Exhausts Bmw R 1200 GS 2017-2018

The air/liquid-cooled 1,170 cc boxer engine powering the BMW R 1200 GS in the 2017-2018 model years is one of those powerplants you recognise from the very first blip of the throttle: generous torque available from the midrange, smooth power delivery, and that distinctive irregular pulse typical of the flat-twin that accompanies every metre of tarmac or dirt. With 125 hp and 125 Nm of torque, paired with the shaft drive and the Telelever/Paralever chassis, the R 1200 GS remains a benchmark in the adventure-touring segment — a motorcycle that devours miles with the same ease as it tackles an off-road stretch. At Roadsitalia you will find our silencers designed for this model, engineered and built to integrate with the original exhaust system without compromise.

The product we offer is a slip-on silencer — a muffler that replaces exclusively the stock silencer mounted in the lateral position on the right-hand side of the motorcycle. Headers, catalytic converter and everything upstream remain original. It is therefore a targeted, contained modification: the silencer connects directly to the existing junction, with no need to alter the rest of the exhaust system. Every kit is supplied complete with all the hardware required for installation, including gaskets and fasteners. Compatibility with the original mounting points is guaranteed, though we recommend having the installation carried out by a qualified mechanic to ensure a correct and secure fit.

Compared with the stock muffler, the most noticeable benefits are twofold. First, weight: our silencers are significantly lighter than the original, an advantage that on the GS is especially appreciated at low speeds and during manoeuvres, where every kilogram saved in the rear and lateral area of the motorcycle contributes to greater agility. Second, sound: the boxer's tone takes on a more defined and fuller character, with a more open note that highlights the flat-twin's natural pulse without becoming intrusive or excessive. We are not talking about performance revolutions, but rather a tangible improvement in the everyday riding experience.

Every silencer is made through handcrafted manufacturing in Lombardy, at our facility in the province of Bergamo. We work to order: each unit is built, inspected in-house, and prepared for shipping only after passing our quality control checks. This allows us to maintain a consistent standard and attend to every detail, from welding to surface finish. Direct from the manufacturer means there are no intermediaries between the people who build the silencer and the person who receives it: it is our way of ensuring a direct, transparent relationship and a price that reflects the quality delivered.

Since only the silencer is being replaced, the original catalytic section of the exhaust system stays in place and continues to perform its function. ECU remapping is not normally required: the R 1200 GS engine management system is capable of adapting to the slight change in back-pressure introduced by the new muffler without generating faults or warning lights. It is a modification that integrates seamlessly with the on-board electronics.

All our silencers come fitted with a standard dB killer as standard. This is an internal baffle that keeps noise levels within compliant limits. Its removal is not officially intended and would void the product's type approval. For those who want even greater noise reduction, on selected models the No-Noise version is available: a welded internal filter that further reduces decibel levels without significantly affecting performance. Where available, it can be selected directly on the product page.

Up-to-date production lead times are always visible during checkout. Once manufacturing is complete and the shipment has been handed to the courier, you will automatically receive a tracking code to follow the parcel through to delivery.

If you have questions about compatibility, available finishes, or any other technical aspect, please consult the FAQ section of the website or contact us directly via the Contact page or the chat. We respond with the expertise of people who design and build these exhausts every day.

Below you will find the product list available for the BMW R 1200 GS 2017-2018. The differences between the various versions are mainly aesthetic: body shape, construction material, and type of finish. We invite you to enter each individual product page to view detailed photos, read the full technical specifications, and configure your silencer by choosing from the options available in the drop-down menu, including — where available — the No-Noise version.
