BMW Motorrad is the first manufacturer to provide the "intelligent emergency call" ex factory: a system fitted firmly on the handlebar, which in case of emergency can independently and automatically trigger the rescue chain and in so doing facilitate faster aid from the emergency services.
The Keyless Ride system replaces the conventional ignition steering lock. This means that it is no longer necessary to use a key. Unlocking and locking of the steering lock, ignition, fuel filler flap and storage compartments is carried out using a transponder integrated into the key. So you can leave the key conveniently in your jacket or trouser pocket and perform all functions simply by pressing a button – Keyless Ride works at a distance of up to 2 meters. A clear advantage in terms of convenience.
Convenient and fast at the same time – the Pro shift assistant. Shift up and down in almost all load and engine speed ranges without even having to touch the clutch or the throttle (70-80% of all gearshifts can be performed without the clutch). The shift assistant was originally developed in racing and has now been adapted for use in the touring sector. The advantages: more convenience with increased speed at the same time and reduced shifting time compared to a gearshift using the clutch.
The audio system with radio function has interfaces for MP3 players, iPods and USB sticks. It is operated using the multi-controller on the handlebar or the radio control panel. The info screen displays the media input source, current song title or volume.
