BMW has unleashed a new off-road oriented sibling to its single-cylinder G650GS, dubbed the G650GS Serto.
The Serto is built for the wilderness, with a name that translates to “wilderness” in Portuguese.

Longer travel springs and wire-spoke wheels are just the beginning, with a host of upgrades that set the Serto apart from its more road-focused sibling. The 41mm diameter forks now travel up to 8.3 inches, while the rear swingarm boasts the same generous clearance. Tubed tires and a taller seat height complete the off-road package, with a commanding riding position that’s perfect for tackling the toughest trails.
The Serto’s engine and components are adorned with a striking Aura white and Arroyo blue color scheme, while a range of off-road ready accessories come standard, including an aluminum engine guard, high windscreen, and hand protectors. Whether you’re carving up twisties or tackling the great outdoors, the BMW G650GS Serto is the ultimate sporting single-cylinder enduro, and it’s ready to take on whatever the road throws its way.
