BMW has taken the wraps off the highly anticipated production version of the F 450 GS at EICMA 2025. With the G 310 GS discontinued, this adventure bike will serve as the entry point into BMW’s GS line-up and will be made in India by TVS.
The production-spec version of the F 450 GS, revealed at EICMA, has a kerb weight of 178kg, gets quad-LED DRLs (daytime running lamps) inspired by the new R 1300 GS, a single disc brake at the front and a golden-coloured USD fork. Its 420cc twin-cylinder engine produces 48hp at 8,750 rpm and a peak torque of 43Nm at 6,750 rpm.
There are four variants – Basic, Exclusive, Sport and Trophy. The bike is equipped with the Easy Ride Clutch (ERC) for significantly improved operating and riding comfort, as well as dynamics. It is offered as standard in the GS Trophy trim level and can be retrofitted to all other variants.
The F 450 GS’s front end gets a KYB upside-down fork; the rear has a KYB monoshock, adjustable for spring preload and rebound, with travel-dependent damping. The braking system is by Brembo (front) and Bybre (rear), working in conjunction with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro for safe braking even when leaning. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Dynamic Brake Light are additional safety features.
