AirFlow Performance Cover for the BMW R1300GS and R1300GSA

Our Dynamic Mapping also anticipates the next step. The air filter covers, developed in collaboration with Flatout Performance Parts, offer additional benefits in:

  • power (up to +4 HP) and torque (up to +6 Nm) in the range relevant for touring, between 3,000 and 6,000 rpm. At the same time, a smoother torque curve, including smoothing out the noticeable dip at 5,500 rpm. Example dynamometer chart (wheel-end measurements) with stock exhaust system: R1300GS 2024+
  • more powerful intake sound
  • continued optimal protection against dripping water ingress and coarse dirt
  • exterior retains its original appearance

Performance intake parts for BMW R12 models

Our Dynamic Mapping also anticipates the next step. The optional intake snorkels and intake cover developed in cooperation with LEVARC offer additional benefits in:

  • power (up to +10 HP) and torque (up to +7 Nm). In particular, the intake manifold cover provides an increase in torque and smoother power delivery in the range relevant for touring use, between 3,500 and 7,000 rpm. The intake funnels are used when a power boost in the upper RPM range is required. Example dyno chart (wheel power) with stock exhaust system: R12 G/S 2026
  • more powerful intake sound (intake manifold)
  • continued optimal protection against water ingress and coarse debris
  • exterior retains its original appearance

New tips and tricks page

We have launched a new page called "Tips and tricks for BMW bikes." Here we have collected some technical advice based on our experience and made it available to all BMW riders. Take a look!

Race Mapping PRO V2026 now available!

Following the update for Power Mapping PRO in December, the time has finally come and we can now also release Race Mapping PRO in version 2026. We have spent another whole year refining it to make what was already good even better and to integrate new models into our portfolio. Key new features/improvements:

  • Now also available for M1000RR from 2025, S1000XR from 2024, and S1000R from 2025

  • All improvements to Power Mapping PRO – see news article from December 22, 2025

  • Power limitation: completely revised for RR models. Now with automatic adjustment to secondary gear ratio and inclusion of the wheelie control setting (higher WC setting = more torque reduction in gears 1 to 3)

  • DTC: improved control quality and further optimized slip target via lean angle and speed

  • Engine brake: further optimized control behavior and adjusted negative slip target

  • Cranking (video): Oil pressure build-up now possible before engine start (currently only C variant)

  • Pit lane speed limiter / Pit limiter (video): Activation via start button (press once with engine running) in gear 1 or N, e.g. in the pits! No longer necessary to hold the start button while driving)

  • Launch control: Driving modes with "auto on" and deactivated launch control available to enable starts with and without launch control (decision already made in the pits, no button press required on the starting grid)

  • Other minor improvements (e.g., reduction of error susceptibility at battery voltages below 12.6V)

Handlebar shift buttons for BMW R1300 ASA models

We are starting the year by presenting a project for the R1300 models. The hand, tip, or handlebar shift using thumb operation is a retrofit solution for all BMW models with automated shift assistant (ASA). The retrofit can be completed in just a few simple steps and does not require any software modifications. We are implementing the project in collaboration with our well-known partners Flatout performance parts and re-elektronik. Interested? Then get in touch quickly – so we can plan the batch size for the first delivery and hopefully deliver before the start of the season.

Thank you for a great 2025!

With this news article, we would like to thank all interested readers of our homepage and subscribers to our newsletter! We look back with gratitude on a great year. A year with many more highlights than those that made it into a news article. We also neglected our public relations work somewhat so that we could be there for our customers 100%. The overwhelming amount of appreciation we receive in the form of positive feedback via email, Google, telephone, etc. is our motivation to keep going. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This year, we were once again able to make a donation to the DRF Luftrettung and the Wings for Life Foundation.

The special thing behind the picture for this article: No - not the cookies on the GS! We retrofitted the original BMW seat heating to this BMW R1300GS in cooperation with Motorrad Pielmeier in Tiefenbach.

Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays and a healthy and successful 2026 season to all!

Power Mapping PRO V2026 now available!

This year we are once again working intensively on further improving our mappings for the M/S1000 models. We are starting with our Power Mapping PRO with the following new features / improvements:

  • Now also available for M1000RR from 2025, S1000XR from 2024 and S1000R from 2025
  • Completely revised combustion tuning for smoother engine running at low engine speeds/loads (mainly affects R/XR models), further improved response and slightly improved maximum torque/performance in some cases.
  • Improved throttle response; especially wider spread between "soft" and "direct"
  • Further improved shift assistant for even smoother and more precise shifting with further reduced "false neutral" risk - only RR 2023+, XR 2024+, R 2025+
  • Improved power limitation for even smoother acceleration phases with as little wheelie control intervention as possible (can be switched off via riding mode / ENGINE setting) - RR, MXR, MR models only

And also a first feedback - thanks again to Marcel, Germany, S1000XR 2021 - update from v24 to v26 + short throttle:

"Package arrived yesterday, installed straight away, short throttle grip also screwed on. Everything worked out great [...] Rough conclusion after 50 km lap: no more jerking. I also rode in every gear and really made sure to ride constantly to feel any jerking, but it's simply no longer there. The torque is similar or the same as the old mapping [...]. Apart from that, the bike is much more agile, much more spontaneous thanks to the short-stroke throttle grip and simply rides better. More detailed conclusion after more riding time and with a direct comparison with my colleague who has the same model and the same year of manufacture (standard condition): So when you drive with the original mapping, you think someone is holding you down at the back. Because in contrast to the update, there is almost nothing at all at the bottom of the original! I've totally forgotten that again, the update has so much more power at the bottom and the short-stroke throttle grip makes the bike so aggressive and comes on immediately! In the original, you have to turn the throttle half a turn and then it moves forward so slowly. The bubbling is mega when you take the throttle off, [...] and the constant jerking is gone in every gear! No matter which gear, the bike runs so smoothly - top top top! [...] Shifting is also much smoother and easier below 4000 rpm, much easier than the original. And the cold start phase - the loud revving up is also history. I'm really happy with the update [...] and my colleague is thrilled too! He also thought he was riding a completely different model of the moped, so thank you very much for the mega great work."
