Approved from 31 May 2024, the new bike is ready to make its entry onto the market, bringing with it a series of technical improvements and innovations compared to the previous model. MOTORRAD has examined the main features of the new GSA, comparing it with the BMW R1300GS standard and the previous one BMW R1250 GS Adventure .

There BMW R1300GS Adventure , abbreviated to GSA, has been officially approved in Switzerland and introduced with a new automatic transmission ASA (Automatic Shift Assistant). This innovation enables smooth and seamless gear changes, enhancing the riding experience. Although full technical data is not yet available, the data provided for approval reveals significant differences compared to the R1300 GS.
Powerful Performance
The new BMW R 1300 GS Adv maintains its maximum power of 145 hp (107 kW) at 7,750 rpm, with a maximum torque of 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm. These specifications make it a powerful and high-performance motorcycle, capable of tackling any terrain with ease. However, the GSA is approved for a top speed of 220 km/h, which is slightly lower than the R 1300 GS. Compared to the R 1250 GS Adventure, the new 1300 GSA offers 9 hp more, 6 Nm more torque and a 7 km/h higher top speed.
Weight and Tank
A significant aspect of the new GSA is its weight. With an increase of 21 kg over the R 1300 GS, the GSA reaches a total ready-to-ride weight of 271 kg. This also makes it 3 kg heavier than the R 1250 GSA. The fuel tank volume, while not specified, is expected to be larger than the R 1300 GS, similar to the 30 litres of the 1250 GSA. Load capacity has also increased, with the new GSA able to carry up to 485 kg, 20 kg more than the R 1300 GS.
