BMW G450X (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW G450X was an Enduro motorcycle manufactured by the German maker from 2008, when it replaced the BMW G650C Challange, until 2011 when it was replaced by the Husqvarna TX449 model.

The BMW G450X was a new addition to the Enduro family in BMW's range and has been designed from the ground up, especially for Enduro purposes, being one of the most unique machines made by the House of Munich.

In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small triangle-shaped headlight, a single seat, a dual-sided swingarm, a single exhaust system with a muffler mounted high on the right side of the bike, lightweight wire-spoke wheels, and off-road tires.

The bike was built on a stainless steel frame with a 45 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front and an Ohlin's shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and excellent handling capabilities.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 260 mm disc with a dual-piston floating caliper on the front and a 220 mm brake disc with a single-piston floating caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

The 2008 BMW G450X had its soul brought to life by a 446cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 41 hp at 7,000 rpm and 43 Nm (32 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
