BMW Motorrad India is all set to launch the new-generation R 1300 GS adventure tourer tomorrow, June 13, 2024. The BMW GS range is considered the benchmark when it comes to adventure tourers and the new-gen model holds a lot of promise as well. The new BMW R 1300 GS succeeds the R 1250 GS and packs a host of innovations and technologies to set it apart from its competitors. Here’s what we think will be the pricing on the new R 1300 GS.
The new BMW R 1300 GS will be offered in five trims – Light White, Triple Black 1, Triple Black 2, GS Trophy and Option 719. The difference exists in colour options as well as the features available on each of these variants. Moreover, BMW will offer three packages – Comfort, Dynamic and Touring – further bringing specific features in each package.
