The new BMW F 850 GS Adventure.

For more than ten years, the GS models in the BMW Motorrad F series
have embodied the premium range in the middle class travel and
adventure enduro segment. High-level touring capability, absolute
long-distance suitability, sporty dynamic riding and superior offroad
qualities are its outstanding strengths.

Following the newly developed BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS
presented in autumn 2017, the new F 850 GS Adventure now expands the
premium BMW Motorrad range in this segment. Based on the dynamic and
offroad oriented character of the F 850 GS, the new Adventure ideally
unites agility and touring capability as well as increased offroad
competence and outstanding long-distance qualities. Like the legendary
boxer-engined BMW GS Adventure role models, the new F 850 GS
Adventures now offers dedicated travel enduro riders, offroad oriented
touring riders and globetrotters the perfect companion in the middle
class for exploring the remote corners of the planet by motorcycle.

New, powerful and refined 2-cylinder in-line engine with 90
degree crankpin offset and 270/450 degree ignition
spacing.
The developers achieved a powerful and
emotionally appealing sound by employing a crankshaft with a 90 degree
crankpin offset and 270/450 degree ignition spacing. Vibrations are
absorbed by the new engine’s two counterbalance shafts. A
self-amplifying, anti-hopping clutch not only provides a discernible
reduction in the hand clutch operating force but also enhances safety
on the road through the drop in engine drag torque. Power transmission
to the rear wheel comes from the six-speed gearbox with secondary
drive that is now positioned on the left-hand side.

The riding modes “Road” and “Rain” plus ABS and ASC ensure
plenty of riding enjoyment and enhanced safety as standard. Pro
riding modes available as optional equipment.
The new
F850 GS Adventure addresses individual rider requirements by offering
“Rain” and “Road” riding modes as standard, while the combination of
BMW Motorrad ABS and the ASC automatic stability control ensure a high
level of safety. Thanks to the standard dynamic brake light, traffic
behind the rider is made even more aware of the braking motorcycle.
The F 850 GS Adventure can be fitted ex works with optional equipment,
such as “Pro” riding modes and in turn the additional “Dynamic”,
“Enduro” and “Enduro Pro” riding modes as well as the DTC dynamic
traction control and banking capable ABS Pro.

New sheet steel bridge frame, optimised suspension geometry
and new positioning of the 23-litre fuel tank.
The
bridge frame of the new F 850 GS Adventure is made of deep-drawn,
welded components. It integrates the 2-cylinder in-line engine as a
co-supporting element and offers benefits in terms of torsional
rigidity and robustness. The fuel tank has been placed in the classic
position between the seat and the steering head, for optimised
packaging and an improved centre of gravity. In the F 850 GS Adventure
it holds 23 litres and permits a range of 550 kilometres and more in
combination with the model’s low fuel consumption.

Sharper, even more masculine Adventure design, optimised
ergonomics and increased globetrotter
suitability.
 
New, more masculine body design emphasises
the F 850 GS Adventure’s globetrotter suitability. A larger
windshield, which can be adjusted in two stages, as well as hand
protectors provide increased wind and weather protection. Wide enduro
footrests, adjustable shift and foot brake levers as well as engine
protection bars and a stainless steel luggage rack round off the F 850
GS Adventure’s standard equipment. In addition to the basic version,
the new F 850 GS Adventure is available in Exclusive and Rallye style variations.

Unique range of optional equipment and
accessories
.
The new F 850 GS Adventure is being
launched with a range of equipment options that is unique for the
middle class. Whether different seat heights, such as the seat bench
for two (corresponds to standard F 850 GS seat bench), the case holder
for a the aluminium cases and trim panels, the new full LED headlight
as well as the LED additional headlight, the Connectivity equipment
