When it comes to a true Adventure bike, the ability to conquer every challenge is essential. Even if the terrain ahead may unexpectedly change for the worse, the riding experience must always be safe, smooth, and provide confidence to the rider. These are the values that the BMW GS F850 embodies.
Right from the first glance, the BMW GS F850 showcases itself as a distinguished Adventure model that cannot be mistaken for anything else: minimalist headlight, sleek windshield, wide handlebars with handguard protectors, and an integrated front mudguard. Meanwhile, the front suspension stands out with yellow paint, a large travel fork, spoke wheels, and off-road tires.
The asymmetrical headlight cluster is a trademark of BMW Motorrad adventure models. The slender LED strip surrounds the three LED headlight compartments, creating a unique, rebellious look unlike any other bike lights.
The front wheel has a 21-inch size, while the rear wheel is smaller at 17 inches but equipped with larger surface area tires for optimal traction on difficult terrains. Both wheels are spoked rims, ensuring durability and reliable off-road performance.
The front suspension features an upside-down USD fork with a 43mm diameter, combined with a monoshock rear suspension that can be adjusted for different load conditions. The front wheel is equipped with twin disc brakes with a 305mm diameter and double-piston calipers, while the rear wheel is equipped with a single disc brake with a 205mm diameter and a single-piston caliper.
The BMW GS F850 is equipped with a lightweight tubular steel frame, enhancing its ability to withstand tough operating conditions. At the rear of the bike, GS F850 is equipped with ready-to-install accessory pannier racks, capable of connecting up to 3 expandable luggage cases.
On top of the handlebars, the BMW GS F850 features a 6.5″ color TFT display that provides a wealth of intuitive information. It is also capable of connecting with a smartphone via Bluetooth.
Underneath the seat is a 853cc twin-cylinder engine, enabling the BMW GS F850 to achieve a maximum power of 95 horsepower and a peak torque of 92 Nm. Combined with a 6-speed transmission, the bike can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 km/h. Meanwhile, the fuel consumption of the bike is impressive – only 4.2 L/100 km.
Furthermore, BMW has equipped the GS F850 with a variety of different riding modes, providing a range of sensitivity levels for the electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle, allowing the rider to operate the bike flexibly in specific conditions.
The “Rain” and “Road” modes correspond to wet or dry asphalt road conditions. The “Dynamic” mode is optimized to deliver the most impressive acceleration. Meanwhile, “Enduro,” or even more hardcore, “Enduro Pro,” will help you conquer various off-road terrains.
Some accompanying safety features include: ABS anti-lock brakes, Dynamic ESA electronic suspension system, Dynamic DTC traction control system, ASC automatic stability control system, and intelligent locking system…
BMW GS F850 has a suggested retail price of 599 million VND, along with two different color options and a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty from Thaco, the distributor.
