The adventure motorcycle world is buzzing with excitement as BMW Motorrad prepares to launch the BMW F 450 GS. Positioned between the entry-level G 310 GS and the bigger GS siblings, this all-new middleweight adventure tourer aims to strike the right balance of performance, comfort, and versatility.
Powered by a newly developed 450cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine, the F 450 GS is expected to deliver around 48 bhp, giving riders a smooth and refined performance both on highways and rough terrains. The bike is built with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, supported by USD forks and a rear monoshock, ensuring stability and adaptability across varied riding conditions.
On the tech side, BMW is packing the F 450 GS with features that riders will truly appreciate. Expect a 6.5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, multiple riding modes, cornering ABS, and advanced traction control. Some versions may even offer a semi-automatic gearbox, giving riders a futuristic edge in shifting convenience.
Weighing around 175 kg (concept version), the motorcycle is expected to remain nimble yet sturdy once in full production. Built in partnership with TVS in India, the F 450 GS is likely to carry a competitive price tag of around Rs.4 – 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom). This could make it a serious rival to machines like the KTM 390 Adventure and Honda NX500.
With its GS DNA, the F 450 GS looks ready to handle long touring routes, urban commutes, and mild off-roading with equal confidence. Whether it’s daily rides or adventure trails, this motorcycle is shaping up to be a versatile companion for enthusiasts waiting for a step up from the entry-level ADV segment.
