Wunderlich used EICMA 2026 to present the R 1300 S Sprint Concept, turning the mechanical basis of the BMW R 1300 R into a distinctly retro and aggressive sport motorcycle. Its half-fairing, Gulf colour scheme and forward-focused ergonomics recall Endurance racers from the 1980s and 1990s, while the concept also nods to the BMW R 1100 S, R 1200 S and HP2 Sport. Nicolas Petit is responsible for the design, with Peter Haindl creating the colour treatment.

The Sprint retains a 1,300 cc boxer engine producing 145 CV. Wunderlich leaves the engine exposed, making it part of the motorcycle’s visual identity rather than hiding it beneath the new bodywork. The main functional change is the riding position: a machined top yoke and sport clip-on handlebars shift more load towards the front wheel and give the bike a more committed stance. The suspension and rear shock were developed with Wilbers. BST carbon wheels run Continental tyres, while Ilmberger carbon components and a bespoke Remus exhaust finish the build.

Beyond the show bike

The Sprint is the most eye-catching machine in the display, but Wunderlich also showed a broad accessory range intended for commercial release in 2027. The catalogue focuses on comfort, protection and luggage. For the BMW R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure, it includes a heated Aktivkomfort seat, handlebar risers, a smoked windscreen, the Click Bag 6 Pro tank bag and transparent headlight protection. Aktivkomfort seats use polyurethane foam with different densities and integrate heating for both rider and passenger.

The BMW F 450 GS receives crash bars, indicator protection, handguards, soft side bags with mounting frames and a mechanical throttle lock. By holding the throttle in a selected position, the device acts as a manual cruise-control solution and can take some load off the rider’s right hand on long journeys. For the BMW R 12 G/S, Wunderlich offers quick-release frames for soft luggage, a short number-plate holder, larger footrests and gear lever, plus protection for the boxer cylinder heads and the quickshifter mechanism.

The BMW R 1300 RT is covered by higher auxiliary mirrors intended to improve rearward vision, a handlebar extension that brings the controls closer, a heated Aktivkomfort seat and the large Marathon windscreen. The BMW M 1000 XR gains hard side cases with plug-and-play frames, an adjustable sport screen and Ilmberger carbon components. For the Ducati Multistrada V4, the range includes a larger Marathon screen, Ilmberger carbon handguards, hard luggage and soft side bags with dedicated frames, handlebar risers and a heated Aktivkomfort seat.

The R 1300 S Sprint therefore serves as Wunderlich’s clearest statement of its sporting direction for the 2027 season. The wider accessory range takes a more practical route, adding protection, improved ergonomics, heated comfort and extra luggage options to several BMW and Ducati motorcycles.
