ROVEN Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) With aluminum, carbon and a lot of work, the Dutch trainer Ironwood Motorcycles has revised the BMW R 1250 GS to make it a rascal roadster. "She’s not everyone’s motorcycle!" ": Ironwood Motorcycles doesn’t go all out to present its Dominator. At the same time, we can't really give him the wrong view of the images… Designed with the help of BMW Netherlands, the Dominator is based on an R 1250 GS. A trail, therefore, transformed for the occasion into a roadster with aggressive ultra-tight lines. We don't have to love, but the least we can say is that the Dominator of Ironwood Motorcycles is hungry! BMW parts everywhere "Our version of the 2019 BMW R 1250 GS is the encounter between a DeLorean and the Tesla Cybertruck (electric pickup), Bladerunner against Tron," said Arjan Van Den Boom, boss of Ironwood. See a battle with KTM, if we believe the flagship ... Many parts have been borrowed from other BMWs: the Brembo brake calipers come from an R 1250 R, the rear light from a S 1000 RR from 2018, the aluminum rocker covers are from the Option 719 catalog , the central LED of the “headlight” is that of an S 1000 XR, etc. The intake pipes and exhaust pipes (without any silencer, etc.) are made of stainless steel. The dashboard is still that of the GS (but it is well hidden). The tank, due to its angular and "tortured" shape, required a lot of work. The bulky original fuel pump had to be moved. A favorable carbon footprint… At the front, the Telelever suspension system has been retained, but the fork legs have been replaced by carbon fiber models from CeraCarbon, with a shock absorber custom-built by the Dutch brand TFX (ditto for the rear shock absorber ). Carbon was also used for the rims, Bullet, produced by Rotobox and which accommodate Metzeler Racetec RR Rain tires. By the way, the rim width is greater than that of the rims fitted to the original GS: 190 against 170. Finally, a special watch was produced at the same time by the Dutch watchmaker TW Steel, with whom Ironwood collaborated. It is integrated into the largest of the three “caps” of the tank.
