Before tackling the different frontiers of the road, the F 800 GS Adventure gets up to date. We will not really speak of a first evolution but rather of an adaptation to the environment, legal and technological. First, take care of Euro4. An engine update, a distinctive silencer tip, a few reflectors, 3 more kilos in the pockets, and here she is ready to take flight.
For many, the idea of getting a motorcycle ‘à la carte’ is of prime importance. Once the model and the color have been selected, the pilot can now choose the type of engine behavior with this ‘update ‘of the 800 GSA. Now equipped with a Ride-by-Wire handle, the Behème offers 2 injection maps as standard and 2 additional with the “Pro Piloting Modes” option. “Road” and “Rain”, “Enduro” and “Enduro pro”; four ways to gauge the road and paths.
In “Road” mode, the response to acceleration is optimum, the ABS is tuned for road use and the ASC (Automatic Stability Control) traction control is suitable for roads with good grip. In “Rain” mode, acceleration response is smooth, ABS is tuned for road use and ASC is configured for use on moderate grip roads..
The “Enduro” mode is characterized by a smooth response to the accel ‘and ABS and ASC adjustment laws suitable for outings on easy terrain with road tires. On the handlebars of the average GSA, more ambitious enduro riders can also activate the additional “Enduro Pro” mode, which combines a tip-top reaction to acceleration with an ABS and ASC setting suitable for off-road tires. In this mode, ABS is also deactivated on the rear wheel, which allows the experienced pilot to initiate controlled skids when braking is initiated. Precision, ABS and ASC can also be completely switched off independently of the different riding modes.
Note that the dashboard counters benefit from a little grooming and that the digital screen is enriched with an engine fault indicator. The horizon looks good for this mid-size version of the pinnacle of the road in globetrotter sauce: the F 800 GS Adventure. Taking the recipe of the 1200 GS of the same name, the Bavarian mid-range trail is in turn emancipated to offer the scent of trails and valleys. A relevant and more affordable solution, because the big GS requires a solid wallet when buying (more than 16,000 euros excluding options). With a more measured caliber, the Adventure extends the handlebars to a new handful of users.
In this variation, the F 800 GS is ready to go further, longer and more comfortably. The trellis frame is retained but reinforced in order to withstand greater stresses. In Adventure, the machine is equipped with a 24-liter tank, 8 more than the standard – the manufacturer announces 120 km of additional autonomy. The twin has to cope with an increase in weight and intends to consume 10% more. These combined elements make it possible to envisage a range of more than 400 km. Already ready to accommodate a set of suitcases thanks to the brackets supplied as standard, the Behème prepares the horizon for you.
To stand out while retaining its identity, nothing like a slight but assertive modification of the dressing. On the F 800 GS Adventure, the side panels and seat sides impose a more robust look. Protection is reinforced everywhere, with a larger screen, hand guards, a protective plate under the engine and a set of crankcase guards. Thicker, more comfortable, and much more generous for the passenger, the saddle rises by 10 mm. Perched now at 890 mm from the ground, the seat becomes quite high; especially since the lowering kit is not available. With a view to more intensive off-road use, the Adventure also stands out with its enlarged enduro-type toe clips and its reinforced brake pedal..
ABS is standard, as on all BMs. The Adventure can complete its range of assistance with ESA piloted suspension and ASC traction control with new enduro modes.
At your service to take you over hill and dale, the twin is the same as on the classic 800 GS. 85 horses escape from the 798 cm3 as well as a torque of 8.4 mkg. It is his responsibility to deal with 15 kg more to take. Because with its additional equipment, the F 800 GS goes to 232 kg by becoming Adventure.
A little sister 800 Adventure, that falls well in the range of the manufacturer. Those who wanted to embrace the concept but felt intimidated by the big 1200 will find a more accessible machine there. The size will be less impressive and the slate less salty (about 4,000 euros less). You will not have the gimbal or the Telelever, but the essentials of a machine with the sweet desires of escape.
