BMW F 450 GS uses a newly developed 420 cc parallel-twin motor producing 48 hp maximum power and 43 Nm of peak torque
BMW Motorrad appears to be preparing to bring the F 450 GS to India next month as it could be showcased at the India Bike Week in Goa, scheduled between December 19 and 20. Positioned below the F 850 GS globally, it was first shown at EICMA and is already available in several global markets.
The production BMW F 450 GS stays gets a tall stance, beak-like front end and X-shaped LED headlamp. It looks every inch a GS – just scaled down for wider usability. At its heart is a newly developed 420 cc parallel-twin motor featuring a 135-degree crankpin offset. It gives the engine a more engaging character while keeping vibrations well controlled through a balance shaft according to the brand.
The powertrain produces 48 hp and 43 Nm and is paired with a six-speed transmission with a slipper/assist clutch as standard. Fuel efficiency is rated at around 3.8 litres per 100 km with a claimed range comfortably crossing the 350 km mark in the international markets. One of the key features is BMW’s semi-automatic clutch setup which reduces the need for manual clutch use during starts, traffic riding and off-road manoeuvres.

It works alongside the Shift Assistant Pro – allowing smooth clutch-less gear changes. While the top GS Trophy variant gets this system as standard, it will be optional on the lower trims. The adv is built around a new tubular steel frame and weighs just 178 kg in ready-to-ride condition. Suspension duties are handled by KYB components with 43 mm upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear.
Higher variants receive adjustable sport suspension. Braking is handled by Brembo at the front and ByBre at the rear – supported by cornering ABS, traction control, engine brake control and Dynamic Brake Control. BMW is offering the F 450 GS in four variants: Basic, Exclusive, Sport and GS Trophy. Each step up adds more adventure-focused hardware like off-road footrests, aluminium engine guards, hand guards, sport suspension and exclusive colour schemes such as Racing Red and Racing Blue Metallic.

The BMW F 450 GS also gains a 6.5-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation support, ride data and smartphone integration. Heated grips and a USB-C charging port are standard. If BMW decides to price it aggressively, we can expect it to carry a starting tag of around Rs. 4.70 lakh (ex-showroom).
