presentation of the R 1200 GS Triple Black 2016

the Triple Black edition is back. The GS already did the trick in 2010, with a version of the same name and a deep cult following for the dark. The recipe is renewed, with a night-time color scheme that takes over the essentials of the German trail bike (bodywork, forks, fuel tank, engine, swingarm, etc.). A few elements are spared, such as the radiator scoops, or the frame tubes, which are adorned in quartz grey. One of the Triple Black's special features is that it comes with a pair of spoked rims instead of spokes.

it also features a special two-tone seat with an inlaid GS logo. The equipment is not enriched... whereas the previous version included a pack with ESA suspension and other goodies. It has to be said that, with its success so close to its heart, the 1200 GS doesn't have many lessons or advice to offer.
