BMW Motorrad has hinted at the launch timeline of the upcoming BMW F 450 GS in its latest Instagram post.

Here’s what the upcoming BMW F 450 GS gets:
BMW Motorrad India also showcased the F 450 GS concept bike at the Auto Expo 2025 in January. The design of the ADV is inspired from the bigger capacity BMW R 1300 GS. The F 450 GS will come with raised fenders, long travel suspension, and block pattern tyres and an upswept exhaust, giving it a proper ADV look.
The upcoming BMW F 450 GS will be powered by an all-new inline twin-cylinder engine which is claimed to deliver a peak power of 48PS, quite impressive for a sub-500cc bike. It gets a 6.5-inch TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity. The BMW ADV is expected to get rider aid features like cornering ABS (switchable), traction control, ride modes, and more.
Underpinnings on the BMW F 450 GS includes a long travel fully-adjustable inverted fork and a long travel pre-load adjustable monoshock. The bike is equipped with a disc brake at both ends, with dual channel ABS (likely to be switchable). The BMW adventure bike will come fitted with a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear cross-spoke wheel setup, wrapped with tubeless block-pattern tyres.
BMW Motorrad states that the F 450 GS will have a kerb weight of around 175kg, making it quite light for a 450cc ADV. In comparison, the Himalayan 450 weighs 196kg.
Expected India Launch Date & Price
We expect the upcoming BMW F 450 GS to be priced around the Rs 4,50,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) mark. We expect it to be unveiled at EICMA 2025. The adventure bike is likely to be launched in India sometime in early 2026.

- 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.
