Here is the BMW R 1250 RT 2021!

Indispensable, here is what represents the new RT, which is considered as the benchmark of the category of road.

For this new year, BMW has decided to strike a blow by completely renewing this legendary model. This redesign involves above all aesthetic modifications. If the overall lines do not change too much, we immediately notice the new facies with tapered projectors adopting a new U-shaped visual signature.

These Full LED headlamps also adopt, and this is a French specificity, adaptive lighting which adapts to the inclination of the motorcycle, allows the lights to pivot and illuminate the bend, but also a function called “Welcome light” which leaves the lighting when starting / stopping the motorcycle, like what exists in the automotive world. The profile is classic except for the more rounded front part to provide better protection for the driver.

When properly installed, he will discover a completely redesigned instrumentation which is composed of a 100% digital screen measuring 10.25 inches gathering all the information necessary for driving (speed, tachometer, fuel gauge, trip, driving modes , etc.) but also multimedia, be it navigation, radio or telephone.

With this debauchery of technology comes an enrichment of equipment. The RT inherits, and this is a first for BMW, an adaptive cruise control, which allows the driver to set the minimum distance from the vehicle preceding. With the standard Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC), the preset speed is maintained, even when going downhill. If the action of the engine brake is not sufficient, the braking system is automatically activated in order to maintain the desired driving speed. Active cruise control (ACC), available as an option, automatically manages the speed set by the pilot and the distance from the vehicle in front.

BMW is also taking the opportunity to optimize the adaptive suspension system but also the ABS braking system. The R 1250 RT 2021 is indeed equipped as standard with the new ABS Full Integral Pro system. Combined with the qualities of ABS Pro which optimizes and distributes the braking force according to the inclination of the motorcycle, the ABS Full Integral Pro simultaneously applies the front and rear brakes, whether the rider actuates the lever or the brake pedal. brake. A real plus for safety.

Engine side, this new RT still uses a flat twin, the trademark of the German manufacturer. If the displacement does not move and remains at 1250, this unit now meets the new Euro 5 standards. It develops 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and a torque of 143 Nm at 6,250 Nm, ie characteristics of the previous generation. However, BMW announces that it has reworked it in order to improve driving pleasure and slightly reduce consumption. Note that the weight of 279 kg remains stable.
