BMW F 450 GS: Every new season, adventure bike lovers eagerly anticipate something fresh and powerful, and this time the spotlight is on BMW’s new F 450 GS. After its initial unveiling at EICMA 2025, BMW Motorrad is now fully prepared to launch it in India. Sales are expected to begin in January 2026. This motorcycle, with its compact yet impressive road presence, is poised to make a big impact in the mid-capacity adventure segment.

The F 450 GS, which sits under F 850 GS in BMW’s Adventure lineup, is already visible in many international markets. Its production has begun in TVS’s Hosur factory, a large milestone for the TVS-BMW partnership.
Despite compact size, the design of the bike gives the prop ADV look which is an upright riding stance, beak-style front and signature X-shaped LED headlamp making it extremely attractive. BMW has kept its dimensions slightly lower so that new riders can also handle it easily, but no compromise was done on visual appeal.

Talking about the bike’s engine, it has a new 420 cc parallell-twin engine with 135-degree crankpin offset. This reduces vibrations by keeping the setup power delivery smooth.
This motor gives a power output of 48 hp and 43 Nm, which is quite punky for adventure riding. This is accompanied by a 6-speed gearbox, which comes with slipper & assist clutch standard to make gear shifting buttery smooth.

BMW claims that the F 450 GS can deliver a fuel efficiency of approximately 3.8 liters per 100 km. This means its range in global markets will be around 350 km.
A notable feature is its semi-automatic clutch system, which significantly reduces the need for clutch input in low-speed traffic or off-road terrain. The GS Trophy variant comes standard with Shift Assistant Pro, while it is offered as an option on lower trims.

- Off-road friendly footpegs
- Aluminum bash plate
- Hand guards
- Improved suspension hardware
- Sporty color options like Racing Red and Racing Blue Metallic
Its standard riding modes include Rain, Road, and Enduro, while Enduro Pro is exclusive to the top trims. The bike features a large 6.5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth, navigation, and smartphone connectivity. Heated grips and a USB-C charging port are also included.
