BMW R1250RT (2018-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2018, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R 1250 RT, a motorcycle with a new look, more standard equipment, and various technical upgrades for a better unique riding experience.

The bike was fitted with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) that ensured a high level of safety with excellent traction control and a new ECO riding mode that helped the rider achieve better fuel efficiency.

Some of the bike's highlights were represented by a new BMW Motorrad Full Integral ABS Pro as standard, three riding modes, Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), Hil Start Control Pro (HSC Pro), new aerodynamic front fairings, LED Headlight and taillight, and a new 2.0 audio system.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a small luggage rack, side-mounted panniers, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

In the performance department, the 2018 BMW R1250RT had its soul brought to life by a 1,254cc four-stroke two-cylinder air/liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and 142 Nm (105 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.

The bike's power was delivered to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final chain drive.
