The BMW F450 GS replaces the older G310 GS and brings a much more mature, powerful and adventure-focused platform. times.motormitra.in It uses a new 450cc-class architecture developed under the BMW–TVS partnership, and production has already begun at TVS’ Hosur factory, which is BMW’s key manufacturing location for sub-500cc bikes worldwide.

Thanks to local assembly, the BMW F450 GS is expected to arrive at a competitive price, making it a premium yet accessible option for riders who want a capable ADV without stepping into heavy 650–900cc territory. Auto.MotorMitra

Engine, Power & Mechanical Highlights

The BMW F450 GS is powered by a 420cc parallel-twin engine, which delivers around 47–48 hp and 43 Nm of torque. motormitra.in For a mid-size ADV, these are strong numbers, especially when combined with a low kerb weight of about 178 kg.

This makes the bike responsive, easy to handle, and far more comfortable for long-distance touring than single-cylinder motorcycles in the same price bracket. Auto.MotorMitra 

Key mechanical features include:

• 6-speed gearbox with optional quickshifter
• USD front fork for better off-road stability
• Monoshock rear suspension
• 19-inch front / 17-inch rear wheel setup
• Dual-disc brakes + dual-channel ABS

BMW is also expected to offer multiple riding modes, traction control and possibly off-road tuned electronics for enhanced safety on gravel and trails.

The motorcycle’s weight distribution, seat height and narrow mid-section have been designed so both beginners and experienced riders can manage the bike easily. motormitra.in
