This calendar year, BMW Motorrad USA unveils its upgraded middleweight-plus adventure motorcycle, the F 900 GS Trophy Edition ($18,390 in its tested configuration). Read the Everything You Need to Know - 2024 BMW F 900 GS Trophy Edition article to learn about this bike’s primary features and benefits. Also check out our report on the base model, detailed in the 2024 BMW F 900 GS Adventure Preview.
This new and improved edition boasts several enhancements compared to its predecessor, as covered during the 2020 BMW F 850 GS Adventure MC Commute Review. The TL;DR/W is: The F 900 GS a more agile and formidable choice for adventurous riders tackling both roads and trails off the beaten path. Here are the top five things we like about riding BMW’s F 900 GS Trophy Edition in the dirt:
- The 21-inch front wheel with a high-quality Showa inverted fork with damping adjustment and a superslick coating on the fork for less stiction.
- This 895cc parallel twin. This engine is nice and compact and it has really favorable torque. That makes it really easy to ride in the slick stuff.
- While BMW loves its 17-inch rear wheels, this shock now boasts compression damping adjustment, both on the high-speed and low-speed circuit. And you can adjust the preload, compression damping, and rebound damping without tools via handy knobs.
- The ergonomics on this motorcycle are really favorable for off-road riding. We love those meaty serrated footpegs, that adjustable rear brake pedal, and that this bike’s really easy to squeeze between your legs like a real dirt bike.
- If you’re looking for something lean and mean from BMW Motorrad, this $18,000
F900 GS Trophy Edition fits the bill.
We’ll see you in the next episode.
