TECHNOLOGY | WORKS PRO FOOT PEGS

The revolutionary adjustment mechanism of the new Works Pro foot pegs for the BMW R 1300 GS allows simultaneous adaptation in the vertical and horizontal positions. These high-end foot pegs therefore enable perfect ergonomic adjustment of the rider's personal riding position.

Handlebars, seat, foot pegs - these are the three central interfaces between man and motorbike. While a lot of attention is paid to the former two, the correct position of the feet is an aspect that is often neglected even by experienced motorcyclists. The arrangement of the foot pegs not only plays an important role in terms of comfort; the ergonomically optimised alignment of foot and leg is also of central importance for perfect control of the vehicle. The standard foot peg system can only be a compromise. In order to achieve an individually perfect sitting or standing position on the motorbike, the foot pegs must be adjusted for each rider.

The new Touratech Works Pro foot pegs for the BMW R 1300 GS set new standards in terms of customisability. Not only do they allow precise adjustment with their multi-tooth ratchet, their adjustment curve is designed so that the footrest not only moves downwards, but also backwards at the same time. This takes account of the fact that riders with long legs generally also have a larger foot. The height adjustment therefore automatically adjusts the distance to the brake and clutch levers.

But that's not all: for road use, the Works Pro foot pegs for the BMW R 1300 GS have a comfortable rubber pad that can be removed without tools as soon as the bike is taken off-road. The claw profile of the solid foot pegs, made of electropolished stainless steel investment casting, is designed to realise the optimum combination of grip and self-cleaning.
