BMW R1300GS Crash Bars Drop Test by Outback Motortek
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- We've done it again! This time we tortured our crash bars for BMW's new flag ship motorcycle, the 1300GS model. As always we want to be fully transparent and show all the details of the crash bars drop test and also present the improvements for our production version crash bars.
Availabilty from mid July, 2024. More details: zaap.bio/bmw_1...
And that my friends, is why Outback Motortek bars are the best!
@@Mark11704 thank you!
I don't even have a GS and this is hella cool. I wish other companies showed their products being tested like this props to you guys for having the balls to drag and crash test that GS!
@@xxcommentator thanks! We’ve been doing our crash bars drop tests consistently since 2014
Those Boxer cylinder heads, especially the valve covers, are so vulnerable, glad to see this crash bar R&D. Looks sturdier than some others .Thanks
@@groverw7507 thanks for your comment and feedback!
Looks like an awesome product, I can say with another brand setup aka black dog drops end up flexing the crash bar reinforcement system and punching holes in the valve covers. Hard problem to fully solve I’m sure but your system looks like the most robust for a gs trophy bike that is being dropped allot during training and competition. Jess Hofherr 1200 surely survived all the gs trophy and Sendit stuff thanks to your bars that is a fact. I’ll certainly go to your bars for my 1250 if I decide to compete again next year. Thanks for being totally open and transparent and constantly troubleshooting your own product.
@@richjones859 thank you for your comment and the compliments!
As always, an awesome test.
@@Rudis_Garage appreciate your comment
I have a set of AltRider crash bars coming and will order Barkbusters when they are released for 1300. This confirms you don't need the upper crash bars for me.
Fantastic! And they look great. Will buy your crashbars as soon as I purchase my 2025 GS1300 with ASA! Subscribed
I’m getting your bars for my 1300 gs. Great job guys!
@@migueltapia7302 thanks!
@@Outbackmotortek I'm sold as well, can I find them in Vienna, Austria? My GS 1300 is arriving on December.
@@polychronisrempoulakis3588 outbackmotortek.com/product-category/bmw/bmw-r-1300-gs/
Wow. So impressed. Brand new bmw gs1300 and was dropped/dragged several times. I wanted your guards for my 850gs but there not compatible to my previous bought skid plate. Don’t worry, I do you your pannier rack system on the bike. 👍
@@shanegreen9019 thank you for your support 🙌🏻
Very good job as usual. I hosted Paula during her days in Athens and when she told me you sponsor her I didn't hesitate to praise your stuff 🙂
@@OrestisTrips thanks! She’s the one on the CRF300L, right? A true traveler
Indeed.
Nice performance, the bars do their job perfectly!
I also noticed that you mount the bars into the frame too, as well as integrate it to the engine protection plate. This might actually be the best crash bars and engine guards on the market!
Too bad that I've already bought crash bars from another manufaturer... :(
@@potatissoppan thanks. It’s essentially the same design as our 1200GS and 1250GS/GSA lower crash bars and we carried this successful design over to the 1300GS model
Great product!
@@davecree867 thanks
Wow, what a commitment to the design and testing of your product. That was actually a little hard to watch in fear of watching a nice bike getting pretty banged up.
@@marvinlee4887 appreciate your compliments. This is what we do and will continue doing
Those guys are crazy
@@Teofilofolengo626 we just want sell products we test: crash bars
This is more than the humble definition of a crashbar it’s actually a cage
@@95lovi you’re not wrong! Time to upgrade the name 🛡️
I really appreciate, that you put your products to a realistic test. But my heart was bleeding with every run. This felt like fingernails on a school board 😳
@@richymoto thanks for your comment. We don’t do it for pleasure. It’s just the path we picked nearly a decade ago and we get great results from our crash bars tests.
I have them on my T7…only crash bars I will use on my bike.
@@DirtbikeXpeditions great to hear. Cheers
2:52 , you can see the crack on the weld point
@@demiratmotovlog if you can read then you can also find this information in the post description! We’re transparent. Later in the video we also clarify that the crash bars we tested were from a small preproduction batch and we present a solution to this problem with our production version crash bars.
@@OutbackmotortekI surely can read, I just informed the visible crack timing for general, is that a crime?
When available I am buying a set for my GS, I will take a black powder coated one 🙏🏽 please.
@@theR0ck thank you! We are starting to ship them to our dealers from mid July
Looks like the structure on the right side broke. Needs replacement but the. Ike is ok!
Explained later in the video that this was a preproduction crash bars test. The production version includes an additional bracket/gusset to prevent this issue. We prefer being fully transparent
Broken welding on the right crashbar at 2:52 in the video. 👎🏻
Watch the full video. We are transparent about it and explain later in the video that the production version will feature additional brackets to prevent this issue. Hence we test our products before production begins
Would love to see if a bar across the front crash bars under the nose would improve rigidity or whatever.
@@SpaceCitizenFaye it could improve the crash performance, but would ruin the aesthetic
something broke instantly at @0.18 you can see something spilling out is that oil or water.....
It's water from washing the bike before the test. It says so @0:30
@@zedpoutine got it... nice video
Water pooled somewhere after pressure washing it right before the test.
I will definitely buy these fire my next GS. I’m assuming the gussets placed on the right will be placed on the left a week? Love the test but it still looks cruel to the bike😂
@@richardclarke8117 for sure! 😆 Both sides get the gussets 😊
@Outback Motortek, Other companies like Wunderlich have a bar in the middle (between the upperbars), for example the R1250GS. Might that prevent the bending? I am for sure now looking at your bars, great ad~
@@nlwouter6161 we don’t want to prevent bending. Something needs to absorb impact. It should be the crash bars, not the chassis or the engine
any news when they will be out for sale in the eu shop?
Me pregunto si las barras de las Suzuki v strom 650 del 2004 al 2011 serán así de resistentes,al igual q el cubrecarter,outbacks motortek y sw motech son los únicos q las hacen en barra de 27 m el resto de 25 mm
Selling R13GS, best nursed only a few kilometres ridden onroad only….
@@PatRick-bg4dm as per the video 😇
Can you do a "what's inside?" wherein the object will be cut in half they analyzes the component?
@@kikoy08 inside what?
For sale 2023 R1300gs slightly used never been dropped with slight scratches from everyday use 🤔
@@MrMelcos that sums it up
Why don’t you offer the option of an additional top bracket over the tank?
🥶👏👏
If you don't need it, I am a poor man in North Africa who needs it a lot to move around. Send it to me as a gift, please.
But you only said you were going to take some easy pictures of my bike! Lol
@@12masterr 🤭
Well, when you started the engine, it sounded ☠‼ The bike with protection is, almost, as wide as a car ! - You can't filter in most of the worlds' traffic jams...., but the protection for this one, is extra important - due to the most ridiculous engine design.....
IF you do more tests like this in the future ( on any bike ) - with many drops - start the bike after EACH DROP - so you / we ( if you publish it here ) know WHEN the damage appeared.
If the engine gets killed after 3rd + drop - the protection is EXCELLENT. If on the first - well....
@2:03 crack is forming, no?
@@useless274 have you watched the full video and the video description? Probably didn’t.
Hope you finished this before youre parenst came home from work... But cool and interesting 😊👍
You’re funny, pal
Impressive. How do they fare when dragged along a grippy surface like an asphalt paved road?
We dragged once on each side of rough pavement and show the results in the video
@@Outbackmotortek My bad, there was more proper road than I thought. Impressive. Keep up the good work!
@@RichDunn thank you
Who made this ? Impressive 😮
@@moseslamar8069 The crash bars and the crash bars test video are both made by us (Outback Motortek)
@@Outbackmotortek thank you
you didn’t do the starbucks carpark drop test
We will do Tim Hortons 🇨🇦 😆
When will be avialable guard set for f900 Adventure version?
This motorbike has very week oryginal guard.
During week contact with sand or mud, original the metal element gives up. In my motorbike, plastic element is broken.
Plese give me new produkct from Outbeck :)
@@pgodlow we don’t have plans at the moment to make crash bars for the 900GSA model. All the solid mounting points are covered up by the large side panel
I watched, I cried that is all
😂😂😂😂
Happens to the best of us. Thanks for watching
se desoldó ... pero claaaaro asi quien aguanta.
Do you loose some mean angle?
@@MrMilaan lean angle? Yes, a tiny bit
@@Outbackmotortek 😂 yeah the lean angle, because with it it looks definitely meaner.. 😂 😂 😂
Thanks for the reply
I had your bars for an Africa Twin. Awesome…and these vids always made me cringe….
Bu motosiklet benim olsa
Hello I love Germany.
Hi there. Greetings from 🇨🇦
painfull watch.
@@thedevmachine 100% agreed
ma perche dico io ma
yep looks great in a “controlled” environment . Now try it with a leg and a boot there at those speeds you will see an entirely different outcome.
Towing behind a vehicle is nice to see but highly impractical in the real world although i’m sure your product is of a decent quality .
Will you lend us your “leg and boot”?
are you crazy guys hhhhhhhhhhhh🤣😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Worldwide recall 😳🙄👎
@@jaisabai4155 Hondas, KTMs, Triumphs etc they all have it too. It’s a thing now
Não entendo pra que fazer uma moto com o motor saindo pra fora 🤦🏻♂️
sorry, give me the motorcycle
@@attilaolasz6422 it’s not how it works 😆
dont hurt bmw gs like this,i am from india !!!!stop doing this ok!!!!!!!!
Tie some weight on the seat and then do the test for more real world results
Weight? The bike already weighs 250kg!
hill billy
@@matjazturk3503 thanks for your comment ✌🏼
There is good protection for the engine, but not against human stupidity. They almost dragged him against the tree. Amateurs
Thanks for your comment. You’re fully entitled to expressing your opinion 😊
