Motorcycle specifications BMWF 450 GS Concept 2025 A new approach

A long time ago, BMW tried its hand at a muscular enduro with the G 450 X. The test was not very conclusive... So when the brand returns to this displacement with an off-road bike, it's with an entirely different spirit. The next F 450 GS will be a bridge between the G 310 GS and the F 800 GS. In other words, a GS specially calibrated for A2 license holders. The Concept shows an unprecedented machine, almost ready for production.

Newly designed twin-cylinder engine.

The BMW Concept F 450 GS delivers on the promise of cutting-edge technology. The in-line twin-cylinder engine was developed from scratch and, thanks to a special, never-before-used ignition timing, stands out for its character and ability to rev up. Rated A2, this engine delivers a full 35 kW (47.5 hp) and superior torque, even at low revs.

The engine's extremely compact dimensions, excellent displacement/power ratio and low weight are the result of innovative solutions and the use of lightweight materials such as magnesium.

A machine designed for both on- and off-road riding.

Chassis-wise, too, the BMW Concept F 450 GS sets new standards in this segment, thanks to cutting-edge technology. " We were able to start the development of this model with a clean slate. The aim was to achieve excellent off-road capability and, at the same time, agile, precise handling on the road. That's why the BMW Concept F 450 GS features a fully adjustable upside-down fork and load-sensing shock absorber, inspired by rally-raid and enduro technology. The targeted use of lightweight constructions and other cutting-edge solutions enables us to create a sensationally light motorcycle, close to the minimum weight requirement of 175 kg for the A2 class ," says Marc Weber, chief engineer of the BMW Concept F 450 GS.

Comprehensive safety and comfort features.

Inspired by its big sister, the BMW R 1300 GS, the BMW Concept F 450 GS also sets new standards in safety and equipment for a motorcycle in this class. Relevant features range from BMW Motorrad PRO ABS (depending on lean angle) to high-performance brakes (Brembo / Bybre) and freely configurable riding modes. BMW's on-board connectivity and 6.5" TFT display allow you to connect your bike, smartphone and other accessories.

A glimpse of the future.

The question that arises when looking at the BMW Concept F 450 GS is: What can we expect from a production version? Johann Simon, project manager for the BMW Concept F 450 GS, explains: " No compromises, that's for sure. Given the off-road orientation of the BMW Concept F 450 GS, we'll be building a bike as close as possible to this concept. We'll just adjust the seat height for better accessibility and handling. To replace the cross-spoke wheels (19-inch front, 17-inch rear), lightweight but very strong cast aluminum wheels of the same dimensions are also conceivable. "

BMW plans to present the production model derived from the BMW Concept F 450 GS in 2025.
