If the F 850
GS sees both chants and epics in front of its spoked rims, she sees
also the competition crunching pieces of the way. The KTM 790 Adventure peddles
the taste of rallying while the 900 Tiger has put in a big strike force
with its different versions.
The BMW does not intend to stop there, draws memories to attract a
some crowd (with the 40 years edition) and gaining equipment.
You want
immediately put the pilot in your pocket? Flatter the eye as soon as it
is in the saddle. The F 850 GS adopts the 5-inch color TFT counter, with
its graphics, its high-tech interface
and connectivity functions. A bonus USB socket, an adjustment system
for the windshield, LED indicators, and the best in the piloting aids
continue to evolve benefits. Then it’s in the systems
electronic that it happens.
Yesterday with ABS
and ASC traction control, the F 850 GS evo ’replaces them with a reactive ABS Pro in
curve and more efficient DTC traction control. Then comes the clan of
options where BMW has added dynamic engine brake control and control
DBC brake in the Pro Riding Modes. The ‘Dynamic’ Mode has been
reworked while a Mode preset system may be affected
on a control on the right handlebar.
Is the saddle too high? No problem, there’s a new one, extra low,
in the catalog, which may be accompanied by a modified lowered suspension.
The engine does
undergoes few retouching; only to be ready to digest the norm
Euro5. It ensures primary efficiency without encroaching on the flower beds of the big sister. The latter fiercely defends its bastion.
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 1250 GS. But in the shadow of this icon of the road and the path, this F 850, intends to claim 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, ie 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 Driving Modes (Rain and Road), DTC, ABS Pro, 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, a shifter, Pro Riding Modes – which adds Enduro, Enduro Pro and Dynamic -, the signature LED headlight. , emergency call and Keyless Ride keyless start system.
The design of the 850 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 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.
