BMW R 1300 R Titan Custom Bike Breaks Cover, Here's What It Gets

BMW Motorrad has taken the wraps off the R 1300 R Titan custom bike. Though the motorcycle is not for sale, the brand took the project for internal experimentation. A group of BMW Motorrad employees had the opportunity to bring this passion to life. Philipp Ludwig served as project manager, vehicle designer Andreas Martin, Theresa Stukenbrock as colour and graphic designer, and prototype builders Paul Summerer and Thomas Becker, who brought their experience and passion to the project.

BMW R 1300 R Titan Exhaust

The BMW R 1300 R Titan incorporates the basic design elements of the standard bike into a more stylised and aggressive appeal. The characteristic lines of the BMW R 1300 R tank and fairing are reflected in the monocoque typical of racing machines, and the striking air duct panel of the standard machine continues the dynamics of the "Titan" in an exaggerated sense. Also, the weight is pushed over the front wheel to keep it on the tarmac for as long as possible when starting off.

The underpinnings of the BMW R 1300 R Titan have a low profile on the tarmac, supported by a specially manufactured Wilbers chassis with a long swinging arm, a nitrous oxide bottle sits between the two titanium rear silencers, and more. Also, the brand claims that the gears slot into place precisely, and the Magura HC3 brake lever recaptures the released energy after the finish line, decelerating the bike to a stop.

Beneath the BMW Titan's aggressive silhouette lies the familiar 1300cc boxer engine from the R 1300 R, originally rated at 145 hp and 149 Nm. But thanks to radical custom upgrades including a nitrous oxide injection system and titanium exhaust, the Titan unleashes a significantly boosted performance that takes this beast well beyond stock limits.
