User Reviews of R 1300 GS Adventure

5 Rating

Long-Distance Luxury

On a cross-country ride, I appreciated the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure’s heated grips during early-morning chills. Its hill-hold assist helped when starting on steep inclines. The side-pannier capacity is large, enough for two day gear without overload. The cruise control system adapts well, keeping highway pace steady. In addition to that, the bike offers the riders with a mileage of around 17-18 kmpl.
