Your Everyday GS: The All-New BMW F 450 GS

Date posted on August 15, 2026

Proven GS technology and iconic design meet versatility with the newest member of the GS family. With the growing segment of mid-displacement, lightweight motorcycles, the local market now has a contender in the form of BMW’s legendary nameplate. Today, SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp., the official importer and distributor of BMW Motorrad in the Philippines is excited to present the eagerly anticipated all-new BMW F 450 GS. Initially available in two variants, “Exclusive” (Cosmic Black) and “Sport” (Racing Red), the F 450 GS provides riding fun and confidence from the moment you start it up. It combines the classic GS spirit with a modern, accessible, and simultaneously powerful approach. It is a versatile all-rounder that combines everyday usability, sporty dynamic performance, touring comfort, and off-road capabilities.

Completely redesigned, smooth-running and characterful two-cylinder in-line engine with 135-degree crankpin offset. At the heart of the new BMW F 450 GS is a completely newly developed two-cylinder in-line engine with fuel injection and a stainless-steel exhaust system on the right-hand side. The new F 450 GS impresses with its powerful performance and pulling power, delivering a power output of 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm.

Thanks to the use of high-tech materials and optimized internal friction, these performance values are achieved with exactly 420 cm³. It not only meets the strict EU5+ requirements but is also particularly economical, consuming just 3.8 liters per 100 km. A range of over 350 km can be achieved in conjunction with the 14-liter tank.

Unique on the motorcycle market, the engine features a crankshaft with crankpins offset by 135 degrees and, in conjunction with a single balance shaft ensures a characterful, emotional ride while simultaneously reducing unwanted vibrations to an exceptionally low level.

Optimal ergonomics and equipment for comfortable, playful, and agile motorcycling on and off-road. A sophisticated ergonomic triangle and a high, close-to-the-body handlebar made of tapered aluminum tubing ensure an ideal riding position in all conditions. The body and the 14-liter fuel tank below it are designed for optimal support and good knee contact, both when seated and while standing off-road.
The all-new BMW F 450 GS comes with a two-part seat (845 mm) as standard. The low Black rider’s seat (830 mm) and the high Rallye seat in Black/White/Red (865 mm), available as part of the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, can be adapted to individual requirements. The all-new BMW F 450 GS comes standard with wide enduro footrests, whose serrated profile makes it suitable for off-road use. A very practical feature is the easy height adjustment of the foot brake lever by 20 mm in two positions to suit individual needs for on- and off-road riding. The gearshift lever is also height-adjustable.

Newly developed chassis with tubular steel frame. The all-new BMW F 450 GS also features a completely new chassis concept. Playful handling, optimum accessibility, high riding precision and riding stability were the developers’ top priorities. The specially developed lattice-tube frame of the BMW F 450 GS consists of welded steel tubes and forged parts. The frame integrates the two-cylinder in-line engine as a supporting element and is designed to be lightweight yet robust.

The front wheel is guided via KYB upside-down telescopic forks, while the rear wheel is guided via an aluminum hollow cast double armed swinging arm with a KYB central spring strut featuring progressive damping.

Front wheel control is provided by a torsionally rigid KYB upside-down telescopic fork with a 43 mm inner tube diameter. The Sport variant features the “sports suspension” and is adjustable for rebound and compression damping. Rear wheel control is provided by a closed, and therefore extremely torsionally rigid, yet lightweight, hollow-cast aluminum double-sided swing arm, coupled with a directly connected KYB central spring strut (adjustable spring preload and rebound damping) with travel-dependent damping derived from rally racing, a unique feature in this segment.
Wheels and tires tailored to the typical BMW GS applications. The new BMW F 450 GS features lightweight yet robust cast aluminum wheels. It is fitted with tubeless tires for road and off-road use, sized 100/90-19 at the front and 130/80-17 at the rear. Additionally, the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories range offers cross-spoke wheels.

A powerful braking system combined with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro ensures safe braking even when leaning. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Dynamic Brake Light are additional safety features. The front wheel of the new BMW F 450 GS features a floating single-disc brake with a Brembo 4-piston fixed caliper and a 310 mm brake disc diameter for superior, stable deceleration. A single disc brake with 1-piston floating caliper and 240 mm diameter is used on the rear wheel.
The new BMW F 450 GS already comes standard with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro. ABS Pro also offers increased safety when braking in curves by enabling ABS-assisted braking while leaning. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) offers increased safety when braking, even in difficult situations, by preventing unintentional throttle application. The dynamic brake light effectively alerts following vehicles to the braking motorcycle ahead.

Higher levels of standard equipment in a highly competitive segment. A large 6.5-inch TFT display is also standard on the new BMW F 450 GS. The variety of information, display quality, and, last but not least, user-friendliness are premium. It comes standard with screen displays tailored to the BMW GS world: the Pure Ride Screen and the Sport Screen with detailed information on DTC, braking force, and lean angle. Taking phone calls, listening to music, and navigation while riding is also possible. All of this controlled with the same operations as our bigger GS models, with the same switchgear of that premium level.

Aside from the already mentioned ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Dynamic Brake Light, the all-new BMW F 450 GS is offered with Shift Assistant Pro in all variants. The same goes for “Rain,” “Road,” “Enduro”, and “Enduro Pro” riding modes, as well as Dynamic Traction Control, and MSR (engine drag control). The additional “Enduro Pro” mode is designed for off-road use and allows the ABS on the rear wheel to be deactivated.

The new BMW F 450 GS features an LED headlight with an iconic “X” daytime riding light signature as standard. The turn indicator and control lamps of the F 450 GS also use LED technology.
