Powergate Case History
George is not the kind of customer who settles for less. A long-time BMW enthusiast and proud owner of an S1000 RR (which gained over 10 HP in its most extreme setup thanks to Powergate), he recently got his hands on the new R 1300 GS. He immediately realized something was missing: the ability to fully customize it. After installing a performance exhaust and air filter, he turned to a tool he already trusted—Powergate.
With Powergate, he found the perfect companion: in just a few minutes, directly from his smartphone and with no risk, he gave his GS the perfect power delivery. This tool also allows professional tuners to offer their clients full autonomy and customization, with four different calibrations designed to suit various riding styles and terrains.
The benefit? No downtime, no workshop visits. From backroads to trails to highways, his GS is always ready—just like him.
With Powergate, George’s BMW R 1300 GS now features four tailored calibrations: full control and riding pleasure, every time he gets in the saddle.
Prioritizes comfort and control. Throttle response is smoother at low RPMs, with gentler torque. Perfect for relaxed touring, even with passenger and luggage. It’s smooth and precise, yet retains mid-range punch for overtaking and climbing.
Boosts responsiveness between 3,000 and 6,500 rpm. Torque is fuller and immediate, with optimized engine braking for a sportier yet manageable ride. Ideal for mixed roads and faster stretches, maximizing the boxer engine’s potential.
Tailored for off-road, it offers balanced torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm for traction and stability on tough terrain. Throttle is highly precise, even in technical sections.
Every parameter is maxed out. Air and fuel management is recalibrated to match mechanical mods (racing exhaust and filter), delivering smooth, powerful output across the rev range. Peak power increases by about 2 HP, but mid-range torque is significantly stronger, with over 160Nm below 6,000 rpm. Throttle is direct—built for riders who want instant power, always.
The Bosch ME17.2.42 BMS-O ECU on the R 1300 GS is widely used across BMW Motorrad—from adventure to naked, heritage to sport models, even maxi-scooters—since 2019 (Euro 4, 5, 5+).
Powergate enables complete customization on this ECU:
George, already familiar with this ECU from his S1000 RR, appreciated being able to fine-tune his GS with precision. A real advantage for those who always want the best.
The result? George immediately felt the difference: precise handling, stronger push, and a riding feel that truly matches the character of the new GS.
“I wasn’t looking for more power alone, but a setup that suited my riding style. I had already tested Powergate on my S1000 RR, and the GS confirmed it all: full control, always.”
