The 2025 BMW R 1300 RT has arrived in Malaysia, and (estimated) prices range from RM167,000 to RM180,000 depending on the “editions” and trim.
Do note that this is an entirely new model from the contact patches up i.e. new engine, chassis, frame, design, electronics suite, etc. It surely pushes the already very capable RT to a whole new level.
Highlights of the 2025 BMW R 1300 RT:
- Two-cylinder boxer engine with the displacement of 1300cc, using the bore and stroke dimensions of 106.5 x 73mm.
- The BMW Shift Cam-equipped engine produces 143 hp at 7,750 RPM and 149.2 Nm at 6,500 RPM. It is the most powerful production BMW Boxer yet.
- Completely redesigned chassis which uses a new sheet steel frame (like the R 1300 R), plus a die-cast aluminium rear frame.
- The main differences between the R 1300 RT and R 1300 RS is the front suspension: The former receives the new Telelever Evo from the R 1300 GS, which isolates the handlebars from the suspension to a greater degree than before.
- At the rear is the Evo Paralever which offers a stiffer connection via the suspension in the frame and a quick-release axle on the swingarm.
- New 17-inch aluminium cast wheels with hollow-spoke design, reducing 1.4 kg.
- Braking system includes twin front disc brakes with radially-mounted four-piston calipers.
- A 10.25-inch TFT colour screen that includes integrated map navigation and a newly-developed Connectivity Hub.
- Electronic rider aids include the standard Road, Rain, Eco modes and Cornering ABS.
- Adding the “Riding Modes Pro” optional system which comprises additional riding modes such as ‘Dynamic’ and ‘Dynamic Pro’.
- Further upgrades include Riding Assistant which comes with Active Cruise Control (ACC), Front Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Change Warning (SWW) and Front Collision Warning (FCW).
- Colours are Alpine White 3 (RM167,000), Triple Black Limited Edition (RM177,000), Impulse Limited Edition (RM180,000). All are estimated recommended retail selling prices and not on-the-road.
