Plan YOUR adventure now. Roads not required!

Like its root model the R1200GS, the Adventure's big Boxer engine is equipped with high-performance cylinder heads proven in World Endurance Championship roadracing by the BMW HP2 Sport. Featuring dual overhead camshafts and four radial valves per side, they increase the power output, torque, and usable rev range. A six-speed close-ratio gearbox features all helical gears and a low-friction shifter mechanism for smooth shifts. The exhaust system features an electronically-controlled bypass valve for quiet stealth at small throttle openings and a throaty roar when riding hard.

New Enduro ESA is a useful option for the Adventure. ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment provides on-the-fly setting of shock absorber modes (Normal, Sport or Comfort settings of compression and rebound damping on both front and rear shocks. When stopped, the rider can adjust for load (solo, with luggage, or two-up) with just the push of a button. The Enduro ESA adds two modes for offroad, with spring adjustment at both front and rear. The more severe setting also increases the ride height of the bike by about 2 cm.
