Under that adventure-ready skin sits a brand-new 420cc parallel-twin engine (co-developed with TVS under their ongoing partnership) which puts down 48PS at 8,750rpm and 43Nm at 6,750rpm.
The production-spec F 450 GS gets an all-new tubular steel frame, a 135-degree crankpin offset and a balance shaft. Up front, you have a KYB 43mm USD fork, and at the back, a KYB monoshock with travel-dependent damping. With its 19/17-inch wheel setup, the new baby GS appears setup feels road-ready yet capable enough for the occasional trail. A short wheelbase keeps it agile, while a low kerb weight of just 178kg means it's not going to bully you at parking speeds. Braking duties are handled by Brembo (front) and Bybre (rear) calipers, with ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, and Dynamic Brake Light for added safety.
The F 450 GS comes loaded with rider rode modes : Rain, Road, and Enduro modes as standard, while higher trims get Enduro Pro for proper dirt duty. The 6.5-inch TFT display promises to be class-leading - crisp, colourful, and fully connected. Pair your phone, run navigation, play music, or even check lean angles, heated grips, LED lighting, USB-C charging.
The bike comes with comes with a two-part seat (845mm) as standard. The low Black rider's seat (830mm) and the high Rallye seat in Black/White/Red (865mm), available as part of the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories.
We can expect the F 450 GS to be launched in a couple of months and it will serve as an entry point to BMW's GS line-up and it will be locally assembled in India. The partnership between TVS and BMW has birthed the G 310 models and now the F 450 GS will serve as an entry point to BMW Motorrad.
