It is time to set forth – into a new age, on a
new generation of enduro bikes. With low weight and abundant power reserves.
Able to cope with real terrain as well as perform amazing banking feats on
asphalt. An enduro bike like no other BMW Motorrad has made before: an 800 cc
machine with a full 85 bhp of horsepower and torque of 83 Nm weighing no more
than around 200 kg! State-of-the-art engine management with highly economical
fuel consumption, but abundant riding fun with powerful sound management, too:
truly unstoppable! With a space frame which is not only has a high level of
torsional stiffness but also allows room for lots of other highlights such as a
large airbox and fuel tank under the seat.
Fitted at the front with a 21-inch wheel which
provides constant directional stability even over off-road stretches, at the
rear with a full 17-inch wheel for the appropriate propulsion power – both
naturally with robust spokes. The dual disc at the front and the single disc at
the rear make for a breathtaking braking performance, with further safety
enhancement available from the optional ABS.
The chassis is adapted to the off-road concept and
has generous spring travel which can cope with the odd jump. Even though this
bike is perfect when it comes off the production line: it wouldn’t be a BMW if
there weren’t an extensive range of special accessories available for it – so
that you can make your BMW even more individual. This modern enduro – almost
like a fun bike in its naked state – can thus be turned into an adventurous
long-distance runner, not just visually but functionally too. Fuel up with a
quick test ride from your BMW Motorrad dealership – then start planning your
first trip!
This fall, the legendary GS gets even more legendary
with the incredible new F 800 GS. It's lean. It's mean. It's ready to tackle
everything from dual sport rides in the woods or desert to long-haul adventure
touring. With a lightweight design and eye-opening power,
The F 800 GS is the most off-road oriented GS ever
built. A parallel twin engine with 85 charging horses and 62 lb/feet of torque
give it startling speed and breathtaking acceleration. Throw in a dry weight of
just 392 lbs, six-speed gear box, switchable ABS, wide foot rests and a 4.2
gallon tank located under the seat for a low center of gravity, and you get a
enduro light enough for amazing handling no matter where you're headed. If you
want all the capabilities of the GS in a lighter, tighter, totally aggressive
package, the destined-to-be-a-classic F 800 GS is your ride.
