Experience Pure Adventure: The New 2026 BMW R 12 G/S Unveiled at Motorcycles of Dulles

Motorcycle enthusiasts, get ready to explore the open road like never before. The all-new 2026 BMW R 12 G/S has officially arrived, and Motorcycles of Dulles is proud to unveil this retro-modern marvel to riders across Virginia and beyond. Designed to capture the spirit of the original adventure bike while incorporating cutting-edge technology, the R 12 G/S is the ultimate machine for riders who crave off-road thrills and on-road comfort.

Heritage-Inspired Design Meets Modern Innovation

The 2026 BMW R 12 G/S draws inspiration from the legendary R 80 G/S, BMW’s first adventure motorcycle. With its minimalist design, classic enduro lines, and rugged performance capabilities, the new R 12 G/S pays homage to its roots while delivering a thoroughly modern riding experience. The design features a compact cockpit fairing, tubular steel spaceframe, and a high-mounted exhaust system that emphasizes its off-road DNA.

Equipped with a powerful 1,170cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine, the R 12 G/S produces 109 horsepower and 85 lb-ft of torque—more than enough to conquer winding trails and open highways alike. Whether you’re navigating a dirt path or cruising down the interstate, this motorcycle delivers reliable power with a signature boxer growl.

Adventure-Ready Features for Every Terrain

Engineered for true versatility, the 2026 R 12 G/S is built to handle everything from urban commutes to rugged backcountry rides. Long-travel suspension with 210 mm front and 200 mm rear travel ensures smooth performance on uneven terrain, while cross-spoke wheels (21-inch front and 17-inch rear standard) offer excellent traction and durability.

Riders will appreciate the thoughtful ergonomics, including a flat solo seat that supports off-road standing posture, aluminum handlebars, and wide enduro-style foot pegs. With multiple seat height options and an optional passenger kit, the bike is adaptable for solo riders or two-up adventures.

Intelligent Technology and Ride Modes

BMW’s advanced riding technology enhances safety and performance, offering three standard ride modes: Rain, Road, and Enduro. For those who want to push the limits further, the optional Enduro Package Pro adds an “Enduro Pro” ride mode, optimized for aggressive off-road conditions, as well as enhanced footrests and an 18-inch rear wheel setup.

Riders also benefit from Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), engine drag torque control (MSR), and optional Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless gear changes. Braking confidence comes standard, thanks to twin 310 mm front discs with ABS Pro that ensures safe stopping even while cornering.

A compact round instrument display delivers vital ride data with clarity, and optional ConnectedRide Control integrates smartphone connectivity, navigation, and a high-tech TFT screen upgrade.
