Review
BMW takes an innovative step in the touring motorcycle segment with the 2026 R 1300 RT. This model features a completely redesigned 1,300 cc air/liquid-cooled boxer engine producing 145 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 149 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Thanks to BMW's ShiftCam technology, the engine delivers smooth and powerful performance across all rpm ranges. The new steel main frame and aluminum rear frame optimize the center of gravity, enhancing maneuverability. The front suspension utilizes BMW Motorrad EVO Telelever, while the rear suspension employs the EVO Paralever system. The braking system consists of dual 310 mm discs with 4-piston radial calipers at the front and a 285 mm disc with a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear. Standard BMW Motorrad Full Integral ABS Pro elevates safety to the highest level. Equipped with a 10.25-inch TFT color display, full LED lighting, and integrated side cases, the R 1300 RT offers a combination of comfort and technology for long-distance journeys.
