The new F 800 GS Adventure holds a world first in store for the mid-size

segment with the Enduro riding mode that is available as an option in

conjunction with ASC. When changing from roads to rougher terrain, a

handlebar control enables the rider to simply switch to Enduro mode and

thereby activate an ASC and ABS setting that has been specially tuned for

off-road riding. In this mode, the ASC and ABS control logic is modified to

delay intervention. The slip threshold is increased, resulting in improved

acceleration and stopping power on loose surfaces at the same time as

making the riding experience even more dynamic and active. The Enduro

mode can only be ordered in conjunction with the optional extra ASC in the

Enduro package, although ASC continues to be available on its own, too.

New styling and extended equipment features for superior

globetrotting prowess.

The new F 800 GS Adventure really underlines its credentials as an enduro

bike that is eminently suited to world travel and provides a safe and

dependable means of exploring even the remotest regions of the planet with a

host of specialised equipment features.

The mere appearance of the new F 800 GS Adventure clearly signals what its

name promises. It takes its cue from the large boxer GS Adventure models by

adopting the same authentic, markedly masculine and robust look. The

characteristic GS flyline continues to stand out clearly from all angles.

When it comes to ergonomics and comfort, the new F 800 GS Adventure

further demonstrates its globetrotting capabilities with a seat that is more

comfortable and slightly higher than on the F 800 GS, making longer day

stints even easier to cover. A lower seat can be selected as a special

accessory. Meanwhile, an enlarged windscreen provides even better

protection from the elements, while sturdy hand protectors and adjustable

brake and clutch levers are also available.

Suitability for off-road use is further enhanced by widened enduro footrests

with vibration-damping rubber tops that can be removed for riding in terrain.

The adjustable rest for the foot brake lever allows for optimum operation of

the rear-wheel brake when the rider is in a standing position off road.
