BMW Motorrad presents the GS Trophy Competition Bike - the BMW R 12 G/S
Authentic off-road performance for the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2026 Romania.
When the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2026 returns to Europe in late summer 2026, the country teams will encounter Romania’s spectacular natural landscapes, rugged terrain and deeply rooted culture. The impressive diversity of the scenery is made for authentic off-road adventures — through mountains, forests, rivers, and villages where time seems to stand still. The teams can expect a setting that demands riding skill, precision and the ultimate piece of equipment:
the BMW R 12 G/S GS Trophy Competition Bike.
The GS Trophy Competition Bike, designed exclusively for this competition — which has been held since 2008 — is based on the BMW R 12 G/S and fully equipped for any off-road adventure thanks to its specific range of accessories.
The equipment of this special BMW R 12 G/S includes, among other features, the Comfort Package, comprising Hill Start Control, Gear Shift Assist Pro, heated grips and cruise control. Additional components include Headlight Pro (adaptive cornering light), Riding Modes Pro, and the Enduro Package Pro with off-road tires, an 18-inch rear wheel and handlebar risers. Engine protection bars, cylinder head covers, a Rally cockpit fairing, navigation preparation, an Akrapovič silencer, and a 5-litre tank bag, used as a rear bag, complete the extensive equipment specification of the
BMW R 12 G/S GS Trophy Competition Bike.
The GS Trophy Competition Bike can be configured—apart from a few details—based on the BMW R 12 G/S.
Although this competition machine is not available for purchase in exactly this form, customers can recreate it on the basis of the BMW R 12 G/S, with only minor differences such as the decals.
The base colour is Lightwhite uni, as the blue tank tapes and the red seat bring the BMW Motorrad Motorsport DNA to life, clearly expressing its sporting purpose in off-road use — just as the teams will experience it in the wild landscapes of Romania.
