Updated: Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 12:48 [IST]

The all-new BMW F 900 GS and BMW F 900 GS Adventure have been introduced in India. Available as Completely Built-up Units (CBU), deliveries are set to begin in October 2024. The F 900 GS is priced at INR 13.75 Lakhs Ex-Showroom, while the F 900 GS Adventure is priced at INR 14.75 Lakhs Ex-Showroom.

Mr. Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India, stated, "The all-new BMW F 900 GS and BMW F 900 GS Adventure herald a new era in BMW Motorrad's off-road history. These are undoubtedly your 'Perfect enduros' that provide purist riding fun, thanks to their sophisticated off-road, touring and adventure capabilities."

Design and Features

Both models have undergone a complete redesign, showcasing a dynamic look that enhances their off-road capabilities and sportiness. The new tank side panels and radiator trim give the bikes a sleek appearance. The frame trims with the GS logo ensure optimal leg contact during off-road rides.

The ergonomic triangle of the handlebar, seat, and footrests has been optimised for off-road use. Handlebars are now positioned 15 mm higher than before, while Enduro footrests are placed 20 mm lower. This setup benefits riders standing up on rough terrain.

Performance Enhancements

The two-cylinder in-line engine of both models now delivers more power with an output of 77 kW (105 hp) at 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 93 Nm at 6,750 rpm. This results in better pulling power and faster acceleration across the speed range.

A bridge-type frame made from deep-drawn sheet steel parts integrates the engine as a supporting element. The redesigned rear section adds to the dynamic look of the bikes. Rear wheels are guided by an aluminium double-sided swinging arm with a directly linked central spring strut.

Lighting and Display Technology

Both models feature LED headlights that offer better illumination directly in front of the motorcycle, enhancing safety during night rides at low speeds. LED technology is also used for turn indicators and control lights.

A standard large 6.5-inch TFT display provides diverse information with high-quality presentation and user-friendliness. Riders can comfortably phone, listen to music, and navigate while riding.

Customisation Options

A wide range of original BMW Motorcycle accessories and gear is available for further personalisation of both models.

The all-new BMW F 900 GS makes a sporty statement with its Style Passion variant in São Paulo Yellow solid paint. Black-coated engine parts add a robust touch. The bike's dynamic look is enhanced by red rear frames and radiator trims matching the vehicle colour.

In contrast, the sportiest "GS Trophy" version features Lightwhite solid paint combined with Racing blue metallic accents. Hand protectors with aluminium brackets and an aluminium engine guard emphasise its off-road character.

For those seeking adventure-ready aesthetics, the BMW F 900 GS Adventure comes in Blackstorm metallic with newly designed radiator trims featuring the GS logo in white aluminium. Black components like the engine and fixed fork tubes blend harmoniously with this design.

Another variant of the BMW F 900 GS Adventure showcases White Aluminium matt finish signalling its long-distance travel qualities. New radiator trims with the GS logo complement this look along with a black-grey comfort bench seat.

These motorcycles signify a significant step forward in off-road motorcycling by combining advanced design elements with powerful performance enhancements.
