The motorcycle culture is still shallow in China, and the mass base is not the same as that of the automobile. However, the Chinese market is already the fifth largest sales market for BMW Motorcycles in the world, and the young consumer group affected by BMW Motorrad is also expanding.
The 2024 Beijing International Motorcycle Show welcomed some heavyweight stars, with the all-new R 1300 GS, the latest flagship model of the Adventure series, and the all-new BMW CE 02, the third all-electric scooter in the urban mobility series, the most eye-catching. Among them, the former has opened pre-sale, with a pre-sale price of 228,000 yuan, and the latter is officially listed, with a suggested retail price of 69,900 yuan.
The new R 1300 GS
The all-new R 1300 GS adopts the typical adventure design language and introduces off-road elements such as the front subfender, emphasizing aerodynamics with sleek body lines. The new matrix headlights feature an "X" structure for clearer visibility when riding at night. An electrically adjustable windshield is available as an option, and some models are equipped with adaptive seat height control.
The new R 1300 GS is powered by a 1300cc boxer engine, a completely new horizontally opposed engine with a maximum power output of 107 kW and a maximum torque of 149 Nm. The engine has been reduced by 6.5 kg for superior performance. The main and auxiliary frames of the vehicle have been completely redesigned, and the weight of the whole vehicle has been reduced by 12 kg.
The all-new R 1300 GS is equipped with Active Cruise Control (ACC) and SWW Lane Change Assist, as well as the exclusive Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system, which provides more stable and safe handling during emergency braking. The vehicle is also equipped with a variety of riding modes to meet the use of various working conditions.
The all-new BMW CE 02
The minimalist styling of the all-new BMW CE 02 is dominated by black, with a granite matte metallic grey bonnet, and the disc wheel design and large wheels are eye-catching. In the lightweight body architecture, the steel tubular double-ring frame with 37 mm inverted crossover and cast aluminium single wishbone construction on the rear wheels makes the vehicle weigh only 132 kg.
The new saddle is 750 mm high and suitable for women. The vehicle has a maximum power output of 11 kW, a 0-50 km/h acceleration time of 3 seconds, and a top speed of 95 km/h.
