R 1300 RT BMW’s New Flagship Road Biased Tourer And The Fourth Bike To Use Same Engine
The R 1300 RT is a new vehicle from BMW that uses its 1300cc boxer engine. Among many other features, it has a 10.25-inch TFT display and an integrated music system, making it ideal for long-distance travel.
The BMW R 1300 RT, which was released alongside the R 1300 RS, is a member of the same family as the R 1300 R and R 1300 GS. For better wind and weather protection, it has a notably larger fairing. The R 1300 GS, a twin-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine that is air- and liquid-cooled and generates 145 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm, is the engine that the RT shares. A 6-speed gearbox is mated to this engine.

This engine is housed in the same mainframe as the R 1300 GS, however it uses the R 1300 R and R 1300 RS’s rear subframe. An EVO Paralever rear suspension and an EVO Telelever front suspension hold up the frame. This configuration improves steering accuracy and stability, especially while braking or traversing rough terrain.
A rear disc with a two-piston floating caliper and twin front discs with radially mounted four-piston calipers perform braking responsibilities. Additionally, the R 1300 RT has the same 17-inch cast aluminum alloys at both ends as the R and RS, which results in a 1.4 kg reduction in unsprung weight.
