The BMW F 450 GS is rolling out with a fresh 450 cc parallel-twin powerplant, built as a team effort between BMW and TVS Motor Company.
BMW Motorrad is gearing up to unveil its latest mid-size adventure machine, the F 450 GS, at the EICMA expo in Milan. This bike becomes the baby of the GS lineup, designed to attract guys who want a lighter, easier-to-handle tourer that still delivers BMWโs famous all-day riding ease and rock-solid construction.
Before the big reveal hits soon, here are five standout details that position this ride as a top excitement generator for the year, and itโs slated to hit Indian roads in 2026:
1. World Premiere Locked for EICMA 2025
BMW dropped a teaser on their social feeds confirming the ready-to-ride F 450 GS will bow globally at the early November EICMA event. The short video flashes the fuel tank area, fresh GS badges, and a sleeker overall shape that screams quicker handling. This machine has been pounded through real-world tests in various countries.
2. India Got the First Live Peek as a Prototype
Bike fans in India scored an early eyeball when BMW rolled out the F 450 GS prototype at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 months ago. That show bike signaled BMWโs push to dominate the 400 to 500 cc adventure segment. Fresh spy photos of mules prove the street version keeps the prototypeโs look and posture, including the classic front beak and uneven headlight setup that screams GS heritage.
3. Brand-New Twin Engine Crafted Alongside TVS
Powering the F 450 GS is a cutting-edge 450 cc parallel-twin mill, engineered in partnership with TVS Motor Company. This water-cooled, double-overhead-cam beast should crank out roughly 48 horsepower, putting it at the head of the pack in its class. BMW aims for buttery-smooth power delivery and a wide spread of grunt, perfect for dirt paths or highway marathons. Rumors swirl about an optional quick-shift auto gearbox joining the standard six-speed stick.
4. Fresh Chassis and Road-Trip Ready Suspension
The bike rides on a completely new light-duty trellis chassis. Up front, you get inverted forks, with a single shock out backโboth likely tunable all the way. Keep in mind, the F 450 GS isnโt built for extreme dirt pounding thanks to its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cast wheels.

5. Packed with High-End Tech and Gear
True to GS tradition, the F 450 GS loads up on smart rider aids and top-shelf components. Expect all-LED lights, a 6.5-inch color TFT screen with phone pairing, various power modes, ABS that works in turns, and grip control. Every bit of this tech showed up on the prototype and should carry over straight to the production model.
Look for the BMW F 450 GS to land in Indian dealerships around 2026, carrying a ballpark price of Rs. 5.5 lakh to 6 lakh before taxes. Once here, itโll square off against the Honda NX500, the soon-coming Kawasaki KLE500, Brixton Storr 500, CFMoto 450 MT, and others in the fight.
