SW-Motech Tank Bags and Protection for BMW R 1300 GS

SW-Motech Tank Bags and Protection for BMW R 1300 GSTank Ring, Tank Bags and Engine Bars are first in range of accessories for the new 1300 GS

SW-Motech are quick off the block, with a range of practical accessories for the latest incarnation of BMW’s best-selling adventure sport bike.

Number one on the list for most riders is luggage capacity and the PRO Tank Ringmakes carrying handy items easy.

The proven system features a magnetic guide – developed by Fidlock – which steers the bag into position on the tank ring for uber-quick mounting. The locking mechanism then clicks firmly into place, for a fuss-free fit every time; it can even be done one-handed. Removing it, for refuelling and at stops, is just as simple.

The Tank Ring is fully compatible with all PRO Tank Bags, including the PRO GS Tank Bag. Designed specifically for adventure bikes like the BMW R 1300 GS, with its steeply sloped fuel tank, the GS Tank Bag has a sturdy EVA plastic base that maintains its shape even when packed full. The factory-fitted upper ring guide rail allows for the tank bag to slide backwards and forwards to suit the ergonomic needs of the rider and shape of the tank. Only the PRO tank bags offer this flexibility.

This stable tank bag offers a generous 20 litres of storage, making it the perfect companion for long journeys. Crafted with durable ballistic nylon, the PRO GS is built to withstand the elements. The laminated EVA top adds a distinctive shape and provides a secure platform for your smartphone or tablet holder, thanks to the integrated MOLLE system.

There are two external pockets, mesh compartments in the interior to keep things tidy, cable feed-through inlets on the front and rear and a rain cover for use in adverse conditions.

SW-Motech’s engineers have also been quick off the mark with Upper and Lower Crash Bars for the new GS.

Made from heavy-duty steel tubing, they form a protective barrier around the fuel tank, fairing and the Boxer Twin’s vulnerable cylinder heads.

Each set is tailor made in SW-Motech’s European factory, and fixes to existing points on the bike – no drilling or additional brackets needed. They add minimal width, so they won’t affect handling or cornering.

The bars are powder coated to prevent corrosion and blend in with the Beemer’s styling. Surface finishing is carried out in SW-Motech’s own state-of-the-art facility in the Czech Republic, to guarantee quality and consistency.

Prices (including VAT) are as follows:

  • PRO Tank Ring – £32.34
  • PRO GS Tank Bag – £222.95
  • Upper Crash Bars – £221.76
  • Lower Crash Bars – £249.48

Additional accessories for the GS will be added to the catalogue in the coming months.

Robust, weather-resistant and tailor-made to fit perfectly, SW-Motech Crash Bars are an essential addition to adventure bikes, guarding against costly and potentially journey-ending damage.

NEW SW-Motech Variable Bar Backs

Dial-in day-long comfort with SW-Motech’s new Variable Bar Backs, which allow handlebars to be set to seven different positions in seconds.

Bringing welcome relief from ‘one size fits all’ riding positions, Bar Backs allow handlebars to be pulled back or moved forwards by up to 35 mm – in 5 mm increments – so riders of different shapes and sizes can find their most comfortable position.

They also enable riders to adjust the bars to suit sport, touring and off-road riding.

Unlike fixed ‘up and overs’ or risers, the adjustment allows fine tuning of the upper body position, reducing aches and pains in the back, shoulders and wrist – particularly problematic on longer journeys.

Bar backs also come with a choice of 25, 28 or 30mm of rise for added comfort.

There’s no need to remove and remount the bars, or the Bar Backs themselves, to adjust: simply loosen the allen-key fixing, slide the handlebars to the required position and retighten to secure. Each 5mm increment is engraved into the side, so positioning can be clearly seen.

Their clever design means even the maximum amount of movement won’t affect steering or overstretch cables and hoses – or require the buying and fitting of replacements.

CNC-milled from high-strength aluminium alloy and anodized in a choice of Black, Silver and Anthracite finishes, they fit pretty much any bike with regular handlebar clamps and are available for 22, 28 and 32 mm diameter bars.

SW-Motech Variable Bar Backs retail at £146.88 per pair including VAT.
