The brake lines on the EVO brake system are clad in steel for extra protection,
brake discs measuring 320 millimetres or 12.6" up front and 265 millimetres
or 10.4" at the rear ensuring maximum stopping power also from very high
speeds and under high loads.

The EVO brake system has proven its additional qualities such as the
extremely fast build-up of brake pressure and minimum operating forces
even when applying the brakes all-out in many tests.

Given all these qualities, the EVO brake system from BMW – EVO stands
for evolution – is already acknowledged in the market as one of the safest and
most effective brake systems available.

The EVO brake system is featured as standard also on the new K 1300 S
together with BMW Integral ABS likewise well-known from BMW’s other
models, in this case in the particularly sporting and dynamic semi-integral
variant. “Semi-integral” means that when pulling the handbrake lever
both brakes (on the front and rear wheel) are activated while the footbrake
lever acts only on the rear-wheel brake.

Since the sports rider wants to be able to dose the brakes smoothly and
consistently with precise feeling, specifi cally this requirement has been taken
into account, ensuring that even when applying the brakes all-out on the
K 1300 S there is virtually no risk of the motorcycle toppling over – also thanks
to the low centre of gravity and the particular geometry of the suspension
interacting with the kinematic confi guration of the Duolever.

In other words, the rider is able to make full use of maximum tyre grip also
in the ABS brake mode, enjoying maximum safety even in an extreme braking
manoeuvre.
