Powerful Performance for Any Terrain
The BMW F850 GS is engineered to deliver top-tier performance in any riding condition. With its 853cc parallel-twin engine, this bike produces an impressive 95 HP at 8,250 rpm and 92 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm. This power makes it an excellent choice for both long-distance touring and off-road adventures. Whether you’re cruising along highways or tackling dirt tracks, the F850 GS provides all the strength you need.
In addition to its robust engine, the bike features a six-speed gearbox that allows for seamless gear shifts, giving you greater control on tricky terrain. Its 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, combined with long-travel suspension, make the bike highly capable of handling rough roads and uneven surfaces. The result is a smooth, comfortable ride no matter the terrain.
Agile Handling and Comfort
One of the key features of the BMW F850 GS is its agility. Thanks to its well-balanced design and dynamic chassis, the bike offers excellent manoeuvrability, making it ideal for navigating both urban traffic and challenging off-road paths. Its telescopic front forks and preload-adjustable rear suspension provide a stable and responsive ride, allowing you to tackle sharp turns and rough patches with confidence.
Comfort is also a top priority with this bike. The BMW F850 GS is equipped with an adjustable seat height ranging from 815mm to 875mm, catering to riders of various sizes.

Advanced Technology for a Safe and Enjoyable Ride
In addition to its physical prowess, the BMW F850 GS is loaded with advanced technology to enhance your riding experience. It comes with multiple riding modes, including Rain, Road, and Dynamic. These modes adjust throttle response, ABS, and traction control to suit various riding conditions, ensuring optimal performance and safety whether you’re riding in wet weather or on loose gravel.
The bike’s 6.5-inch TFT display keeps you connected with essential information like speed, trip details, and navigation, all easily visible even in bright sunlight. With the built-in BMW Motorrad Connectivity system, you can connect your smartphone via Bluetooth to access calls, messages, and music directly from the display. This integration allows you to stay connected without taking your eyes off the road.
Safety is always a priority, and the BMW F850 GS doesn’t disappoint. It features switchable ABS and dynamic traction control, giving you the ability to maintain stability in difficult conditions.
