2026 BMW R 1300 RS Performance

The Marathon Runner

The R 1300 RS is a high-performance marathon runner that packs a boxer punch. Ready for any sporty marathon, and the adrenaline-charged sprints in between. It looks extremely buff and radiates a captivating levity. With this bike, you have access to a whole load of technology for a fun and sporty ride – be it alone or with a passenger, or with or without luggage. Exactly as you want it, and always following the motto #NeverStopChallenging.

Features may include:

  • Traction under control: DTC-Shift

With DTC-Shift, you can set the level of traction control you want.

  • True freedom: Sport suspension

The Performance model variant features Sport suspension with a longer suspension fork and longer damper: for tighter damping and increased lean angle freedom.

  • Lighting the way: the headlights

The dual-branch headlights have an aggressive look thanks to their sleek shape. The available Headlight Pro with its adaptive headlights help provide optimal illumination of the road.

  • Detail-obsessed: Seat insert

With the Triple Black, Exclusive, Performance and Option 719 Cuyamaca model variants, the seat insert is painted in the same color as the vehicle body, creating an exclusive highlight.

  • Variable and sporty: the rear

The Sport rear features a rear light that has been cleverly integrated into the grab handles. The very short license plate mount rounds out the athletic look of the rear end.

  • High-quality detail: Footrest system

The adjustable milled footrest system highlights the production quality of the R 1300 RS Performance. There are four levels that allow you to precisely adapt it to suit your dynamic riding style.

  • Stylish and practical: the cases

Long tours can be a breeze with the spacious, stable and electrified cases that are available as optional accessories. The design and color scheme are perfectly matched to the dynamic look of the bike.
