The new BMW F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS: The new
premium mid-range touring enduros provide purist riding fun thanks
to even more sophisticated off-road, touring and adventure
capabilities.
With the new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure
and F 800 GS BMW Motorrad is significantly boosting its product range
of touring enduros for the mid-range. While the new BMW F 800 GS is
the ideal bike, especially for entry-level riders, the BMW F 900 GS
Adventure is very well suited for extended adventure trips and for
long, demanding tours. All three models have been significantly
updated and now offer, among other things, an even higher level of
standard equipment in addition to a new drive. The F 900 GS features
many far-reaching innovations. The motorcycle’s range of uses has been
considerably expanded thanks to its enhanced off-road qualities
combined with a drastic weight reduction of 14 kg compared to the
predecessor model making it a particularly sporty F Series model.
Drive with advanced 2-cylinder in-line engine with greater
capacity, more output and engine drag torque
control.
In the new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F
800 GS the advanced 2-cylinder in-line engine introduced in 2018 with
the F 850 GS provides increased riding dynamics. The main reason for
this is the increased capacity 895 cc (previously 853 cc). With a
270/450 degree firing interval, the engine generates a particularly
emotional sound. In the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure it puts out 77
kW (105 hp) and in the F 800 GS 64 kW (87 hp). In addition to a
significant increase in peak power of 10 hp each, the new engines are
also characterised by a much fuller torque curve, increased pulling
power and faster acceleration.
Two riding modes, ABS Pro and DTC as standard. Riding modes
Pro with additional riding modes, riding mode pre-selection and
engine drag torque control as optional equipment ex
works.
The new GS models in the F series already offer
the two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" as
standard. Dynamic Traction Control DTC, the cornering-optimised ABS
Pro and the dynamic brake light. With "riding modes Pro"
available as optional equipment ex works, the dynamic qualities of the
new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS can be exploited even
more intensively thanks to additional riding modes, the riding mode
pre-selection and the engine drag torque control as well as Dynamic
Brake Control DBC.
BMW F 900 GS with new, significantly lighter plastic fuel tank
and rear section. New, fully adjustable upside-down telescopic forks
on the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure.
The new F 900
GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS rely on a bridge-type frame made
of deep-drawn sheet steel parts welded together, which integrates the
2-cylinder in-line engine as a supporting element. The 14.5-litre
plastic fuel tank of the new F 900 GS is a completely new development
saving 4.5 kg of weight compared to the steel tank of the previous
model. The F 900 GS features a completely redesigned rear section
which makes it look even more dynamic and save around 2.4 kg of
weight. A further 1.7 kg are saved thanks to the rear silencer by
Akrapovič. The front wheel on the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure is
guided by new, fully adjustable upside-down telescopic forks by Showa.
New Enduro Pro package for the new F 900 GS and Dynamic ESA
for the new F 900 GS Adventure and the F 800 GS optionally available
ex works.
The new F 900 GS can be given even more
off-road prowess with the optional equipment ex works Enduro Pro
package featuring fully adjustable titanium nitride-coated upside-down
telescopic forks, fully adjustable central spring strut as well as
handlebar risers and M Endurance chain. The Dynamic ESA (Electronic
Suspension Adjustment) electronic suspension is available as optional
equipment for the new F 900 GS Adventure and the F 800 GS.
New BMW F 900 GS with ergonomics optimised for off-road use,
enduro footrests and aluminium side stand. Optimised adjustable
gearshift lever and, on the F 900 GS, a new foot brake lever as
well.
The increased off-road qualities of the new F 900
GS are expressed by the ergonomic triangle (handlebar - seat -
footrests) optimised for off-road use. Lower footrests in combination
with the higher handlebar position and the new design of the fuel tank
provide clear advantages, especially when riding standing up on rough terrain.
All three new models already offer an adjustable gearshift lever
as standard. In conjunction with an optimised bearing and new
gearshift lever kinematics, it was also possible to optimise shifting
the six-speed transmission even further. The F 900 GS also features a
new foot brake lever in a higher position.
New LED headlight on the BMW F 900 GS. All models feature
powerful LED light units.
Compared to the predecessor
model, the LED headlight on the new BMW F 900 GS offers a larger low
beam opening angle and thus better illumination directly in front of
the motorcycle. The new F 900 GS Adventure and the F 800 GS also
feature LED headlights as standard. Furthermore, the turn indicator
and control lights of all three models also use LED technology.
Connectivity - unrivalled information diversity and
functionality in the form of a large, perfectly readable 6.5-inch
TFT display. The new BMW F 900 GS comes as standard with
multifunction holder to accommodate navigation devices, action cams
and more.
The new GS models in the F series already
each have a large 6.5-inch TFT display as standard. This applies in
particular to the F 800 GS, which previously had an analogue display.
Information diversity, quality of presentation and, last but not
least, user-friendliness are unrivalled. Phoning, listening to music
and navigating while riding is very comfortable. The new BMW F 900 GS
is already equipped with a 12 mm holder as standard, which permits
action cams or other devices to be mounted. In order to install the
BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator or the BMW Motorrad Connected
Ride Cradle, the "navigation preparation” option is also required.
BMW F 900 GS with new body dimensions, clear design and colour
scheme highlighting its off-road qualities, sportiness and dynamic
performance.
The new BMW F 900 GS has been completely
redesigned and benefits from a dynamic design that signals increased
off-road qualities and sportiness, as well as visually highlighting
the 14 kg of lowered weight. One of the key points of the new design
is the redesigned plastic fuel tank, which allowed for a much slimmer
and ergonomically more favourable design with a capacity of only 0.5
litres less than the previous model. New, close-fitting tank side
panels, together with a new radiator trim give the new F 900 GS a
sleek, sporty and off-road-oriented look. Off-road qualities,
sportiness and dynamic performance are also reflected in the entire
rear section, which is significantly narrower and more dynamic than
the predecessor model. The dynamic appearance of the new F 900 GS is
further enhanced by the sporty rear silencer by Akrapovič. The new F
900 GS is available as a basic version in Blackstorm metallic, as a
Passion model version in São Paulo yellow solid paint and as a GS
Trophy version in Lightwhite solid paint/Racing Blue metallic.
New attractive model variants and colour schemes for the
F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS.
The new F 900
GS Adventure is available as a basic variant in Blackstorm metallic
and as a Ride Pro model variant in matt White Aluminium. The new F 800
GS is available as a basic variant in Lightwhite solid paint, as a
Sport model variant in Racing Blue and as a Triple Black version in
Blackstorm metallic.
