The New R12 G/S is an enduro motorcycle with excellent off-road frequency performance, long-distance driving capability, and even dynamic driving performance on the pavement. This model, which combines a variety of modern technologies with the latest boxer engine, features a perfect capture of the off-road Enduro spirit of BMW's legendary Enduro motorcycle R80 G/S.
The New R12 G/S reflected the classic design unique to the R80 G/S with a modern reinterpretation, including circular headlights and small cockpit pairing, height-mounted front wheel covers, and cross-spoke wheels. The drive shaft and muffler were also installed in the same position as the R80 G/S, melting the identity of the original G/S throughout the design.
The New R12 G/S is available in three body colors: Night Black Mat, which is the base color, and Light White, which is the optional specification, and Sand Over Mat. The dual Light White specification perfectly reproduces the classic design of the R80 G/S, born in 1980, by applying two blue painted fuel tanks, bright red seats, and red 'R12 G/S' logo decals attached to the bottom of the seat.
Ergonomic design and adjustable suspension considering off-road driving environment
The New R12 G/S is ergonomically designed to allow riders to enjoy high stability and controllability even when driving off-road. The long, flat seat has an ideal shape for enduro riding, especially standing riding, and a high-designed handlebar, a footrest set close to the rider's seating position, and a fuel tank that naturally adheres to the knee have increased the ease of driving in off-road driving environments.
The New R 12 G/S has an inverted telescopic fork with a diameter of 45mm on the front wheels, a Farrell lever swing arm on the rear wheels, and a long suspension stroke of 210mm on the front and 200mm on the back. In addition, both the front and back suspensions can be preloaded and adjusted for damping power, so it can be set optimally according to the rider's taste or driving environment.
On top of that, you can experience the best off-road driving performance by providing the front 21-inch and back 18-inch cross-spoke wheels, off-road exclusive tubeless tires, and large engine guards.
With the latest boxer engine, off-road exclusive riding mode and a variety of driving aids
The new R12 G/S is equipped with BMW's world-renowned two-cylinder box engine. The ball/euro-cooled 1,170cc two-cylinder box engine, which exerts a maximum output of 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 11.7kg·m (115Nm), boasts a wide range of torque and unique engine sound. In addition, BMW Shift Assistant Pro is also applied as a basic specification, allowing gear change without clutch operation.
The riding mode is also applied in accordance with the model characteristics. An "Enduro Pro" mode optimized for off-road tires has been added to the "Rain", "Road", and "Enduro" modes. Selecting the Enduro Pro mode changes the throttle response more immediately, while also disabling or minimizing most body posture controls, including traction control, for more active off-road driving.
In addition, various convenience specifications such as "Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)" that realizes optimal grip through rear wheel torque control, "ABS Pro" that supports stable braking and cornering, and "Hill Start Control Pro" that helps stable start on ramps and adaptive LED headlights, cruise control, keyless ride, tire pressure monitoring system (TPC) will also be applied.
The BMW New R12 G/S costs 28.8 million won to 30.7 million won (including VAT) depending on the trim.
