Exhausts Bmw R 1200 GS 2010-2012

The 1,170 cc DOHC boxer engine fitted to the R 1200 GS 2010-2012 marks a turning point in the history of the GS platform: compared to the previous single-camshaft engine, the new twin-cam head with radially arranged valves raised the rev limit to 8,500 rpm and brought power output to 110 hp. This generation — nicknamed "Camhead" by enthusiasts — retains the air/oil cooling and shaft drive, but with a broader powerband and sharper throttle response that make it more versatile on both tarmac and off-road. For those looking to customise the exhaust setup on their GS, our catalogue of exhausts for BMW includes several solutions designed for this model.

The silencers listed on this page are designed as a replacement for the original end can on the R 1200 GS 2010-2012, with a lateral outlet. This is not a full exhaust system: the original headers and catalytic converter remain in place. The silencer fits onto the original mounting points with no modifications to the exhaust layout, and every product is shipped with the fitting kit required for installation. We nevertheless recommend having the work carried out by a qualified mechanic, particularly to ensure correct torque settings and proper alignment of the end can.

In practical terms, the first noticeable benefit is the weight saving: the original silencer on the GS is quite bulky, and an aftermarket unit in stainless steel or titanium significantly reduces mass at the rear of the motorcycle. On top of that, there is a change in exhaust note: the air-cooled boxer already has a distinctive voice of its own, and a different end can makes the sound fuller and more defined without turning it into something excessive or intrusive. We do not claim any power gains, because replacing the silencer alone has a marginal effect on performance: the real improvement lies in the acoustic experience and the weight reduction.

All our silencers are the result of handcrafted manufacturing in Lombardy, at our facility in the province of Bergamo. Each unit is built to order and undergoes in-house quality control before dispatch. This approach allows us to guarantee attention to build detail and consistency between what you see in the photos and what you receive at home. As a direct from the manufacturer sale, there are no intermediaries between us and the end customer.

Every silencer is supplied with a standard dB killer fitted. The dB killer is not officially removable: its removal invalidates the product's type approval. For those who want even quieter operation, on selected models the No-Noise version is available — a welded internal baffle that further reduces decibel levels without significantly affecting performance. This option, where available, can be selected directly on the product page.

Since only the end can is being replaced, modifications to the ECU mapping are not normally required. The engine management system on the R 1200 GS can adapt to the slight change in back-pressure without any additional intervention, so the installation does not involve any electronic complications.

Up-to-date production lead times are always visible during checkout. Once your order has been dispatched, you will automatically receive a tracking code to follow the delivery.

Below you will find the product list available for the BMW R 1200 GS 2010-2012. The differences between one silencer and another are mainly aesthetic: shape, material and finish vary, while mechanical compatibility remains the same. Where available, you can also select the No-Noise option from the drop-down menu. Enter each product page to view detailed photos, read the technical specifications and configure the silencer best suited to your GS.
