The new 2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure was launched in India yesterday at a price of INR 15.40 Lakh, equivalent to RM 91,318.15.

BMW had built the new F 850 GS series with more refinements in terms of styling, engine performance, comfort, chassis dynamics and electronics over its F 800 GS predecessor. The same updates are brought over to the Adventure version, called the F 850 GS Adventure or just F 850 GSA.

Setting it apart from the F 850 GS, the F 850 GS Adventure (or just GSA) carries features for more serious adventure and off-road riding. First and foremost is the “extended” fuel tank which has a 23-liter capacity compared to the 15-liter tank on the GS. Other features are crash protection bars, aluminium engine bash plate and Comfort Seat as standard. The GSA also features the new TFT screen of the GS.

The additions add 15 kg to the GS’s weight to a total of 244 kg.

The engine is the same 853cc, parallel-Twin with 270ocrankshaft, which produces 95 hp at 8,250 RPM and 92 Nm of torque at 6,250  The 270ocrank mimics the firing order of a 90oV-Twin for a better spread of power and torque throughout the rev range. It has lesser vibration that the previous 360o-crank engine in the F 800 GS, too.

The 2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure ought to arrive in Malaysia soon, so stay tuned.

  • The 2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure has been launched at EICMA 2018.

  • It has the same specs as the standard model except for its 23-litre fuel tank.

  • The F 850 GSA is geared towards off-road riding.

The 2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure made its debut at EICMA 2018 as expected.

Its introduction is hot on the heels of the F 850 GS. BMW Motorrad now have four adventure motorcycles on offer.

The F 850 GS Adventure or just “F 850 GSA,” is the German brand’s assault on the middleweight adventure segment and takes off-road capability to a higher level.

Its engine is the same 853cc, parallel-Twin which also powers its F 850 GS sibling. It produces 95 bhp and 92 NM of torque. However, the GSA’s weight made a jump to 244kg wet and ready to ride. Much of that gain results from the 23-litre fuel tank.

Most riders would probably not complain as the fuel capacity allows for a range of 550km.

The GSA has a larger touring windscreen, adjustable gear shifter and brake lever.

Electronics include ABS and stability control as standard. Standard riding modes are “Road” and “Rain.” Customers may opt for the Riding Modes Pro option which adds “Dynamic,” “Enduro,” and “Enduro Pro” besides dynamic brake light and Dynamic Traction Control. BMW Motorrad also offers electronic suspension. LED headlight is standard.

The 2019 BMW F 850 GS Adventure will be equipped with the 6.5” TFT instrument display.
