On November 7, 2026, BMW Motorrad officially launched the Sport variant of the BMW F 450 GS with the ex-showroom price of 5.90 lakh rupees. With this launch, a total of four variants are available for this motorcycle. The other three variants are the Base, Exclusive, and Trophy, whose ex-showroom prices are 5.34 lakh rupees, 5.55 lakh rupees, and 6.15 lakh rupees, respectively.
The newly introduced variant sits between the Exclusive and Trophy variants. Compared to the first one, this new trim is 35,000 rupees costlier but 25,000 rupees more affordable than the latter one. Launching this new variant, the brand has revealed all the specifications and features. Let’s have a closer look at it.
Available in only one colour option.
The BMW F 450 GS is available for sale in the Indian market with an exclusive red colour option. We can see dark red body panels, a black finish, white and grey graphics, and a gold-finished front suspension setup. The variant, which sits below this newly introduced model, is available with Cosmic Black and the top end with Racing Blue Metallic.
The design of this new Sport variant is similar to the other three existing trims. At the front, it boasts a long transparent windscreen and an LED headlight setup that also integrates daylight running lights. Even the silhouette remains familiar with the stepped seat and high-mounted exhaust. The rear still has slim LED taillights and indicators in the line on the mudguard.
It gets all from the top-end trim except ERC.
The BMW F 450 GS sport variant is equipped with all the features and technology that are available with the Trophy trim, except one, that is, the Easy Ride Clutch. If you are unaware of the ERC, let me tell you that it is BMW’s clutch-assistance system for motorcycles, which reduces the use of clutch levers and enhances riding comfort.
This variant has all four different riding modes: rain, road, enduro, and enduro pro. The last one is available via the BMW Motorrad’s advanced riding-mode package, Riding Modes Pro, which enhances off-roading experience by adjusting the bike’s electronics.
Between the handlebars, it has a 6.5-inch TFT display that supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth for call and SMS alerts and much more. Other features that are offered with this motorcycle are the USB Type-C charging port, heated grips, adjustable clutch, and hand and foot brake lever.
Long travel suspension setup.
The Sport variant of the BMW F 450 GS underpins a steel tubular frame, whose front and rear suspension is 43 mm upside-down forks and Monoshock, respectively; they both have 180 mm travel. The alloy wheels of 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear are available with the tubeless tyres. The size of the front tyre is 100/90-19, and the rear is 130/80-17.
A disc brake is available on both wheels. The brand says that the front one is 310 mm in diameter and has a Brembo 4-piston fixed calliper, and the rear is 240 mm with a single-piston floating calliper. ABS pro and other safety features such as DTC, DBC and EDC are available on it. Officially revealed details show its curb weight is 178 kg.
26.3 km claimed range.
With the 420cc parallel-twin petrol-powered internal combustion engine that is mated with a six-speed manual transmission, the BMW F 450 GS Sport variant cranks the same 48 hp power at 8,750 rpm and 43 Nm torque at 6,750 rpm. Its drivetrain is X-ring chain, and this motorcycle also features anti-hopping clutch technology and the Gear Shift Assistant Pro quickshifter.
BMW Motorrad officially has revealed that it can reach the maximum speed of 165 kmph, but things regarding the 0 to 100 kmph acceleration timing are still pending. Its WMTC-certified fuel efficiency is 26.3 kmpl; with the fuel tank of 14 litres, it means with the 14 litres of fuel it can run up to 368.2 km on ideal conditions, without any refuelling stops.
