Touratech Releases Range of Accessories For The New BMW R1300GS
A wide line of products to make BMW's all-new adventurer even more versatile.
It’s only been a few weeks since the unveiling of the next-gen BMW R1300GS but Touratech’s close relationship with the fellow German manufacturer has allowed them to release a wide range of products for the all-new model almost right away.
The product range includes accessories designed to improve ergonomics, protect the motorcycle, and carry gear. Below are the highlights:
Zega Evo Pannier System
The Evo Panniers offer waterproof storage with a tough tongue-and-groove aluminum edge and integrated silicone seal while providing the convenience of a quick-mount mechanism. Finger-friendly latches with ergonomic die-forged release mechanisms make lid operation smoother plus included ergonomic handles make carrying the cases off the bike easier than ever. The box can be further secured from theft or tampering by using the included keyed locks. The system is available in 31, 38 and 45 liter sizes. Retail $1,939
Zega Pro Pannier System
The Zega Pro Panniers provide water-proof storage using also a deep groove aluminum interface with silicone seal. The solid aluminum construction made from 1.5mm aluminum with welded and stainless steel rivet construction offers a range of bolt-on accessories to extend the capacity and utility of the boxes. The system is available in 31, 38 and 45 liter sizes. Retail $1,499
Expedition Skid Plate
The Expedition Skid Plate protects the engine with heavy gauge 4mm welded aluminum and stainless steel support. Removable Poly sliders absorb impact, protect bolt heads and provide a slide surface while its low profile design maximizes ground clearance. Available in Silver or Black finish. Retail $489.95
Crash Bars
This bike needs crash bars to protect the exposed cylinders and valve covers, which can hit the ground when the bike goes down. Made from 1-inch stainless steel tubing, Touratech Engine Crash Bars provide a cage that wraps around the cylinder and valve covers to protect them from the ground or other hazards. Touratech says their engineers took great care to design the bars in tight to keep the bike narrow for navigating obstacles and also to preserve lean angle. Available in Silver, electropolished finish or Black, epoxy-coated finish. Retail $489.95
Pannier Racks
The same technology that is used in the pannier racks is also used in the Touratech Crash Bars and the main frame of the BMW R1300GS itself: 3-dimensionally shaped assemblies, with the 18×2 mm stainless steel tubes being reinforced with 3D elements made of 2 and 3 mm thick stainless-steel sheets. This type of construction ensures greater stability while also being lighter. Available in Silver, electropolished finish or Black, epoxy-coated finish. Retail $439.00
Upper Crash Bars
Considering the cost of BMW replacement plastics, and how critical the radiator is to a water-cooled boxer engine, upper crash bars are a priority for the BMW R1300GS. Available for both OEM BMW or Touratech Engine Crash Bars, the crash bars are made of 25mm diameter, 2mm wall thickness stainless steel tubing. Available in Silver, electropolished finish or Black, epoxy-coated finish Retail $489.95
BMW Vario Luggage Liner Bags
The R1300GS Vario Luggage Liner Bags feature an all-around expansion zipper that increases the capacity along with the stock Vario cases they are designed for. The main compartment zipper can be opened while they are inside the hard case, allowing you to access the contents without removing the liner from the bag. A handy shoulder strap helps when carrying your luggage into the hotel room or to your tent. Retail $159.95
Quick-Release Headlight Guard
Designed to protect the glass but also accent the styling of the front LED. Riders can quickly remove the guard to wipe the dust off the glass and snap it back into place without even taking off riding gloves. Available in black powder-coated stainless steel. Retail $179.95
Radiator Guards
The Touratech Radiator Guards for the BMW R1300GS offer robust protection for a critical system. The laser-cut aluminum guards are engineered to protect the radiators from flying rocks or debris while ensuring enough air-flow to keep the engine at a safe operating temperature. The louvered-fin design and black anodized finish accentuate the design of this modern adventure machine. Retail $169.95
Folding Mirrors
The Touratech Folding Mirrors can be folded in on-the-fly to avoid them getting caught in branches or foliage while on the trail. Once on the highway again, the rider can quickly fold them back out and they are still adjusted properly. The folding mirrors also hold their position at highway speeds all day long. Retail $99.90 (set of 2)
Extreme Waterproof Expandable Tank Bag
Designed for quick access to essential items like phone chargers, sunglasses, pocketknife, headlamp, and more. The bottom of this tank bag is shaped to fit the unique shape of the R1300GS maximizing stability and use of space. Volume can be increased on-demand with the expansion zipper adding to capacity when the rider needs it. The removable map case on top has a clear window allowing visibility of a map or who is calling by phone. Retail $379.95
Large Sidestand Foot
Soft forest ground, grass or loose gravel might just allow a R1300GS to tip over on its own when the side stand sinks into the ground. This can be prevented with the Large Sidestand Foot which provides much more surface area. Retail $79.95
Rear Splash Guard
Riding in the rain and bad weather, can produce annoying road spray from the rear tire covering everything with dirty road grime. Made of laser-cut aluminum plate, the Touratech Rear Splash Guard extends the original tailpiece on the BMW R1300GS with a nicely finished black anodized aluminum plate, stopping mud spray from the rear tire. Retail $69.95

$500 for a skid plate is not expensive enough, they need to offer this with gold plating.
Every time I see Touratech and BMW in the same sentence I think of the Bolivian woman who was interviewed about the ADV riders that passed through her country. She said “I see a lot of wealthy Germans on Touratech equipped BMWs and Americans on mean looking KLRs”
