Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 20, 2024. A total of 22 national teams, including six women's and 16 men's teams, will compete in the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2024 Namibia from September 15-20, 2024. The event will feature 60 riders relying on the new BMW R 1300 GS Trophy Competition Bike as they traverse Namibia.

The R 1300 GS Trophy Competition Bike has been developed exclusively for this event. It is equipped with accessories designed to excel in the competition. The bike features a powerful boxer engine, handlebar risers, engine protection bar, skid plate, frame guard, adjustable gear shift and brake levers, GS Vario rider footrests, enduro hand levers, headlight protection guard, and white handguard extensions.

The bike's aggressive off-road tires on black cross-spoke wheels and solo seat are tailored to handle the challenging terrain of the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2024 Namibia in East Africa. Although not available for sale in its exact form, the competition bike closely resembles the R 1300 GS Style GS Trophy model available at BMW Authorized dealers.

The Racing Blue metallic colour of the R 1300 GS Style GS Trophy model is complemented by red and white stripes and lettering. The matte white metallic painted rear frame enhances its sporty off-road appeal. The model also includes standard radiator guards to protect against damage and robust black cross-spoke wheels, which can be optionally ordered in gold colour.

The BMW F 900 GS Trophy Marshal Bike will be used by the GS Trophy Marshals to guide participants safely through Namibia's challenging terrain. This mid-size off-road motorcycle is based on the new F 900 GS and represents BMW Motorrad's premium offering in the Adventure segment.

With 105 hp and a significantly wider range of abilities due to enhanced off-road qualities and a weight reduction of 22 lbs compared to its predecessor, the F 900 GS Trophy Marshal Bike is well-suited for Namibia's terrain. Like the R 1300 GS Trophy Competition Bike, it is designed to perform exceptionally in demanding conditions.
