This year’s competition bike for the Int. GS Trophy 2026 in Romania will be none other than the BMW R 12 G/S! Nothing seems impossible with this bike: Be it hills, water or gravel – the R 12 G/S is ready to go wild. This bike will accompany our teams on their journey through Romania, conquering all kinds of terrain.
With the BMW R 12 G/S, the participants of the Int. GS Trophy 2026 will have a highly competent off-road partner at their side. Stripped back to the essentials and built for real terrain, it wins riders over with its air/oil-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine, responsive nature and a setup that offers the maximum level of control.
Although the official bike will be available only to the participants of the Int. GS Trophy 2026, the BMW R 12 G/S lets you recreate almost exactly the same experience at home for yourself.
Ready to go wild.
’Its sleek design meets carefully constructed enduro ergonomics, creating the perfect circumstances for demanding off-road journeys. The fully adjustable suspension with 210/200 mm of spring travel and 240 mm of ground clearance lets you clear even the biggest obstacles with ease. The flat solo seat and precise tank geometry allow for the maximum level of control when standing. With an 18” rear wheel, off-road tyres, enduro footrests, engine guard and ENDURO PRO mode, the R 12 G/S is designed for off-road performance across the board. Ready for the adventure that awaits us in Romania.
