The new K 1300 R dominates every environment in which it appears. Its futuristic appearance and powerful presence draw the gaze of everyone, whatever their age or gender. A challenge for the AC Schnitzer engineers: to make the extreme more extreme, and harness all the senses of the rider and observer - because the AC Schnitzer K 1300 R stands out from the crowd.

A real racing look and flowing transitions are achieved on the AC Schnitzer K 1300 R by the cockpit and lamp trim, the front spoiler and the pillion cover. In their design, priority was given to perfect fit and simple installation while retaining the powerful styling lines. The engine spoiler is totally new and guarantees adequate ground clearance for every setting of the ESA suspension.


Delicate spokes and optimum weight are combined in the ultralight ACS I forged wheels in sizes 3.5, 5.5 & 6.0 x 17“. A set weighs less than 8 kg. Fitted in conjunction with the Superbike handlebar conversion, the result is better machine control and optimum cornering behaviour. The aim in development of the superbike handlebar conversion was to ensure the complete control essential for top performance. This conversion is also available for the BMW K 1300 S.

The necessary deep note is provided by the high performance racing exhaust made fully from titanium or stainless steel, which supplies that powerful extra boost in racing. For road use, there is the new AC Schnitzer STEALTH silencer with EC approval and removable DB Killer, available with catalyst, to give the AC Schnitzer K 1300 R the final visual and acoustic touches on the road.


A new design of universal crashpad is also available, together with various designs of crashpads in aluminium or nylon/aluminium mix. Tested clutch and brake levers of highstrength aeronautical aluminium not only look sophisticated, but are also adjustable over a wide range. These are also available for the complete F 800 series and for many other BMW models. Good rearward visibility is ensured by the AC Schnitzer mirror extensions available for the entire BMW range
