BMW R 1300 RT

Working on the BMW R 1300 RT, we focused on combining touring comfort, aerodynamics and pure technical expression. Our task was to support the philosophy of a motorcycle that is not just about getting from point A to point B, but about riding comfortably and confidently across continents. We aimed to visually lighten the bulky body, fine-tune the proportions and integrate functional elements into an elegant form. The aim was to give customers a sense of security, control and superior comfort – without sacrificing the character of the machine. The BMW R 1300 RT combines the power of a boxer engine, modern technology and a design that is both elegant and determined. We have worked on every detail to support this balance – between performance and peace of mind, between protection and freedom.

A combination of travel comfort, aerodynamics and pure technical expression

Designing a touring motorcycle like the BMW R 1300 RT was a challenge for us in terms of balance – between volume and lightness, function and aesthetics, protection and emotion. We needed to create a form that would look elegant even with the large fairing, while at the same time not hinder the perception of the performance that the motorcycle hides.
