Innovation in Luggage: Vario Set from an R1300GS Designed for Adventure

BMW Motorrad is continually dedicated to developing its products, maintaining a constant effort of research and innovation to best meet the needs of its clientele. Particularly in the area of motorcycle luggage, BMW strives to offer increasingly practical, secure, and suitable solutions for transporting various personal effects.

For example, BMW has designed the Vario luggage system, which includes side cases and a top case whose dimensions can be adjusted to offer more volume, thereby facilitating the storage of your belongings. This year, BMW has introduced a major innovation with a completely redesigned design for the side cases and top case of the BMW R1300GS. The materials used are now anodized aluminum, both for the exterior of the cases and top case and for the lid of the latter.

The Vario set is not only reliable and robust but also harmoniously integrates with the lines of the R1300GS. One of the major innovations this year is the complete electrification of this pack. This allows you to safely recharge your devices via a USB port located in the left case. For added convenience, BMW Motorrad has integrated automatic lighting into the cases and top case. Furthermore, thanks to the newly integrated electrical system, you benefit from centralized locking for all your luggage, with mechanical keys available if needed.

The volume of the cases and top case can now be continuously adjusted thanks to a wheel, allowing you to adjust the height or length of your luggage. The volume of the top case starts at 28 liters and can reach 32 liters. The left suitcase offers a space of 25 to 32 liters, while the right one varies between 24 and 30 liters. In total, this set offers a capacity of 94 liters, with the possibility to add up to 1 kg of additional load on each suitcase and 2 kg on the top case.

This Vario system, specifically adapted to the BMW R1300GS, allows you to ride at a maximum speed of 180 km/h.

Soft luggage for R1300GS: bag and pouch, a complement

After equipping your R1300GS with a top case and suitcases, if you are looking for a solution to increase your storage capacity or to transport some items without using the top case and suitcases systematically, BMW Motorrad offers several alternatives.

First, you can opt for the tank bags, which offer small-volume storage compartments to minimize bulkiness while keeping easy access to your personal items. Installing these bags is very simple with a strap attachment system, which saves you from needing to acquire an additional support or modify your bike.

For those who need space without being too loaded, the rear bags are an excellent option. They also attach with straps and do not require the purchase of supports or modifications on the bike. Available in two sizes, you can choose between a large model of 50 to 60 liters and a smaller model of 37 to 45 liters.

These bags are easily transportable thanks to a shoulder strap, handles, and even straps allowing them to be carried like a backpack. The volume of these bags can also be adjusted thanks to a zipper that allows for increased capacity.

Optimizing Your Luggage: a Properly Prepared R1300GS for Long Trips

When you equip your R1300GS with all the available accessories, you are ready for a multi-day road trip or a loaded ride. Whether you're planning a two-hour outing or a two-week adventure, it's crucial to properly balance your bike and follow BMW Motorrad's recommendations meticulously. For your information,your R1300GS cases have a loading capacity of 10 kg each, and for the R1300GS top case the mass must not exceed 6 kg. Additionally, it's possible to add a maximum load of 1 kg on each case and 2 kg on the top case.

The BMW R1300GS is an exceptional adventure bike. With it, you can explore the world while enjoying superior comfort and peace of mind necessary if you need to carry belongings. Additionally, with the Vario set for the R1300GS, you can leave your personal effects safely in your bike during your motorcycle breaks.
