Vario topcase for BMW R1300GS 2023+

The design of the Vario bags and the Vario top case has been completely overhauled. The anodized aluminum strips on the outer side of the bags, as well as on the outer side and lid of the Vario top case, not only provide a robust base but also harmoniously fit into the design of the new BMW R 1300 GS together with the black plastic cover.

The Vario bags and Vario top case with integrated charging option and lighting, as well as integration into the remote central locking system, provide maximum comfort.
In terms of technology and functionality, the new bag system sets new standards. Another interesting feature is that the new system is now electrified. From now on, electronic devices such as phones, tablets, or laptops can be charged in the left Vario bag. There is a USB-A power port located here, allowing charging via the onboard network with a power of up to 15 W (5 V/3 A). Another USB-A port is located in the top case. Moreover, due to the integrated lighting in the Vario bags, loading and unloading at night is very convenient.

Another new feature is that all three Vario bags are integrated into the standard remote central locking of the new BMW R 1300 GS. Additionally, the Vario bag system also includes mechanical keys that can be used to unlock and lock the bags – for example, in case the remote control is lost.

Continuous adjustment of the internal volume for optimal use of all storage space.
The volume of the Vario bags and the Vario top case can now be smoothly adjusted with a manual knob (previously in two steps). As a result, the new BMW R 1300 GS is only as wide or tall as necessary with respect to the required storage space.

The new Vario bag system offers a total volume of up to 97 liters. By expanding the bags, the storage volume increases from approximately 49 liters by a maximum of about 5.5 liters for each of them. The storage volume of the top case increases from 28 to a maximum of 36 liters.

Additional luggage can be stored on the side bags and the top case using practical attachment loops.
For example, a BMW 7 helmet can be stored in the Vario system (left Vario bag and top case), and a BMW GS helmet fits in the Vario top case. The maximum load of one bag is 10 kg on each side, while the maximum load of the Vario top case is set at 6 kg. Therefore, a total of 26 kg of cargo can be loaded.

Additionally, luggage can also be stored on the outer side of the Vario bags and on the Vario top case. Up to 1 kg can be attached to the side of each bag and an additional 2 kg on the top case. For securing additional luggage, we recommend using tension straps. For this purpose, fastening loops are located on the lid of the Vario top case. Fastening loops are also on the sides of the Vario bags.

Practical Vario internal bags are available as original accessories from BMW Motorrad.
As part of the BMW Motorrad Original Accessories, additional Vario internal bags are available for the Vario system of the new BMW R 1300 GS. The volume of the internal bags is:

- left bag: 21.5–28.9 l

- right bag: 21.3–26.8 l

- top case: 24.8–33 l

For each Vario bag, there is a large main internal bag and a smaller additional bag that can be freely placed on top of the main bag in the bag. The additional bag can also be used as a small handbag, for example, for a stop at a café. The main bag for the left Vario bag features a padded compartment for electronic devices with a cable outlet to the USB charging port. The internal bag of the Vario top case consists of a large main bag with a volume of up to 33 liters.

The maximum permitted speed with the Vario bag system is 180 km/h. The new Vario luggage system is not suitable for previous...
