After a long journey—starting from the F 450 GS Concept teaser at EICMA 2024 to those eagle-eyed test sightings and the official production reveal at EICMA 2025—BMW Motorrad has officially launched the F 450 GS in India. The base variant has been interestingly priced at Rs 4.7 lakh ex-showroom. There are 3 variants and 2 colour options in total. Manufactured locally by TVS at their Hosur facility, this new adventure tourer isn’t just a new model; but a big step forward for Indian motorcycling market.
Pricing and Availability
BMW has brought the bike to India in three distinct flavours. Bookings for the F 450 GS are officially open, and you can expect deliveries to start from June 2026. Internationally there is a Sport version in Red colour that has been skipped for India. This sits above the Exclusive variant and below the GS Trophy variant and gets better features than the bottom two variants plus fully adjustable KYB suspension and a sport-tuned setup.

BMW F 450 GS which variant to choose: Base vs Exclusive vs GS Trophy
BMW F 450 GS Base
The entry-level model comes only in Cosmic Black. It packs a 6.5-inch TFT dash, all-LED lighting, heated grips, and engine drag torque control. You also get adjustable levers and a height-adjustable rear brake lever (20mm).
BMW F 450 GS Exclusive
Also available in only Cosmic Black, this version adds off-road essentials like hand guards, an engine guard, and off-road foot pegs. You also get a clear windshield, Riding Modes Pro, and the Shift Assistant Pro.
BMW F 450 GS Trophy
The flagship variant wears the iconic BMW tricolour paint scheme. It’s the hardcore choice, featuring adjustable sport suspension, an aluminium engine guard, a tinted Rallye windshield, and the Easy Ride Clutch as standard.
Looks like the best value for money BMW F 450 GS variant is the Exclusive variant.
Engine and Performance: A Proper Parallel-Twin
At the heart of the new F 450 GS is a punchy 420cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. It’s a significant step up in refinement and power from the old single-cylinder entry.
- Max Power: 48 HP at 8,750 rpm
- Max Torque: 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed gearbox
From the Exclusive variant upwards, you get BMW’s Shift Assistant Pro as standard, allowing for slick clutchless upshifts and downshifts.
Chassis, Weight, and Tech
BMW has managed to keep the bike relatively light, with a kerb weight of 178 kg. It’s underpinned by a KYB upside-down fork and a monoshock that’s adjustable for both preload and rebound.
When it comes to stopping, the bike is well-equipped with a Brembo front setup and a Bybre unit at the rear. Safety tech is top-tier, featuring:
- ABS Pro: For safe braking even when you’re leaning into a corner.
- Dynamic Brake Control (DBC): Standard across the range.
- Easy Ride Clutch: This automatic-engagement tech is standard on the GS Trophy and can be retrofitted to the other two variants.
Styling-wise, the F 450 GS is a chip off the old block, borrowing its quad-LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) from the flagship R 1300 GS. It has that unmistakable tall GS stance, and BMW is offering a mountain of accessories—from cross-spoke wheels and luggage systems to different seat heights and handlebar risers.
In the Indian market, the BMW F 450 GS price puts it directly in the crosshairs of the Honda NX500. While it carries a premium over single-cylinder rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the addition of that twin-cylinder engine and the prestigious GS badge makes it a very compelling package for the serious adventure rider.
