BMW Motorrad has presented the compact Concept F 450 GS at EICMA 2024. The small GS is finished in blue, white and red with a base color of racing blue metallic. The Enduro for A2 license holders is powered by an in-line two-cylinder engine. The 35 kW (48 hp) engine is said to feature an ignition offset that has never been used in a production engine before and offers plenty of torque even at low speeds. The study's chassis comes with a fully adjustable upside-down fork and a spring strut with travel-dependent damping. "Through the targeted use of lightweight construction and other state-of-the-art solutions, we can create a sensationally light vehicle close to the minimum weight requirement in the A2 class of 175 kg", says Marc Weber, lead engineer of the BMW Concept F 450 GS.
In addition, the F 450 GS is equipped with ABS Pro (dependent on lean angle), performance brakes and freely configurable driving modes. The networking is done via "BMW Connectivity" and the 6.5" TFT display. The production version is set to arrive in 2025: "Following the very sporty off-road focus of the Concept F 450 GS, we will implement the bike as close as possible to this concept", says Johann Simon, vehicle project manager of the Concept F 450 GS. In addition to a reduced seat height, lightweight but high-strength aluminum cast wheels could also be used.
