BMWR nineTUrban G/S (2022)

The BMW R nineT Urban G/S is a masterclass in retro-futurism, blending timeless design with cutting-edge technology to create an unparalleled riding experience. Its 1170cc Boxer engine roars to life with a distinctive growl, delivering a wave of torque that’s simply addictive.

At the heart of this machine lies a Four-Part Frame Concept, expertly crafted to provide exceptional stability and agility on both urban streets and off-pavement terrain. The addition of BMW Motorrad Paralever ensures smooth suspension travel, while the central spring strut and adjustable rebound-stage damping further refine the ride.

Whether carving through twisties or tackling rugged trails, the R nineT Urban G/S is an exercise in unbridled freedom – its Boxer engine, now meeting EU-5 requirements with new cylinder heads, provides even greater pulling power than before.
