GaadiWaadi -

BMW F 450 GS will be equipped with a new 450 cc parallel-twin engine, developed jointly by BMW and TVS Motor Company

BMW Motorrad is preparing to pull the wraps off its newest middleweight adventure tourer, the F 450 GS, at the upcoming EICMA show in Milan. Serving as the smallest member of the GS family, this new motorcycle will look to lure in riders seeking a lighter, more approachable adv that still carries BMW’s trademark long-haul comfort and build quality.

Ahead of its world debut soon, here are the five key highlights that make this motorcycle one of the most anticipated launches of the year and it will arrive at Indian shores in 2026:

1. Official Debut at EICMA 2025

BMW has confirmed through a teaser on social media that the production-spec F 450 GS will make its global premiere at the EICMA show in early November. The brief clip shows off parts of the fuel tank, new GS-style graphics and a slimmer body design hinting at a more agile stance. The motorcycle has been undergoing extensive testing across multiple markets.

2. First Seen in India as a Concept

Indian enthusiasts were among the first to see this motorcycle in the flesh when BMW showcased the F 450 GS Concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 earlier this year. The prototype hinted at the brand’s plan to strengthen its presence in the 400–500 cc adventure bike category. Later spy shots of test units confirmed that the production model would retain much of the concept’s styling and stance, complete with the iconic beak and asymmetrical headlamp design synonymous with the GS badge.

3. New Twin-Cylinder Engine Developed With TVS

At the heart of the new F 450 GS lies a new 450 cc parallel-twin engine, developed jointly by BMW and TVS Motor Company. This liquid-cooled, DOHC unit is expected to produce about 48 bhp, making it among the most powerful motorcycles in its segment. BMW is targeting smooth throttle response and a broad torque band, ideal for both trail riding and long distance touring. There’s also talk of a semi-automatic transmission being offered alongside the six-speed manual unit.

4. New Frame and Touring Setup

The motorcycle will sit on an all-new lightweight trellis frame. The suspension setup will feature upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, both are expected to be fully adjustable. It must be noted that the new BMW F 450 GS won’t be a hardcore off-roader due to its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup.

5. Feature Rich

As expected from BMW’s GS lineup, the F 450 GS will come loaded with advanced electronics and premium kit. The list includes full-LED lighting, a 6.5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, multiple riding modes, cornering ABS and traction control. All these features were previewed on the concept bike and are likely to make it unchanged to the final version.

The BMW F 450 GS is likely to reach Indian showrooms sometime in 2026 with an estimated price tag of around Rs. 5.5 lakh to 6 lakh (ex-showroom). When it arrives, it will compete against the Honda NX500, upcoming Kawasaki KLE500, Brixton Storr 500, CFMoto 450 MT, etc.
