BMW R 1300 GS Adventure ASA Full Options Triple Black: the queen of adventure joins the Moto Corse Evasion fleet<\/h2>\n

Some moments in the life of a motorcycle rental agency leave a lasting mark. The arrival of the new BMW R 1300 GS Adventure Full Options Triple Black \u2014 featuring the revolutionary ASA automated gearbox \u2014 is undoubtedly one of them.<\/strong> Adrien, owner of Moto Corse Evasion, takes you through his discovery of an extraordinary machine, from first impressions to the winding roads of the Island of Beauty.<\/p>\n

First impressions: when the GS arrives at the agency<\/h3>\n

Resting on its centre stand in the middle of the agency, this BMW R 1300 GS Adventure commands a presence that very few motorcycles can match.
\nIts imposing silhouette and the blend of sweeping curves and sharp angles give it a singular set of proportions \u2014 most notably in the way the boxer cylinders thrust outward on either side, as if claiming ownership of the space around them. A character trait found nowhere else in the world of two wheels.
\nThe GS makes no attempt to conform to any standard. It breaks away from convention and trend alike, offering its own definition of design. Above all, it is built to go anywhere, to last, to protect, to perform. And on that front, the new R 1300 generation does far more than simply push the envelope \u2014 it rewrites the rulebook entirely.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E_CjOxEOib8″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

A tour of the machine: an architecture built for real adventure<\/h3>\n

Full protection as standard<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where previous generations could leave the cylinder head vulnerable \u2014 Adrien knows this firsthand, having seen a cylinder head punctured during a fall on a rocky track \u2014 the R 1300 GS Adventure comes prepared. Aluminium engine skid plate as standard, two-part crash bars forming a partial protective cage<\/strong>: this bike is built to take a fall without losing any vital components. That’s not a minor detail \u2014 it’s a philosophy.
\nThe crash bars are your safety partner: when the bike tips over, they prevent it from lying flat on the ground, thanks to the protruding cylinders that create a natural lean angle. The result: getting the bike back upright is infinitely less of an ordeal for the rider.<\/p>\n

A 30-litre tank \u2014 freedom without having to calculate<\/strong><\/p>\n

30 litres. That’s 11 litres more than the standard GS version. And in Corsica, where some back roads can stretch dozens of kilometres away from the nearest petrol station, this figure changes the very nature of the journey. With a range approaching 600 km, you stop thinking about fuel. You think about the road.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evo suspension: 210 mm front, 220 mm rear<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Evo Telelever system at the front and Evo Paralever at the rear have been thoroughly reworked. The Telelever has gained in kinematic precision to feed back more accurate, less filtered information \u2014 a quality you feel immediately on the road, and even more so off it. The Adventure benefits from 20 mm of additional travel compared to the standard GS<\/strong>, for greater progressiveness on rough terrain.
\nThe DSA (Dynamic Suspension Adjustment) system manages these suspensions electronically, in real time, based on riding mode, load carried, and road conditions. Solo, two-up, with luggage: the dampers adjust by themselves.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics and accessibility for all builds<\/strong><\/p>\n

The adaptive ride height adjuster lowers the seat height by 30 mm when stationary and at low speed<\/strong>, allowing a rider of 1.75 m to place both feet flat on the ground. Combined with the scooped comfort rider seat, this goes down to 1.70 m. The GS Adventure remains a large-format motorcycle \u2014 but it can now accommodate a much wider range of rider profiles.<\/p>\n

A detail Adrien noticed:<\/strong> The 1300 GSA was built on the same platform as the standard 1300 GS, and the side stands are identical, which from the factory makes the bike more difficult to lift off the side stand. We have fitted our 1300 Adventures with a 25 mm side stand raiser, and it makes a real difference!<\/p>\n

Luggage fitted in under a minute<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aluminium panniers mount and dismount without tools, in seconds. That saves valuable time when configuring the bike in our workshop according to your chosen option. The top case fits a full-face helmet. The GS Adventure is built for travelling. Genuinely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASA revolution: riding without a clutch lever<\/h3>\n

This is the headline innovation of this generation, and it’s likely the one that will generate the most conversation in the years ahead. The ASA gearbox \u2014 Automated Shift Assistant \u2014 is fitted to our model, and it fundamentally changes the riding experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forget the clutch lever. It simply isn’t there. The traditional mechanical gearbox is retained, but two electromechanical actuators take care of the clutch and gear selection on your behalf. You keep a foot selector \u2014 BMW refers to it as a shift assistant<\/em>, not a true automatic in the conventional sense.
\nTwo modes are available:<\/p>\n
