Small bike, great potential: the BMW F 800 GS in Touratech trim
Adventure Touring
Aluminium pannier systems and soft luggage, protectors, ergonomic parts and lots of practical accessories: Touratech turns the BMW F 800 GS (2024 onwards) into a fully equipped adventure tourer with high-quality accessories – compact, versatile and ready for any adventure.
Understatement – hardly any other term fits the BMW F 800 GS better. While its big sisters, the F 900 GS and F 900 GS Adventure, score points with their bold off-road look, the 800 is more discreet. But if you take the time to look more closely, you will discover a bike with surprising substance – and even more potential.
While its cultivated twin delivers easily usable power with 87 hp and a strong 91 Newton metres of torque, its smaller cast wheels provide a noticeable increase in agility compared to the 21-inch faction. And with a moderate seat height of 81.5 centimetres, the F 800 GS remains easy to handle even for shorter riders. It starts at an attractive price of 10.650 Euro – and if you invest some of the difference between this and the F 900 GS in high-quality accessories, you get a top-of-the-range adventure tourer with genuine premium character.
Luggage options for every need
Touratech offers a versatile range of accessories for the F 800 GS, tailored to the needs of touring riders. When it comes to luggage, there are four aluminium pannier families to choose from – each in different sizes and finishes. All systems are mounted on a stainless steel rack (18 x 2 mm) specially developed for this model, available in either electropolished or black coated finishes. The setup is complemented by a matching top case rack and a robust luggage rack. Tank bags in several variants round off the luggage concept.
360-degree protection
To ensure that the F 800 GS is well protected on tours and in gentle off-road terrain, Touratech offers a comprehensive range of protectors: from the extremely sturdy ‘Expedition’ engine guard and solid stainless steel crash bars to the clever headlight protector with quick-release fastener – available in either Makrolon or stainless steel.
Focus on comfort and ergonomics
The Touratech comfort seat ensures seating comfort on long distances – available in original height as well as in higher or lower versions. The aerodynamically optimised Touratech windscreen, available in clear or tinted versions, noticeably improves wind protection. Handlebar risers, individually adjustable levers and robust long-distance footrests (available in two heights) allow perfect adjustment to your height and individual riding style – ideal for many hours in the saddle.
Upgrade with the wow effect
With Touratech's well-designed accessories, the BMW F 800 GS becomes a true adventure tourer – agile, suitable for everyday use and with a look that is sure to turn heads. And all this with a price-performance ratio that will impress more than just connoisseurs. So much for understatement.
