| Steering Column Guard |
| From the easy to read display and the additional protection offered by the column guard, this bike is intended for on and off-road. |
|
| WAD spring fork |
| The Upside-Down fork especially designed for the HP2 Enduro has a travel-related damping system which effectively minimises the risk of bottoming out. Both compression and rebound stages are adjustable, making the bike perfectly adaptable to the required purpose. |

| Salvage bars |
| Then there are the solid salvage bars - designed at the front as a headlamp fixture, at the rear as pillion passenger grasps: these allow the HP2 Enduro to be recovered in any situation. |

| Boxer Twin Cylinder |
| The 1200 cc flat-twin engine of the HP2 Enduro offers excellent engine characteristics for sporty off-road motorcycling: slightly modified for increased power, with gently delivered and easily controllable power in every situation, a torque level which is always over 100 Nm and available across a wide range, and a low centre of gravity: this means absolute off-road capability with impressive performance. Due to the fact that a balancer shaft has not been used, the engine turns even faster and with greater sporty flair than that of the R 1200 GS. As is characteristic of the flat-twin engine, it allows jerk-free riding without clutch support even at the very lowest engine speeds, with the engine management system providing optimum idle-speed control. The result is an engine which will enable you to meet any challenge. |
| Cylinder Guard |
| rotective elements on the engine, cylinder and gearbox give this motorcycle even greater robustness - as befits its use. Even the ergodynamically engineered hand protectors are carefully detailed. |
| Air damping system |
| The rear strut for the HP2 Enduro is a world innovation in motorcycle chassis design. With the new air damping system, air exclusively undertakes both suspension and damping functions. The basic layout of the air damping system features analogies to conventional struts: a piston travels in a cylinder, but displaces instead of oil air that flows from one chamber into the other. Damping is achieved when plate valves throttle this air flow; suspension is obtained when the trapped air is compressed. On the outside the air damping system consists of an aluminium cylinder that forms the actual strut with two air chambers and gastight rubber bellows that completely seals the strut including the piston rod. The system is therefore protected against soiling, facilitating maintenance and preventing e.g. dust from abrading the piston's O ring. The strut is filled with ambient air through a normal Auto valve; a high pressure hand pump and pressure gauge are included with the product. Varying the filling pressure in the strut means that the motorcycle can be quite easily tuned to various loading states or the seat height adjusted. A bubble on the frame indicates the motorcycle's normal position as an adjustment aid. In addition, the only other adjusting facility is a hand wheel that varies the damping characteristics between the two variants Sport and Competition by opening up a small bypass between the air chambers. |
| Brakesnake |
| This is a small steel rope around the footbrake pedal preventing stones, branches or other objects from getting stuck between the footbrake lever and the engine and possibly bending, blocking or even inadvertently operating the lever, thus actuating the brakes when not required. |
