The new BMW F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS: The new premium mid-range touring enduros provide purist riding fun thanks to even more sophisticated off-road, touring and adventure capabilities.
With the new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS BMW Motorrad is significantly boosting its product range of touring enduros for the mid-range. While the new BMW F 800 GS is the ideal bike, especially for entry-level riders, the BMW F 900 GS Adventure is very well suited for extended adventure trips and for long, demanding tours. All three models have been significantly updated and now offer, among other things, an even higher level of standard equipment in addition to a new drive. The F 900 GS features many far-reaching innovations. The motorcycle’s range of uses has been considerably expanded thanks to its enhanced off-road qualities combined with a drastic weight reduction of 14 kg compared to the predecessor model making it a particularly sporty F Series model.
Drive with advanced 2-cylinder in-line engine with greater capacity, more output and engine drag torque control.
In the new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS the advanced 2-cylinder in-line engine introduced in 2018 with the F 850 GS provides increased riding dynamics. The main reason for this is the increased capacity 895 cc (previously 853 cc). With a 270/450 degree firing interval, the engine generates a particularly emotional sound. In the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure it puts out 77 kW (105 hp) and in the F 800 GS 64 kW (87 hp). In addition to a significant increase in peak power of 10 hp each, the new engines are also characterised by a much fuller torque curve, increased pulling power and faster acceleration.
Two riding modes, ABS Pro and DTC as standard. Riding modes Pro with additional riding modes, riding mode pre-selection and engine drag torque control as optional equipment ex works.
The new GS models in the F series already offer the two riding modes “Rain” and “Road” as standard. Dynamic Traction Control DTC, the cornering-optimised ABS Pro and the dynamic brake light. With “riding modes Pro” available as optional equipment ex works, the dynamic qualities of the new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS can be exploited even more intensively thanks to additional riding modes, the riding mode pre-selection and the engine drag torque control as well as Dynamic Brake Control DBC.
BMW F 900 GS with new, significantly lighter plastic fuel tank and rear section. New, fully adjustable upside-down telescopic forks on the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure.
The new F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS rely on a bridge-type frame made of deep-drawn sheet steel parts welded together, which integrates the 2-cylinder in-line engine as a supporting element. The 14.5-litre plastic fuel tank of the new F 900 GS is a completely new development saving 4.5 kg of weight compared to the steel tank of the previous model. The F 900 GS features a completely redesigned rear section which makes it look even more dynamic and save around 2.4 kg of weight. A further 1.7 kg are saved thanks to the rear silencer by Akrapovič. The front wheel on the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure is guided by new, fully adjustable upside-down telescopic forks by Showa.

Adjustable Showa fork
Enduro hand protector including metal bracket
Additional handlebar risers
Distinctive GS logo
Adjustable suspension strut
Adjustable gearshift and brake lever
Akrapovič rear silencer
As if built for you
The ergonomic triangle of the F 900 GS has been optimized for off-road use: higher handlebars, lower footrests. The footbrake lever is also higher and thus easier to reach, partly due to the lower rests. The folding foot plate also provides optimal accessibility. The adjustable gearshift levers allow you to assume the perfect position. Whether you’re riding with boots for the street or off-road, standing or sitting. Leaving your comfort zone has never been more comfortable.
Well equipped for any terrain
The body of the F 900 GS has been upgraded not only visually and technically, but also in terms of comfort and safety. The hand protectors provide more safety. Made of plastic as standard, they offer increased wind and weather protection. The Enduro hand protectors with metal brackets also lend additional protection, especially for action-oriented riders of the F 900 GS Trophy. With the optionally available preparation for navigation devices, you can attach a BMW navigation device or other devices, such as an action cam, to the motorbike.
The destination always in sight
The ConnectedRide Navigator clearly shows you everything you need to know on the road. In addition to important vehicle information, it provides you with current traffic information and, thanks to regular map updates, you can be sure to always reach your destinations. Its robust hardware can handle just about anything. And with the BMW Motorrad Connected app, you can also integrate your smartphone content.
Less weight, more confidence
The F 900 GS is astonishingly lightweight. You’ll notice that it weighs only 219 kg* especially when you’re kicking up sand off-road, ploughing through gravel or climbing mountains. New parts such as the plastic tank, the battery, the rear and the Akrapovič rear silencer, among other things, ensure the low weight. The comparatively low weight manifests in superior handling and high performance.
*(at DIN kerb weight)
Achieve everything with the right drive
Whether you’re on the straight asphalt or rough terrain: the parallel-twin engine of the F 900 GS delivers maximum riding pleasure on every surface. Two-cylinder in-line engine offers more peak power with an improved torque curve. With its optimised power curve, the F 900 GS reaches a peak output of 77 kW (105 hp) at 8,500 rpm. The broad torque curve offers up to 93 Nm at 6,750 rpm.
Strong in character and self-confident
Even the design of the GS shows: here comes someone who doesn’t let obstacles stop them. The three different paint options with an expressive tape design give each F 900 GS its own personality. Which one are you having?
New and yet familiar: the body
The F 900 GS is ready to break new ground, right down to the smallest detail. Its body has an ultra-sporty shape. The tank trim including radiator cowl looks very slender. The frame trims create good contact with the vehicle, especially when riding stood up. The standard windscreen is the optimum size for Enduro use. The small, distinctive GS beak boldly points the way towards your next challenge. The GS logo says that you ride at the head of the pack.
Lightweight and slender: the rear and tank
A milestone not only in terms of weight optimization but also for the vehicle design is the lightweight plastic tank. It weighs 62% less than a steel tank, yet holds a full 14.5 litres – enough fuel for your adventures. The rear is altogether slim, and the GS has become light as a result. You can easily attach soft bags, rucksacks or aluminium cases here.
The Enduro Pro package is the perfect upgrade for those who prefer off-road to on-road riding. It contains black handlebars with handlebar risers made from an aluminium forging. This makes the handlebars another 24 millimetres higher than the standard handlebars. Also included in the package is the sports suspension, with 45 mm, fully adjustable golden Showa fork and fully adjustable Sachs suspension strut with expansion tank. The robust M Endurance chain rounds the package off.
The dynamics package, including riding modes Pro and shift assistant Pro, offers improved safety and athleticism. You choose the riding mode to suit the situation – “Rain” for wet and “Road” for dry surface conditions. With “Dynamic”, you get the max out of your F 900 GS on the asphalt. “Enduro” sets your bike up perfectly for off-road routes. The shift assistant Pro gives you even more control in unexpected situations.
Everything as you want it
You probably already have very clear ideas about your bike. What should it look like, the F 900 GS that perfectly suits you and your ideas? Take a look at our suggestions and let yourself be inspired.
New Enduro Pro package for the new F 900 GS and Dynamic ESA for the new
F 900 GS Adventure and the F 800 GS optionally available ex works.
The new F 900 GS can be given even more off-road prowess with the optional equipment ex works Enduro Pro package featuring fully adjustable titanium nitride-coated upside-down telescopic forks, fully adjustable central spring strut as well as handlebar risers and M Endurance chain. The Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) electronic suspension is available as optional equipment for the new F 900 GS Adventure and the
F 800 GS.
New BMW F 900 GS with ergonomics optimised for off-road use, enduro footrests and aluminium side stand. Optimised adjustable gearshift lever and, on the
F 900 GS, a new foot brake lever as well.
The increased off-road qualities of the new F 900 GS are expressed by the ergonomic triangle (handlebar – seat – footrests) optimised for off-road use. Lower footrests in combination with the higher handlebar position and the new design of the fuel tank provide clear advantages, especially when riding standing up on rough terrain.
All three new models already offer an adjustable gearshift lever as standard. In conjunction with an optimised bearing and new gearshift lever kinematics, it was also possible to optimise shifting the six-speed transmission even further. The F 900 GS also features a new foot brake lever in a higher position.
New LED headlight on the BMW F 900 GS. All models feature powerful LED light units.
Compared to the predecessor model, the LED headlight on the new BMW F 900 GS offers a larger low beam opening angle and thus better illumination directly in front of the motorcycle. The new F 900 GS Adventure and the F 800 GS also feature LED headlights as standard. Furthermore, the turn indicator and control lights of all three models also use LED technology.
Connectivity – unrivalled information diversity and functionality in the form of a large, perfectly readable 6.5-inch TFT display. The new BMW F 900 GS comes as standard with multifunction holder to accommodate navigation devices, action cams and more.
The new GS models in the F series already each have a large 6.5-inch TFT display as standard. This applies in particular to the F 800 GS, which previously had an analogue display. Information diversity, quality of presentation and, last but not least, user-friendliness are unrivalled. Phoning, listening to music and navigating while riding is very comfortable. The new BMW F 900 GS is already equipped with a 12 mm holder as standard, which permits action cams or other devices to be mounted. In order to install the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator or the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Cradle, the “navigation preparation” option is also required.
BMW F 900 GS with new body dimensions, clear design and colour scheme highlighting its off-road qualities, sportiness and dynamic performance.
The new BMW F 900 GS has been completely redesigned and benefits from a dynamic design that signals increased off-road qualities and sportiness, as well as visually highlighting the 14 kg of lowered weight. One of the key points of the new design is the redesigned plastic fuel tank, which allowed for a much slimmer and ergonomically more favourable design with a capacity of only 0.5 litres less than the previous model. New, close-fitting tank side panels, together with a new radiator trim give the new F 900 GS a sleek, sporty and off-road-oriented look. Off-road qualities, sportiness and dynamic performance are also reflected in the entire rear section, which is significantly narrower and more dynamic than the predecessor model. The dynamic appearance of the new
F 900 GS is further enhanced by the sporty rear silencer by Akrapovič. The new F 900 GS is available as a basic version in Blackstorm metallic, as a Passion model version in São Paulo yellow solid paint and as a GS Trophy version in Lightwhite solid paint/Racing Blue metallic.
New attractive model variants and colour schemes for the
F 900 GS Adventure and F 800 GS.
The new F 900 GS Adventure is available as a basic variant in Blackstorm metallic and as a Ride Pro model variant in matt White Aluminium. The new F 800 GS is available as a basic variant in Lightwhite solid paint, as a Sport model variant in Racing Blue and as a Triple Black version in Blackstorm metallic.
