Concept, claim and characteristics
With two completely new enduro models, the F 800 GS and F 650 GS, BMW Motorrad is not just expanding its range of products but also presenting a worthy successor to the successful single-cylinder F 650 GS.

Even when parked, the amazing off-road-capable parallel twin F 800 GS travel enduro, with its sturdy appearance and long spring travel, implies what it can do off-road. It hints at fun riding on all types of road with added stamina and durability on journeys where the destination can only be reached on gravel tracks.

High levels of stability allied to easy handling are features shared by the two new GS models. Both offer high-quality workmanship, a safe chassis and impressive modern engines for maximum riding pleasure.

The parallel twins’ drive comes from the well-established F 800 model series, but beyond this, the new enduro models have been completely redesigned. A new frame and new wheel suspension with new spring-shock absorber elements are strong features. They will surpass the expectations of even the most demanding enduro riders. The previous model’s belt drive and single-strut swing arm, which are ideal for pure on-road use, have been replaced by a light chain drive in combination with a very stable and attractive aluminium profile, double-strut swing arm. These are more advantageous when off-road riding. The new GS models are not only in their element on twisty roads – it will also perform exceptionally off-road too.

The F 800 GS combines road and touring capabilities with superior off-road characteristics. It thus performs on both terrains in a way that has never before been achieved in its class. BMW Motorrad has positioned the versatile travel enduro at an attractive price, thus adding a real asset to the market.
