Electronically Adjustable Exhaust For BMW R1300 GS/GSA: The Nomad S

The BMW R1300 GS is a trailblazer in the world of adventure motorcycles, built around the legendary 1300cc boxer engine. The Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Nomad S is engineered exclusively for it, an electronically adjustable exhaust with three selectable sound modes, available in street-legal configurations where applicable.

The Nomad S delivers the ultimate combination of sound, performance, and comfort. Switch between a silent, whispering mode for long-distance touring and quiet urban riding, a balanced dynamic mode, and a deep, rumbling mode that lets the boxer engine show its full character.

Every detail is purpose-built: an indentation in the body aligns perfectly with the fuel tank, the design is fully compatible with the OEM cases with no heat impact, and it's finished in black or pearl grey with gloss carbon end caps over an aluminum core.

Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde electronic valve technology lets you adjust the sound on the fly, one premium exhaust system, three distinct personalities, and full control from the handlebar. Backed by a 4-year warranty.

Why Sound Control Matters

One Exhaust, Every Setting From Whisper To Roar

The R1300 GS is the most capable boxer BMW has ever built, and it deserves an exhaust that can keep up with every kind of riding it does. The Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Nomad S puts the full range of sound at your fingertips, so the bike can be as discreet or as loud as the moment calls for.

1

Effortless Highway Miles

Dial the tone right back on motorway runs so hours in the saddle stay calm and fatigue-free instead of droning on.

2

Better For Your Pillion

A passenger sits right where the sound carries, so softening the volume makes every two-up mile far more welcome.

3

Respect The Quiet

Drop it to a hush for pre-dawn departures, late-night arrivals, campgrounds, and streets where neighbors are still asleep.

4

Unleash The Boxer

Open the valve to Mr. Hyde and let the 1300cc twin roar with the deep, muscular voice it was made to have.

R1300 GS/GSA FAQ

Questions Before You Order?

Here are the most common questions about the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Nomad S exhaust for the BMW R1300 GS and GS Adventure.

No tune is required on a stock bike. BMW motorcycles run a sophisticated ECU with closed loop fueling, and the O2 sensors read the change in airflow through the Nomad S. The ECU adjusts fuel delivery automatically to match, so the bike adapts to the new exhaust on its own.

If you currently have additional performance products installed, such as an intake or fueling change, we recommend asking your motorcycle mechanic or shop. You can also contact us and we will help point you in the right direction.

Yes. You can change the valve position and ride in any sound mode at any point in time.

Switch between Dr. Jekill, Dynamic, and Mr. Hyde mode from the handlebar control, giving you quiet control when you need it and a stronger exhaust note when you want it.

The Nomad S is an electronically adjustable exhaust available in street-legal configurations where applicable, designed around the stock setup of the motorcycle.

Street legality can depend on where you live and ride, so please check your local laws and requirements. If you have any questions, contact us before ordering and we can help point you in the right direction.

Please refer to the installation video online or the supplied paper instructions that come in the kit, so you always have two references to work from.

For a competent mechanic, installation is straightforward. Installation time can vary depending on tools, experience, and the condition of the motorcycle.

Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde® systems are premium exhaust systems built around advanced engineering, high quality materials, precise fitment, refined finishes, and electronically adjustable sound control.

Each system is developed specifically for the motorcycle and built with advanced components, including an electronically controlled valve system that gives you multiple sound modes at the push of a button.

When the time and place are right, you can switch to a deeper, more aggressive sound with the push of a button.

You are not just buying a muffler or another exhaust system. You are investing in premium engineering, advanced technology, model specific development, everyday flexibility, and a 4 year warranty.

Everything needed for installation, except for tools and time, comes inside the box.

The system includes the required exhaust components, electronic valve technology, handlebar control components, paper instructions, and hardware for the selected configuration.
