Mis up to date,
small evolution, adaptation to the temptations of the market? The F 850 GS
Adventure sees this time more as the time to enrich their equipment. All his
siblings are entitled to it, with what to appreciate the daily.
ABS Pro
(active in bends) and DTC traction control are now standard. The
motorcycle also gains a USB socket on the dashboard, LED indicators, and the screen
Color TFT with connectivity functions. No changes for the twin
parallel, if not that it is ready for Euro5.
Option side,
it is also moving. Extra low seat, revised lowered suspension … but it is
especially on the Pro Driving Modes side that we can see the retouching. the
Dynamic mode is recalibrated, you can install a preset button on the
right handlebars for the 4 Modes, deactivation of ABS now goes through
Enduro and Enduro Pro Modes and the pack comes with brake control
motor. A 40 years edition allows you to stand out while celebrating 4 decades of GS.
Thus embellished, the BM supports its ‘mid-range’ positioning and keeps its passport to give foot to the Allan Quatermain asleep in us.
Arrived in the fall of 2017 to replace the eponymous 800, the F 850 GS awaited its ‘Adventure’ version like any good self-respecting Bavarian backpacker. Little sister of the R 1250 GS from whom she stole her backpacker guide and her desire for elsewhere, the F 850 GS is taking the powder with the arrival in the catalog of this derivative ‘Adventure’.
Differentiated fairing more protective and more masculine (as the Bavarian firm would like to point out), higher screen, wider and adjustable in two positions, hand guards and crankcase protector. This makes it possible to immediately differentiate this upgraded version of the mid-size trail while promising better protection against the elements. When we detail more carefully, we also note that the ergonomics have been slightly optimized with footrests that widen Enduro style and a brake pedal and a speed selector which are here adjustable. A longer luggage rack made of stainless steel also differentiates this “Adventur” ière “more suitable for accommodating zulupack and down with a large bungee cord. Thus appeared, the F850 GS Adventure and its passenger, linked by a double reinforced handlebar. raised by 15 mm, will be able to try to push back the horizon with more ambition … and less stiffness.
But what would a true adventurer be without a propensity to swallow the kilometers as one swallows up her budget at the local station … In this game, the Adventure progresses enormously and sees its tank go from 15 to 23 liters which allows it to travel a minimum of 550 kilometers. Either Paris-Dusseldorf without stopping at the pump. Or Johannesburg-Durban for the more exotic among us !
Of course, wrapped in its equipment, this F 850 GS is overweight and climbs to 248 kg fully loaded, 15 kg more than the standard version..
But back to the heart of the machine, housed in a new tubular steel trellis frame (the old one was made of aluminum) more rigid and more robust. Compared to the F800GS Adventure to which it succeeds, this 850 has a completely revised engine ready for multiple occasions. BMW has taken a serious look at its parallel twin to offer more. With more space in the cylinders, it will be able to set the tone. The displacement rises to 853 cm3, ie 55 more. Power reaches 95 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and torque of 9.4 mkg at 6,250 rpm. That’s 10 hp and almost 1 mkg more than on the previous F 800 GS Adventure. All the modifications result in a reversal of space for certain peripherals. Thus, the secondary transmission chain passes to the left and the muffler migrates to the right. BM had done the same type of operation when its 1200 GS adopted the liquid-cooled boxer. Why ? Because with a pot to the right of the grinding wheel, you avoid burning yourself when you operate the grinding wheel on the left side; side we use the most.
Like the F 850 GS, the Adventure is fueled with electronics, as standard or as an option. Let’s start with the original endowment, which includes two Riding Modes (Rain and Road), DTC, ABS Pro, and a full modern dashboard – This high-tech 6.5-inch screen offers a good display. more modern and can manage music, phone and machine vital parameters. But as we are at BMW, a passage through the appetizers box can quickly tempt you. It is thus possible to equip the F 850 GS Adventure with the ESA electronically adjustable suspension, a shifter, Pro Riding Modes – which adds Enduro, Enduro Pro and Dynamic -, the signature headlight LED, Dynamic brake light, emergency call, Keyless Ride keyless start system. As usual, BMW offers different packs to access different options depending on the intended uses (Comfort, Touring, Dynamic)
This machine will of course be bridle in A2, which is an asset for the one who will be the springboard for a beginner aiming to run for the queen 1250 GS when his experience (and his portfolio) will have been expanded. But come to think of it, in its adventurous version, this mid-range trail will ultimately have almost nothing to envy of its superstar sister, if not the famous final transmission by cardan, a formidable balance and the breath of the big 1250.
