BMW Motorrad India has teased the upcoming F 900 GS and the F 900 GS Adventure on its social media platforms, ahead of their launch. The adventure bikes will replace the existing BMW F 850 GS and F 850 GS Adventure in India.

What’s New On The BMW F 900 GS & F 900 GS Adventure?

The BMW F 900 GS gets a rally-inspired design, making it look slimmer as compared to its predecessor, the BMW F 850 GS. It does not have a large front beak now. The F 900 GS also gets new body panels, and a fibre fuel tank instead of a metal one that makes the ADV sharper and lighter. At 229kg, the F 900 GS is 14kg lighter than the F 850 GS. The bike features a higher handlebar and lower foot pegs, which improves control during off-road riding and enhances comfort when riding on the road.

The BMW F 900 GS Adventure also gets new body panels and looks slightly sleeker now. However, it looks similar to the F 850 GSA and retains the beak at the front as well. It has a kerb weight of 246kg, which is 2kg less than the F 850 GS Adventure.

Engine

The BMW F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure are powered by an 895cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine that produces 105PS at 8500rpm and 93Nm at 6750rpm (10PS and 1Nm more than the F 850 GS), paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. Both bikes have a top speed of more than 200kmph.

Underpinnings

Both the ADVs get a 43mm Showa inverted fork with 230mm travel and a preload adjustable monoshock at the rear with 215mm travel. Braking is handled by 305mm dual discs at the front and a 265mm disc at the rear, with ABS. It rides on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, wrapped with 90-section and 150-section tubeless tyres, respectively
