BMW F800GS Adventure (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F800GS Adventure, an off-road machine that debuted in 2013 and continued production until 2018. The bike was based on the F800GS and was manufactured at BMW's plant in Spandau, Berlin.

The BMW F800GS Adventure was equipped with features that could handle the most challenging off-road tracks but also handle busy city traffic and highway cruising. In addition, the machine came equipped with ABS as standard.

In the visual department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a front mudguard, a front fairing with an extended beak, a taller windscreen than the standard GS, a one-piece dual seat, a small luggage rack, a two-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted high on the left side, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

The bike was built on a tubular steel frame with a 43 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front with 230 mm wheel travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 215 mm wheel travel, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike packed two 300 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 265 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power enhanced by ABS.

The 2015 BMW F800GS Adventure had installed a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 85 hp at 7,500 rpm and 83 Nm (61 lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.
