BMW Motorrad has introduced the new R 12 G/S, a purist enduro motorcycle that combines retro styling with modern performance. Inspired by the legendary R 80 G/S, the new model revives the “Gelände / Straße” (Off-road / Street) concept with a design and build aimed at both rugged trails and dynamic road riding.
Powered by a 1,170 cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine producing 109 hp and 115 Nm of torque, the R 12 G/S offers three standard riding modes—Rain, Road, and Enduro—alongside Dynamic Traction Control and engine drag torque control.
The optional “Enduro Package Pro” adds an 18-inch rear wheel, Enduro Pro mode, and advanced off-road components including serrated footrests and handlebar risers.
A fully adjustable 45 mm upside-down fork and Paralever swingarm with long-travel suspension ensure confident handling on rough terrain. Braking is supported by a twin-disc setup with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro for enhanced safety in corners.
The frame is a tubular steel spaceframe with a bolted-on rear subframe and revised steering geometry for better off-road ergonomics. A large 21-inch front wheel is standard, while three seat configurations accommodate various riding styles and needs.
Standard features include a round analog instrument cluster, LED lighting, and a 12V socket. Optional upgrades include Headlight Pro with adaptive lighting, Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless gear changes, and a digital display.
The R 12 G/S is available in three color schemes: Night Black Matte, Light White with red seat, and the premium Option 719 Aragonit in a tri-tone matte finish. With its classic looks and modern capabilities, the R 12 G/S revives BMW’s enduro legacy for a new generation of riders.
