This Badass Enduro Kit Turns The BMW R1300 GS Into The Rally Bike It Pretends To Be

Big adventure bikes are weird, right? They’re supposed to be globe-trotting dirt weapons, yet most of them spend their lives commuting, touring, or parked outside coffee shops. Still, the segment keeps growing. Riders love the idea that one machine can cross continents, hit a fire road, and still cruise at 80 miles per hour in comfort.

The modern ADV boom didn’t happen by accident. Bikes like the old R80 GS rewrote the rulebook back in the day, and every generation since has added more power, more electronics, and more comfort. The latest R 1300 GS is peak evolution. It’s lighter, smarter, and makes serious grunt from its 1,300cc boxer twin. But like most big ADV bikes, it’s still a compromise between dirt fantasy and road reality.

That’s where Wunderlich steps in.

If you’re not familiar, Wunderlich is a German accessories specialist that’s been obsessing over BMW boxers for decades. They don’t build bikes from scratch. They tweak them, refine them, and sometimes push them closer to what riders think they bought in the first place. And the Edition X Enduro kit is basically that philosophy distilled into one idea.

For starters, Wunderlich ditches the sculpted, stepped stock saddle and replaces it with a flatter, rally-style layout. It sounds minor, but it changes how the whole bike rides. A flat seat lets you move around. Slide forward for tight turns. Shift back for traction. Pop up to stand without fighting a raised lip behind you. On a bike that weighs well over 500 pounds fully fueled, being able to reposition your body easily is a massive deal.

Once you notice that, the rest of the kit starts to make sense. Out back, there’s a slimmed-down tail conversion that cleans up the rear end. The exhaust riser angles the stock silencer upward by 18 degrees, giving the bike that Dakar silhouette without messing with emissions or noise compliance. There’s also a high-mounted number plate holder that sharpens the stance, though it won’t play nice with certain rider-assist systems.

Under your boots, the Ultimate stainless steel footrests swap out the narrow factory pegs for a wider platform. More surface area means better support when you’re standing, and less concentrated vibration through your feet at highway speeds. It’s a small change that makes long days and rough trails less tiring.

Visually, a black tank fairing cover replaces the stock one and protects the OE panel underneath. In Trophy or Triple Black trim, the whole bike looks leaner and more intentional. Less touring sofa, more rally pedigree.

That being said, the full kit comes in at $3,119.95, and parts are available individually. That's good, because not everyone wants the full transformation. Some riders just want the ergonomics. Meanwhile, others might just want the look.

At the end of the day, what Wunderlich has really done here isn’t build a faster GS or a lighter one. They’ve leaned into the emotional side of the adventure segment. The fantasy. The idea that your big boxer isn’t just capable, but ready for anything the road (or trail) might throw at it.
