BMW F 450 GS To Launch In India Tomorrow
Everything you need to know about the most affordable BMW ADV
The much-awaited BMW F 450 GS is finally set to make its India debut tomorrow, April 23, 2026. The bike was first unveiled at EICMA 2025, where it generated a lot of excitement among enthusiasts, and now it is ready to hit Indian roads. ?
It will be positioned as BMW’s new entry-level ADV, since the G 310 GS is now discontinued. It will also mark the brand’s shift to a sub-500cc twin-cylinder platform in this segment. It will be manufactured in India, in collaboration with TVS, which should help BMW price it competitively.
It will be available in four variants: Cosmic Black, Exclusive, Sport, and GS Trophy. The Cosmic Black is the base variant that misses out on a tall visor, knuckle guards, and will have rubber padded footpegs. While the major difference between the Exclusive and Sport variant is going to be the colours. The GS Trophy however, will sit as the top spec variant, and will also get the Easy Ride Clutch and Sport suspension. All the variants will have alloy wheels as standard, while the spoked wheels will be optional.
Powering the F 450 GS will be an all-new 420cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled motor producing 48PS, 43Nm, and paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle will use a lightweight tubular steel frame and weigh around 178kg. It will ride on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup with dual-purpose tyres, making it suitable for both on-road and off-road duties. ?
In terms of features, the F 450 GS will use a 6.5-inch TFT instrument console, multiple riding modes, switchable dual-channel ABS, switchable traction control, and a bidirectional quickshifter. In terms of the design, it stays true to BMW’s GS family, with a beak-style front, aggressive stance, and modern LED lighting.
Bookings for the F 450 GS have already begun ahead of launch. Interested buyers can reserve the bike by visiting their nearest BMW Motorrad dealership. Overall, the BMW F 450 GS, will come with promising specs and a strong brand value. It is expected to be priced at around Rs 5.50 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), and will compete with bikes like the Honda NX500 and the Benelli TRK 502. While its other single-cylinder rivals will be the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the KTM 390 Adventure.

- About the bikeIt was my dream bike and it's so reliable and smooth. It has many features, like multiple riding mods and the trophy version has a ERC that means (easy riding clutch) it is very helpful to the beginners. The handling of the bike is very smooth and it gives around 20 to 24 milage on an average in highways and its seats are so much comfortable and it has a heating grips which helps me in early morning rides. I like to recommend this bike to the proper off-road bikers and they love this very much because of its handling and ERC you can also adjust the suspensions of both side and have a good off-road experience.Read More1
