Whether you’re travelling, off-roading or just enjoying everyday riding, high-quality Touratech accessories highlight the different facets of the BMW R 12 G/S, transforming this purist retro enduro into a customised dream bike.

As a deliberate counterpoint to the technological arms race in the adventure touring segment, the BMW R 12 G/S focuses on style, simplicity and authenticity. Built around the tried-and-tested air/oil-cooled four-valve boxer engine with 109 hp, the developers have created an adventure bike that combines classic virtues with modern performance. Its versatile design performs equally well on winding country roads, off-road and on long journeys. For each of these scenarios, Touratech supplies the right components to help you realise the bike’s full potential.

All-round protection
Touratech’s extensive range of protective gear offers 360-degree protection for the R 12 G/S. The robust Expedition engine guard, made from 4 mm-thick aluminium, protects the oil sump and the lower section of the engine casing. An extension is available as an optional extra, reaching as far as the collector so that the underside of the bike is fully protected.
With four mounting points on the frame and a well-designed layout, the engine crash bar effectively protects the cylinders in the event of a fall or side impact with obstacles. The innovative Tech-Plates provide additional reinforcement and the option to fit accessories, blending seamlessly into the design of this robust protector.
A special version of the tried-and-tested Touratech Defensa hand guards, featuring a protective bar made from ultra-strong aluminium, is available, tailored specifically to the R 12 G/S. A cardan shaft crash pad and a headlight guard with a practical quick-release fastener complete the protection package. 

Suspension upgrade
Whether riding ambitious mountain passes or tackling challenging off-road sections, Touratech Suspension components deliver noticeably greater precision, stability and control. Vehicle-specific suspension components combine responsive handling with ample reserves when pushing the limits.
To enter the exciting world of suspension tuning, Touratech Suspension offers progressive springs for the fork and shock absorber of the R 12 G/S – available individually or as a set.
The Explore shock absorber offers a significant performance boost thanks to its separator piston technology, mechanical spring preload, external reservoir and adjustable rebound and compression damping.
For the most demanding requirements, we recommend the Extreme2 shock absorber: with separately adjustable high- and low-speed compression damping, a high-flow piston, friction-optimised seals and an improved hydraulic bottom-out stop, it sets the standard in this segment.
The configuration is perfectly complemented by the Cartridge Kit Extreme, which completely replaces the fork’s internal components and offers a wide range of adjustment options for a customised suspension setup.
In addition, there are numerous lowering options available that allow the seat height of the R 12 G/S to be lowered by up to 30 millimetres – whilst largely retaining its excellent off-road capabilities.

Luggage systems
If the R 12 G/S is to demonstrate its excellent touring capabilities, a well-designed luggage system is essential. Thanks to its luggage plate featuring numerous strap slots, the Touratech luggage rack not only provides space for securely fastening a Rack Pack. With its base structure made from powder-coated stainless steel tubing, it also reinforces the rear of the frame and forms the basis for mounting a pannier rack, to which the soft panniers from the Endurance, Travel and Extreme Edition ranges can be securely attached.
