BMW unveils several new colour options for 2026
BMW’s flagship R1300 GS model is one of many to gain new colours for 2026.
BMW has revealed new colours across several models heading into 2026, with many of its adventure bikes benefiting from the soft update.
The update also includes some special and optional equipment, however, that’s only available across certain models.
Up first in receiving a new colour for 2026, but no additional equipment, is the brand’s flagship R1300 GS. Powered by a 1,300cc, liquid-cooled flat twin engine that produces a claimed 143.4 bhp at 7,750 and 109.8 Ib-ft of torque at 6,500rpm, the R1300 GS is now available in a Style Trophy colour scheme that features a White Aluminium Matt metallic/Racing Blue metallic combination.

For its R1300 GS Adventure sibling there are no new colours to shout about heading into 2026, but there is new equipment as part of two separate packages.
A new hand guard extension is now available with the Touring Package, while an engine guard has also been revealed as part of the Enduro Package Pro.
Staying in the GS family, the F900 gets two new liveries for 2026, including a Snapper Rocks Blue Matt metallic colour scheme. As a result of that addition, the Sao Paulo Yellow uniform is no longer available.
The second new option features a smattering of Racingblue metallic/Lightwhite uni/Racingred uni and Racingred uni on the rear frame. That again leads to a current colour option being removed which is the Lightwhite uni/Racingblue metallic colourway.
Then there’s the dual-sport S1000 XR, which gains a new Sage Green metallic colour scheme (my personal favourite of the bunch), while the Gravity Blue metallic is no longer available.
BMW has kindly added a new optional piece of equipment to the S1000 XR, which is a USB charging port to the Dynamic Package.
Finally, we have the BMW C 400 GT and BMW C 400 X scooters, both of which get new colours as well. The former receives a Blue Ridge Mountain metallic paint scheme and gold coloured wheels. That has resulted in the Diamond White Metallic option no longer being available.
The BMW C 400 X now features a White Aluminium Matt metallic with black coloured wheels, while the Kalamata Matt metallic livery is no more.
