Variable Spring Rate Suspension
BMW chose the R1300R to debut their new variable spring rate suspension technology, which mimics the effect of changing springs on the move. The system works on both the telescopic forks and rear shock, a first for a production motorcycle.
Paralever Shaft Drive
The R1300R uses a Paralever rear end with shaft drive, which prevents the bike from squatting too dramatically on take-off. Unlike a chain, the shaft drive never needs to be adjusted.
Fully Loaded Price
The base BMW R1300R starts at £13,200, but the fully loaded test bike ridden at the world launch costs £18,640. The variable spring rate suspension is included in the optional 'Dynamic Package' or standard on the SE model.
