BMW F 850GS Adventure (2021)

The BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a masterclass in versatility, combining the perfect blend of on-road refinement and off-road capability. Its powerful 853cc liquid-cooled engine is a joy to ride, delivering impressive power and torque with its distinctive two-cylinder heartbeat.

A constant mesh six-speed gearbox integrated into the crankcase ensures seamless shifting, while a robust suspension system featuring a central WAD spring strut and adjustable rebound damping provides rock-solid stability on all terrain.

Whether you’re carving up twisties or tackling rough trails, the F 850 GS Adventure’s impressive ground clearance and generous wheel travel give you the confidence to push your riding limits.

At its core, the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a true adventure bike that’s equally at home on long highway stretches as it is navigating dirt roads and rugged terrain. And with ABS Pro and DTC now standard, you can ride with even greater peace of mind.
