. The optional knobby off-road tires on spoked wheels, the Enduro foot pegs, the bolted-on heat shield and the steel footbrake lever emphasize the bike’s purpose, both functionally and visually.The R nineT Urban G/S also excels on everything from unpaved paths to gravel roads.
