BMW Motorrad Making Way To Launch F450 GS In January 2026

BMW Motorrad is set to revolutionize the Indian adventure motorcycle segment with the launch of the highly anticipated F450 GS in January 2026.

Deliveries are expected to commence by late February 2026, marking a significant moment for BMW Motorrad’s strategic expansion in India. This upcoming adventure bike from BMW will give tough competition to rivals such as the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the KTM 390 Adventure. The bike’s early booking has started at the authorized dealership. Let’s check out what possible specs and features this bike offers for the Indian customers.

Adventurous Design

The BMW F450 GS offers rugged aesthetics with a practical design. The bike weighs about 178 kg (wet). It features a 14-liter fuel tank that balances capacity with agility. Seat height stands at 845 mm, making it accessible to a broad range of riders without compromising comfort on long rides. Moreover, the wheelbase is 1465 mm, offering stability at high speeds and when tackling uneven surfaces.

Under the trellis frame, the F450 GS will be powered by a 420 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces about 48 HP and 43 Nm of peak torque.
