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 closer look at the machine: an architecture built for real adventure<\/h3>\n

Full protection as standard<\/strong>
\nWhere previous generations could leave the cylinder heads exposed \u2014 Adrien knows this first-hand, having seen a cylinder head pierced in a fall on a rocky track \u2014 the R 1300 GS Adventure takes a proactive approach. An aluminium engine bash plate as standard, two-piece crash bars forming a partial protective cage<\/strong>: this motorcycle is built to take a tumble without losing its vital organs. That is not a minor detail \u2014 it is a philosophy.
\nThe crash bars also serve a practical purpose off-road: when the bike tips over, the protruding cylinders prevent it from lying flat on the ground, creating a natural tilt. The result: picking the bike back up is far less of an ordeal for the rider.<\/p>\n

A 30-litre tank \u2014 freedom without compromise<\/strong>
\n30 litres. That is 11 litres more than the standard GS. And in Corsica, where some back roads leave any petrol station far behind for tens of kilometres at a stretch, that 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>
\nThe new Evo Telelever front and Evo Paralever rear systems have been thoroughly redesigned. The Telelever has gained in kinematic precision, feeding back sharper, less filtered information \u2014 a quality felt immediately on tarmac, and even more so off-road. 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 the suspension electronically in real time, responding to riding mode, payload and road conditions. Solo, two-up, fully loaded: the dampers adapt on their own.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics and accessibility for all rider profiles<\/strong>
\nThe adaptive ride height system can lower 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. The GS Adventure remains a large-format motorcycle \u2014 but it can now accommodate a much wider range of rider profiles.<\/p>\n

Luggage fitted in under a minute<\/strong>
\nThe aluminium panniers mount and dismount without tools, in a matter of seconds. That is time saved when configuring the bike in our workshop according to the chosen option. The top case takes a full-face helmet. The GS Adventure is built to travel. Genuinely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

This is the defining innovation of this generation, and very likely the one that will be talked about for years to come. The ASA gearbox \u2014 Automated Shift Assistant \u2014 is fitted to our model, and it fundamentally transforms the riding experience.<\/strong>
\nHow it works<\/strong>
\nForget the clutch lever. It simply is not there. The traditional mechanical gearbox is retained, but two electromechanical actuators take care of clutch operation and gear selection on your behalf. You keep a foot-operated gear selector \u2014 BMW speaks of a shift assistant<\/em>, not a pure automatic in the conventional sense.
\nTwo modes are available:<\/p>\n
