Overview

Introducing the 2021 BMW F 850 GS Edition 40 Years GS, a motorcycle that pays homage to four decades of adventure and exploration. This model stands as a tribute to the iconic GS lineage, blending heritage with cutting-edge technology for an exhilarating ride. Positioned in the Enduro-offroad category, the F 850 GS is crafted for riders who crave versatility and performance both on and off the beaten path. Its sleek design and striking yellow and black livery embody the spirit of adventure, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts who demand style as much as substance. At the heart of the F 850 GS lies a robust 853cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 76.4 horsepower at 7500 RPM and a torque of 83 Nm at 6000 RPM. This torque-rich engine ensures an exhilarating experience whether you're navigating tight trails or cruising down the highway, with a top speed of 190 km/h (118.1 mph) that promises thrill-seekers an adrenaline rush. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a smooth multiple-disc wet clutch, allows for seamless gear transitions, making it ideal for both urban commuting and off-road escapades. With a commendable fuel consumption rate of just 4.20 liters per 100 km, the F 850 GS ensures you can cover more ground with fewer stops. The motorcycle is equipped with a bridge-type frame that enhances stability and control, complemented by a front telescopic fork and a cast aluminum dual swing arm rear suspension, both offering an impressive travel of 170 mm. This setup provides a plush ride over rugged terrains while maintaining responsive handling on paved roads. The advanced braking system features double disc front brakes and a single disc at the rear, both equipped with ABS for optimal safety and performance. Furthermore, the adjustable rear suspension allows riders to tailor their setup for different riding conditions, enhancing the overall versatility of this adventure machine. **

Pros

  • Versatile Performance: The powerful engine and adjustable suspension make it equally adept on highways and off-road trails.

  • Seat Height: The seat height of 815 mm (32.1 inches) may not be suitable for shorter riders without adjustments.
  • Limited Storage Options: While designed for adventure, the F 850 GS may require additional accessories for extensive luggage capacity.
