Like the engine, the entire suspension of the new BMW R1300 GS was redesigned. The centrepiece is the new sheet metal main frame made of steel, which in addition to a significant optimisation of the installation space for even more compact packaging also offers higher levels of stiffness than the predecessor model. In the course of the redesign, the rear frame was also completely reconceived. In place of the previous tubular steel construction, the new R 1300 GS now has a rear frame made of die-cast aluminium.
In addition to excellent stiffness levels and low weight, this new solution also has advantages in terms of optimised installation space as well as offering a high degree of freedom for innovative design. For example, a short, slim and dynamic rear end in the new R1300 GS forms a significantly stiffer bond with the main frame compared to its predecessor. This results in a noticeable increase in riding precision and stability.
