DescriptionThe whole story▼

Even on a sports tourer, the rear tyre wears out fast, and many S1000 XR owners change wheels themselves. The quick-release GTA pair helps with that job: its conical aluminium body gives a hand-hold on the rear axle.

Key Features

  • Impact and abrasion resistant plastic with good sliding properties
  • Reduces crash damage to the swingarm and rear axle
  • Left and right protector for the rear axle, black/red
  • Asymmetric design inspired by the race track
  • Conical aluminium body gives a grip to pull the axle out by hand
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

Plastic slider

The other side of the pair is a rounded plastic body that is meant to slide in a fall and protect the swingarm ends. It is made of a material that resists impact and abrasion.

K10, 2X99 and SX99

Listed for the S1000 XR from 2015 onwards, across all three types. Black and red.

Road Approval

Gilles states that no registration is needed for this part on the BMW S1000 XR: no inspection and no entry in the vehicle documents. Fit it according to the instructions and check that everything is tight before the first ride.

Scope of Delivery

An asymmetric pair for the rear axle: the rounded plastic protector for one side and the conical aluminium grip for the other. The front axle set is sold separately.
