bmw r 1250 gs tft display made in china

BMW R1250GS and R1250GSA, including Rallye, TFT Display anti theft brace, TFT screen anti theft brace, TFT display screen protection, TFT display screen locking frame, fits all BMW R1250 GS LC and Adventure LC models. High grade 304 stainless steel construction. Designed and produced in the UK by craftsmen. Very robust, durable extremely high quality engineered product.

Regretfully the TFT display, which is standard equipment on all models of the BMW R1250GS and Adventure range, is only held in place by three circlips and a wiring plug, believe it or not! These units can be so easily removed by hand with minimal force and stolen in mere seconds, with a per unit replacement cost of around £1,200, often plus the additional cost of up to around £3000 to have the wiring loom replaced if this is also damaged beyond further use during the theft of the unit!

The idea of this product is to simply deter opportunist thieves from snatching your TFT display, and it works by physically preventing the display from being removed outwards from the dash. Even if the three circlips are removed the screen cannot physically be removed. The brace utilizes four strong mounting points and can be used in conjunction with the `preparation for satnav` bracket, and is also designed to be used in conjunction with the Cymarc adjustable screen strengthening brackets kit. The brace is easy to fit and is near impossible to remove without tools - which is the whole idea! It comes with a comprehensive installation leaflet and full fitting kit, and there is also now various installation videos on YouTube.

This is an extremely good value for money, and equally high quality product, powder coated satin black as standard so it looks very much at home on the bike and blends in like it is original equipment, and it could save you thousands of pounds in repairs and replacement display! There is a choice between the standard brace, or the brace with the optional built-in sun visor.

Very important, please remember to inform us if your bike DOES NOT have the `prep for satnav` bracket fitted as you will need our spacers to compensate for the bracket thickness. We will include them at no extra cost but we do need to know immediately upon ordering by way of a quick email with your name and order reference number. Additional postage charges will be incurred if these spacers have to be posted separately.

“Explore the unexpected” is the motto of the eighth edition of the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy, which will take place this September in Albania. Arguably one of the last still largely untouched off-road paradises in Europe, Albania is considered an insider’s tip for off-road riding, with incredibly rich flora, fauna and culture.

Now, after more than a year since announcing the upcoming GS Trophy’s location, BMW Motorrad is revealing the official bike participants will use to tackle Albania’s epic landscapes during the seven-day adventure. And no, we won’t see an updated F850GS model like the one chosen for the last GS Trophy in 2020. For the upcoming edition BMW is going bigger, with a competition-specific R 1250 GS featuring the flat-twin boxer engine. With 136 ponies and 105 lb-ft of torque, BMW says the flagship adventure bike “offers superior power delivery, beefy torque and maximum traction for the sometimes very demanding off-road passages, which often require riding in low gear.”

The 2022 R 1250 GS Trophy Competition bike features several changes such as black cross-spoke wheels with high-gloss stainless steel spokes that not only improve its looks but also its dirt-worthiness. The bike is also equipped with enduro footpegs from the R 1250 GS Adventure as well as adjustable gearshift and foot brake levers. The standard Karoo 3 rubber has also been replaced with Karoo 4 tires for better grip on difficult terrain.

To withstand the beating off-road, BMW has equipped the competition bikes with several protection parts including an enduro bash plate made of aluminum, a headlight protection guard, cylinder head covers, robust handguards, engine guards, and a TFT display that is secured against damage in a fall and from flying rocks.

As a practical storage option, the bike is outfitted with a 5-liter Adventure Collection tank bag which can also be used as a tail pack. A short sports windshield, rally seat with a stainless steel luggage bridge and Akrapovic silencer round off the equipment of the competition GS.

The look is completed with an exclusive two-tone paint finish in Lightwhite uni / Gravityblue metallic matte in combination with specially designed GS Trophy stickers. It remains to be seen whether BMW will opt to make changes to the standard 7.5” / 7.9” front and rear suspension with the stiffer ‘Sport Suspension’ option from the catalog which adds more travel and +0.8 inches of ground clearance.

This year, 126 models of the R 1250 GS Trophy Competition bike will be available to the participating enduro riders from all over the world. Based on past GS Trophy events, the most successful team will be the one that prepares the best, has the best teamwork and rides most skillfully, while enjoying the great rewards of international camaraderie.

The BMW R 1250 GS has been an iconic European bike for four decades and keeps inspiring with new features. It has maximum visibility thanks to a new LED adaptive headlight. With the help of supplementary features like seat heating and the seven riding modes, you can confidently handle any driving circumstance.

The boxer engine enables you to experience remarkable performance and increased smoothness at low rotational speeds. Greater control in any riding circumstance is made possible by the variable BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control, which enables more potent torque development over the whole engine speed range.

There are many choices within the BMW Adventure lineup, a standard GS is more tuned towards on-pavement riding with the ability for light offroad, and the Adventure is aimed at more serious off-road challenges. For the 2022 model year, BMW offers a wide range of configurations including the 40th Anniversary Editions.

Cast aluminium single-sided swing arm with BMW Motorrad Paralever; WAD strut (travel-related damping), spring pre-load hydraulically adjustable (continuously variable) at handwheel, rebound damping adjustable at handwheel

Tarmacked roads, wet roads or unpaved gravel roads: The seven riding modes of the R 1250 GS ensure optimum grip and superior handling at all times. When the vehicle is stationary, you can pre-select up to four riding modes individually in the menu, which you can then select quickly and conveniently during the journey using the riding mode button. The new dynamic engine brake control provides more stability and easy control of the bike in the Pro riding modes; it prevents the rear wheel from slipping or jerking. And in the new standard ECO Mode, you get the maximum range from every tank of fuel.

The perfect illumination for every curve: The adaptive headlights switch on automatically when the vehicle is tilted, providing optimum illumination of bends depending on gradient and payload – a significant plus in terms of safety and comfort. The multifunctional rear LED flashing turn indicators ensure an eye-catching appearance and even greater visibility.

The BMW R 1250 GS is one of the most recognizable motorcycles ever made, and one of the highlights of the 2021 BMW line-up. This European-made motorcycle is the gold standard for adventure-focused touring motorcycles and it has a long and illustrious history. In fact, the 2021 BMW R 1250 GS has a 40th-anniversary option too.

The R 1250 GS uses the same tried and tested boxer engine that’s used by many BMW motorcycles: it’s a 1,254 cc horizontally-opposed flat-twin that produces an impressive 136 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers the perfect combination of off- and on-road performance, for everyday commuting or serious adventuring.

Standard equipment includes BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Pro, 3 riding modes (ECO, Raid, Road), Hill Start Control, Dynamic Traction Control, and cool features such as a connected TFT display, LED headlights, and USB charging. However, adventurers would do well to take advantage of the optional accessories for the R 1250 GS. These include Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment, enduro ergonomics, additional ride modes, heated seats, and milled parts, to name a few.

For 2021, the R 1250 GS is available in four color options. These include Triple Black, Light White, a combination of Light White/Racing Blue Metallic and Racing Red, or a special edition black and yellow design that celebrates 40 years of the GS designation.

Over the past few years, the Chinese have been making a push into the adventure market with a few different models that represent a wide range of takes on what the modern adventure bike is and it’s clear the average adventure bike is improving step-by-step.

Chinese manufacturers pump out an insane number of motorcycles a year to the domestic and international markets. The internet tells me I can lose weight if I buy an Abdominator Pro and drink only silkworm urine for a month – it also tells me that in 2019 China produced around 17 million motorcycles, backed by a rapid growth of electric bike sales (chinamotorworld.com) which sees around 350 million people choosing an electric bike for transport.

In January 2021 alone, the production and sales of electric motorcycles reached 321,700 units and 306,100 units, which represented a year-on-year increase of 159.87% and 200.87%, respectively. To be clear, this has nothing to do with e-bikes which also sell like crazy, these are mostly electric scooters of which some have progressed technologically to the point of being connected to the Alibaba Cloud.

But Hungry Jacks make hundreds of thousands of fries every day and let’s be honest, they’re shithouse compared to Maccas. Numbers don’t maketh the motorcycle greateth.

China has about 200 motorcycle manufacturers slaving away to bring people the joys of hitting powerband on a Beijing street. Many of the larger ones are engaged in joint ventures with better-known brands like Jianshe which has a deal with Yamaha, or Loncin which is beasties with BMW and CFMoto which is in close contact with KTM and its Kiska design house. Some brands perhaps more familiar to us are in fact all Chinese with SWM being owned and built by Shineray, while Benelli is actually Qianjiang.

Chinese motorcycles have a long way to go before they’re able to compete with the Japanese and Europeans in both upper-end quality and dealer networks in western countries, but small steps are being taken towards building a bike that will be capable off-road so let’s take a look at a few of the offerings, some available here and some not, for 2021.

Let’s take the Benelli TRK 502X for example. I’ve ridden it quite a bit on and off-road and can confirm that it has quite a fun little engine that’s on fuel. It doesn’t like going around corners on dirt roads though. It’s comfortable even on long days, but components fall off it with little encouragement.

It’s a really nice-looking bike that doesn’t quite meet the marketing hype of a bike, “Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding riders who wish to travel without boundaries,” because definitely has boundaries that you don’t have to be demanding to reach. But for $9,890 ride-away, it’s a great commuter with a two-year warranty and a choice of four colourways. I couldn’t love it, but I can’t hate it.

CFMoto’s upcoming MT800 looks like it will be the spearhead for future adventure efforts with an engine straight out of the KTM 790 Adventure as well as KYB suspension (read more about it here). The bike is a big statement and while pricing is yet to be released, if it comes in substantially less than $15,000 then it will find willing wallets keen to empty themselves straight away.

There are a heap of bikes getting around with names like M1nsk’s TRX 300i, the Sinnis Terrain 380, CSC RX3 or the Cyclone RX3 but they’re all built by Zongshen and based on the company’s RX3 or RX3S models.

It has decent styling and at first sight, it looks like it’s been fitted out well with crash bars, panniers and a decent screen and at a reported price of just over $4000 in the US, it’s undeniably cheap. But the build quality and performance off-road is dubious at best.

eveRide ADV in the States did a great, even-handed test on an RX3 he actually bought and came to the same conclusions after some time behind the bars. You can check that out below.

In 2017 Zongshen entered the Dakar rally on their then-new NC450 Rally bike. None of the five bikes finished but to the company’s credit only one through a mechanical issue. The engine was then placed in the RX4, Zongshen’s flagship adventure model. They sell in the US as a CSC RX4 at just 4,995.00 and it comes with a 7-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity as well as LED lighting, adjustable windscreen, spoked wheels, bashplate and crash bars and topped off with a three-piece pannier set. That’s the equivalent of an adventure bike family meal.

Of course, none of the inclusions matter if it can’t corner on the dirt and the cheaper price point may suggest that Zongshen has skimped on the most expensive aspect which is good engineering. There’s a lot of science that goes into ensuring an R 1250 GS or an 890 Adventure R can corner and teams of engineers don’t come cheap.

If this hit Australia at less than $7000 it’d be a decent starting point for someone with a wallet unburdened with mounds of cash. If something breaks it should be cheap to replace (and hopefully no great waiting time), and if it gets one more rider out and about with an acceptable degree of reliability then it’s a good thing.

Loncin is a massive company with fingers in many dumplings. It produces around 2.5 million motorcycles a year which is close to 7000 bikes a day. They also started making engines for BMW’s G650GS in 2005 and in fact, the current F 850 GS runs an engine built by Loncin. Voge is reportedly the company’s premium brand and the 650DS is the bike they’re hoping will grab the dirt squirter’s attention the world over running that same engine from the G650GS.

It promises a TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, BOSCH EFI, tubeless tyres, spoked wheels and LED lights as well as a power output of 49 horsepower and a weight of 192 kilograms. The 650DS appears to be a step forward from the Loncin DS8 that debuted in 2018, also with the G650GS engine but with less refined styling.
