Trail is almost a philosophy at BMW, it is essential for the Bavarian manufacturer to maintain the range at a high level. Of course, everyone immediately thinks of the R 1200 GS. But in the shadow of this road and path icon, another GS, the F 850, has every intention of claiming its share of the ground.. And since a certain Honda Africa Twin has seriously established itself in the sector, it was time for the ex-800 to raise the level of service..
And it starts with 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, i.e. 55 more. It takes place in the F 750 GS as well as in the 850, but obviously the performance is not at all the same. Here, the power reaches 95 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and a 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. Like the 750, this machine can be clamped in A2.
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. Dixit, with a pot to the right of the grindstone, it avoids burning when it is maneuvered (raised) on the left side; side we use the most.
The F 850 GS is refueled electronically, as standard or as an option. Let’s start with the original equipment, which includes two Riding Modes (Rain and Road), ASC traction control, ABS, Dynamic brake light (standard since 2019), and a revamped dashboard..
Appetizers can quickly tempt you. It is thus possible to equip the F 850 GS with the ESA electronically adjustable suspension, DTC traction control, a shifter, Pro Riding Modes – which adds Enduro, Enduro Pro and Dynamic – , Active Curved ABS Pro, Signature LED Headlight, Emergency Call, Keyless Ride Keyless Start System, and the all-new 6.5-inch color TFT instrument panel. This high-tech display offers a much more modern display and allows you to manage music, phone and machine vital parameters.
The new design of the GS, which she fully shares with her little sister, demonstrates a more assertive will. Below too, we assert ourselves. The GS abandons its tubular trellis to afford a new, more rigid steel structure. The tank changes position, and finds a conventional location between the pilot and the driving position; it was installed under the saddle on the F 800 GS. This new GS has a wiser chassis geometry than the one it replaces. Side suspensions, there is an inverted fork of 43 mm as well as a mono-shock absorber endowed with strong travel of suspensions. With 204 mm at the front and 219 mm at the rear, this bike clearly announces its desires for off-road. The spoked rims go in the same direction, especially the 21-inch front wheel fitted with a narrow 90/90 front tire.
The seat height has dropped by 20mm, to a peak of 860mm. On the weight side, however, the F 850 GS has eaten a large piece of cheese and takes 12 kilos on the scale.
Keen to take control of the mid-size trail segment with off-road capabilities, the BMW F 850 GS is improving in many ways. It relies both on technology and on its full potential to frolic on rough terrain to calm the competition. Not easy because the level has risen well in recent years. But there is the blue and white crest on the fairing.
