BMW R 1300 GSA, S 1000 RR launch details, price expectations
The R 1300 GSA will replace the outgoing R 1250 GSA in BMW’s lineup as the biggest ADV in the Bavarian marque’s lineup. Where the ‘standard’ R 1300 GS is 12 kilos lighter than the R 1250 GS it succeeded, the 1300 GSA is actually a kilo heavier than the 1250 GSA it will replace. The 1300 will be loaded to the gills with electronic rider aids, including a whole host of radar-assisted ones as well as BMW’s ASA (Automated Shift Assistant), which eliminates a physical clutch lever. When the R 1300 GSA gets here, expect it to carry a premium over the 1250 GSA’s Rs 22.50 lakh price tag.
For 2025, the S 1000 RR sportbike also gets the redesigned fairing and winglets but remains mechanically unchanged. The other visual difference is the addition of wheel covers to the front wheel of the S, which incorporate cooling ducts that direct cool air to the brake calipers. The current S 100 RR is priced between Rs 20.75 lakh – Rs 25.25 lakh and when the updated bike launches, expect it to carry a premium over the outgoing one.
At BMW’s stall, the company will also showcase a diverse range of models from its lineup including the M 1000 XR, R 1300 GS, F 900 GS, F 900 GSA, R 12 nineT, the G 310 trio and the CE 02 as well as CE 04 electric scooters.
