When it comes to discovering the remote corners of the world on 2-wheels, the BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS have been two of the most popular go-to machines. Now, since they first debuted back in 2007, these middle-class travel enduros are fully redesigned and reengineered to keep the adventures going – whether it’s highway driving or offroad terrain explorations.
Improved Handling and More Power and Torque
Powered by a 2-cylinder in-line engine making 77 hp at 7500 rpm, the 2018 F 750 GS now offers more power and torque than the outgoing model. More robust, the F 850 GS cranks out 95 hp at 8250 rpm with the 853 cc displacement it shares with the 750 GS.
Riding precision is improved for these BMW motorcycles with a new steel bridge frame in monocoque construction paired with a new telescopic fork/upside-down telescopic fork plus a double-sided aluminum swinging arm with a central spring strut offering extra sensitive response features.
Standard safety features include ABS and ASC-plus ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ modes, along with the Enduro Pro setting available on the F 850 GS.
New Sharper Design
The new design for this pair of GS explorers is now sharper with new color concepts and style variations via Rallye and Exclusive. The look is entirely different for 2018, adding a more masculine flair that sees full LED headlights, including optional LED daytime running lights, to ride into the path ahead with confidence.
Maximizing the riding experience, the instrument cluster includes a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT display with optional features including eCall. The 2018 F 750 GS and F 850 GS will be available in Spring 2018. Pricing has not yet been officially announced.
