BMW Motorrad has introduced the new 2024 BMW F 800 GS , F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure models . The models have been redesigned to heighten the mid-range segments by focusing on the riders ’ needs with more features and equipment .
The F 800 GS is the ideal entry-level model with a new , more powerful motor and new standard equipment . The F 900 GS is a brand-new motorcycle with a greater focus on off-road experiences through a significant reduction in weight , more power and more equipment . The F 900 GS Adventure is the perfect companion for short and long-distance touring , both on and off-road .
DRIVETRAIN The 2−cylinder in-line engine already used in the BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR with 895cc ( previously 853cc ) capacity delivers more performance for the models thanks to significantly increased output . In the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure , it generates 105 hp at 8,500 rpm ( previously 95 hp ) and has a maximum torque of 68.6 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm ( previously : 67.8 lb-ft ). In the F 800 GS an output of 87 hp is available at 6,750 rpm ( previously 77 hp ) as well as 67 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm ( previously 61 lb-ft ).
Compared to the predecessor models , output and torque have been increased and the torque curve is now significantly greater over the entire speed range . This results in noticeably more pulling power and faster acceleration .

The increase in output and fuller torque were achieved by increasing the engine capacity by enlarging the cylinder bore by 2mm to 86mm with a stroke of 77mm . In addition , the cylinder heads were updated , and new forged pistons ( previously cast pistons ) were used . The engine , with a compression of 13.1:1 , now has a crankshaft with crankshaft journals offset by 90 degrees and a 270 / 450 degree firing interval . This is accompanied by a particularly powerful sound similar to that of a 90−degree V-twin engine . This sound experience is rounded off by a stainless-steel exhaust system . The new F 900 GS also comes with a standard Akrapovič sport rear muffler which saves 3.7 pounds in weight compared to the muffler on the predecessor model .
RIDING MODES , DTC AND ENGINE DRAG TORQUE CONTROL
The new F 800 GS , F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure offer two standard riding modes : “ Rain ” and “ Road .” Dynamic Traction Control ( DTC ), which ensures a high level of riding safety , is also standard . The new F models can be equipped with optional Riding Modes Pro . It includes the additional riding modes “ Dynamic ” and “ Enduro ” as well as “ Enduro Pro ” for the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure . Riding Modes Pro also allows the rider to pre-select up to four riding modes for the button assignment on the right-hand handlebar controls . Engine Drag Torque Control is a further new component of Riding Modes Pro .

SUSPENSION The new F 800 GS , F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure rely on a trellis frame made of deep-drawn sheet steel parts welded together , which integrates the 2−cylinder in-line engine as a load-bearing element . The bolted-on steel rear frame makes it possible to create a visually short and slim rear end . The 3.8−gallon plastic tank of the new F 900 GS is a completely new development saving 9.9 pounds of weight compared to the steel fuel tank of the previous model . |
