The Connectivity option with its full-color TFT 6.5 in/165 mm display is BMW Motorrad’s highlight of 2018 optional features. Connectivity was designed to provide fast and clear information for the rider with the least possible distraction from what is happening on the road, BMW reports.

The rider can access motorcycle and connectivity functions quickly with a great level of comfort thanks to the advanced BMW Motorrad multi-controller and the integrated approach. In addition, the new TFT display combines the familiar “classic” display of data such as rpm and speed with new technology that provides an enormous range of features, BMW says.

For the first time on the Adventure an Emergency Call system is also now available.
