After the presentation of the new BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS last fall, it is finally time to welcome the Adventure version that so many have been waiting for. Created on the basis of the F 850 GS, this mid-range trail bike takes its qualities a step further to become a true globetrotter capable of riding on any type of terrain. Secondary roads, offroad areas, long stretches of motorway… this new BMW Motorrad model is prepared to reach its destination, making the person sitting at the controls enjoy it to the fullest.
As was the case with the current F 850 GS, the Adventure also debuts the new 853 cc, 95 hp parallel twin engine, which presents less vibration and improves the sound compared to the previous generation engine. In addition, it has a clutch with anti-hopping function and ‘road’ and ‘rain’ driving modes as part of the standard equipment. These electronic maps, together with ABS and ASC traction control, provide safety when driving on certain surfaces.
In any case, it is always possible to increase the endowment with the additional driving modes ‘Dynamic’, ‘Enduro’ and ‘Enduro Pro’, in addition to DTC dynamic traction control and ABS Pro, which further improve motorcycle control in slippery environments and other surfaces far from asphalt.
Not only the engine is new in the BMW F 850 GS Adventure, but also the rolled steel bridge frame with optimized suspension geometry. This chassis integrates the engine and provides advantages in terms of robustness and torsional rigidity. Above it, the 23-liter fuel tank is located in a new position which, thanks to the low consumption of the engine (4.1 l/100 km on average), allows distances of up to 550 kilometers to be covered between refuelings. Perfect for facing long journeys through remote places without fear of running out of fuel.
In terms of design, the trail features a larger, two-position adjustable windshield, hand guards, gear and brake levers that allow for different adjustments, engine crash bars and a stainless steel luggage rack. All this comes standard in the basic finish.
Apart from this, Exclusive and Rallye finishes are available, as well as an extensive list of options and accessories, including a seat with different heights, supports for aluminum cases, fairing panels, integral LED lighting, a TFT screen of 6.5 inches or the intelligent call system.
About its price and date of sale, nothing has been said at the EICMA Show in Milan, but what is clear is that at 11,950 euros for the BMW F 850 GS, an extra will have to be added for the extra equipment that the version raises. Adventure.
