BMW R1300GS

Fancy a change? Instead of the plastic panniers offered by BMW, the Touratech side bags can now be attached directly to the BMW R 1300 GS’ original Vario mounting points thanks to a clever mounting system – no modifications, no effort.

With the new luggage rack replacing the passenger seat, Touratech is expanding its range of accessories for the BMW R 1300 GS with a solution for solo riders that is both functional and stylish.

With the TMACS quick-release mounting system, Touratech opens up completely new possibilities for attaching soft luggage to motorcycles. TMACS marks a real technological leap forward and meets the highest standards of ease of use, safety and off-road capability. Initially, selected tank bag models will be equipped with the innovative system.

Touratech is once again setting new standards in the accessories market for adventure bikes: the specialist from Niedereschach is the first manufacturer worldwide to present a professional soft luggage system that is fully compatible with the original BMW Vario luggage rack of the new R 1300 GS. The new Plug & Travel soft luggage system combines maximum flexibility with near-series integration – without modifications, with convenient handling and an absolutely secure fit.

Offroad performance combined with the finest, electronically controlled response behaviour characterises the semi-active Plug & Travel Extreme2 suspension struts, which are currently also being developed for the latest generation of boxers.

Extra Large – the name says it all with the Touratech Expedition XL engine guard. Raised further at the front and sides and extended down to the collector, it offers even more comprehensive protection for the 1300 Boxer than the tried-and-tested standard version.

Touratech comfort seats are now also available for the BMW R 1300 GS. Equipped with a new type of heating as standard, the seats, which are available in different heights, can be easily replaced with the original equipment thanks to plug-and-play technology.

Developed specifically for each model and already tested under the toughest conditions – Touratech accessories maximise the potential of the new BMW R 1300 GS. And that applies to expeditions as much as to everyday use.

Muddy single trails, dilapidated bridges, hair-raising river crossings - far off the beaten track, a Touratech test team with fully equipped BMW R 1300 GSs battled its way through the jungles of northern Thailand towards the border with Myanmar. On board: Touratech brand ambassador Charley Boorman.
