According To BMW Motorrad
As the crow flies? No, the detour is the destination. And when it comes to gravel, the R nineT Urban G/S is also in its element. Its design is reminiscent of the first G/S models. This is the legendary BMW R 80 G/S. And with it the idea that simply anything is possible. The geometry with the upright, relaxed seating position, the well-balanced handling and the boxer with its unmistakable sound, challenges you to rewrite history with the R nineT Urban G/S – your history.
Power through the city traffic or prefer to take a spontaneous trip over gravel roads? The air/oil-cooled boxer takes your ideas on board. And makes for very fun travel. Its ridability is balanced and full of exciting dynamics whenever it matters. The optimised torque curve guarantees you dynamic pulling power between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. And this is exactly where you get the most spontaneous ideas. The peak torque is still 116 Nm at 6,000 rpm. And of course the boxer complies with the requirements of the Euro 5 standard.
There is nothing more beautiful than strong role models. And this applies to design, too. Nevertheless, the R nineT Urban G/S offers you several possibilities to become unforgettable yourself. With the Option 719 billet pack Classic, you can immediately see the quality and love for the craft. And the gold anodised cross-spoked wheels really get your individuality going.
The R nineT Urban G/S boasts balanced ridability. In the new Dirt Mode of the driving modes Pro, you can now let the control systems ASC or DTC take effect much later: for gravel and dirt roads off the beaten track. And the adaptive headlights provide optimum illumination of the inside of corners at heel angles between 7° and 25°.
The design of the R nineT Urban G/S is a homage to the first G/S models – those legendary guarantees of success that shaped an entire generation and in the process created a new genre. Individuality shaped the riders’ idea of freedom. Just like today. Use the following suggestion to make your R nineT Urban G/S your very own legend.
