BMW’s R 1250 GS is one of the most popular adventure bikes of the modern era. Everyone from casual riders who consider trips to their local Starbucks an “adventure,” to die-hard adventurers who go on multi-day trips off the grid appreciate this German marvel of engineering. Needless to say, when BMW unveiled its successor, the R 1300 GS, the adventure world went nuts.
As is the case with BMW, all of its bikes are extremely good at doing what they’re designed to do. In the case of the new R 1300 GS, it recently proved itself as an exceptional off-road performer. Nevado Ojos del Salado, situated at the border of Argentina and Chile, is the highest active volcano in the world with an elevation of 6,893 meters. It was precisely the height and thrill of this challenge that allured BMW, as it sent a fleet of brand spanking new R 1300 GS adventure bikes to climb the volcano.
