BMW F900 GS

BMW Motorrad India has announced the prices of the new F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure after commencing bookings sometime back for the adventure bikes. The F 900 GS has been priced at Rs 13.75 lakh, while the F 900 GS Adventure carries a sticker tag of Rs 14.75 lakh, both ex-showroom. Both motorcycles will be shipped to India as completely built-up units and will be sold in two colour options each, Passion and GS Trophy for the former, and Blackstorm Metallic and Ride Pro for the latter.

The new BMW F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure feature a refined design emphasising comfort, ergonomics, and riding triangle. The front section, along with the adjacent side fairings, has been made more streamlined, offering a cleaner, more minimalist look. In terms of features, the motorcycles are equipped with a variety of modern rider aids that include multiple riding modes, traction control for enhanced stability, and switchable ABS, which can be adjusted depending on whether the rider is riding on or off-road. The motorcycle also features a large TFT colour instrumentation that is Bluetooth enabled, keyless ignition, and full LED lighting.

The most significant change in the new BMW F 900 GS is its substantial weight reduction. Compared to the F 850 GS, the F 900 GS sheds 14 kilograms, thanks to several updates, including a new chassis, a lighter plastic fuel tank, a revised battery, and the Akrapovic rear muffler. These adjustments contribute to improved handling and overall agility. For the F 900 GS Adventure, the motorcycle comes with an adjustable touring windscreen, an aluminium sump guard, auxiliary lights, and a large 23-litre fuel tank.

In terms of powertrain, the F 900 GS is equipped with a completely reworked liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. The displacement has been increased to 895 cc, allowing the engine to deliver a maximum power output of 105 bhp and 93 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, enhancing its performance and making it a well-rounded option for both on-road and off-road adventures.
