BMW's Automated Shift Assistant brings clutchless shifting to the world's benchmark adventure bike. Choose full-auto or trigger-shift; the boxer does the rest.
Faster, lighter-feeling and sharper than the GS has ever been, with that characterful boxer torque and class-leading electronics. It simply does everything brilliantly.
BMW's Automated Shift Assistant offers full-auto or trigger-shift gear changes with no clutch lever, removing the last bit of effort from an already supremely capable machine.
Build quality and tech are superb and residuals are strong. The catch is cost — the price climbs quickly through BMW's options list — and the tall stance for shorter riders.
The GS was already the default big adventure bike; ASA removes the last bit of effort. Tech-laden, brilliantly capable, and seriously quick.
