TECHNOLOGY | Parts for BMW F 900 GS – Sport-Touring

Significantly lighter than the predecessor model, with a noticeable increase in performance and a successful geometry, the BMW F 900 GS offers an excellent basis for touring and off-road use. Touratech has the perfect accessories for both areas of use.

In times when motorbikes are getting heavier and heavier with each new model, the BMW F 900 GS is a notable exception. The Munich-based company has saved a whopping 14 kilograms on the new edition of its mid-range adventure bike. The 900 is now significantly slimmer not only in terms of pure weight but also in riding feel. Economical bodywork, a narrower tank for better knee clearance and optimised ergonomics ensure an extra portion of riding fun, and not just off-road. It helps, of course, that the upgraded two-cylinder engine now delivers a whopping 105 hp. In short: The BMW F 900 GS is excellently equipped for a wide range of applications. The only thing missing is the right accessories.

HIGH-END SUSPENSION FOR OFF-ROAD AND ROAD USE

When it comes to off-road riding, where the F 900 GS with its 21-inch front wheel feels particularly at home, the Touratech Suspension shock absorber Extreme 2 ensures outstanding performance. Why? Because it can not only be very finely adjusted in rebound and compression over a huge range, but it also has plenty of reserves in extreme situations thanks to the revised PDS. The Cartridge Kit Extreme is also sensitive in its response and tough in its handling, which transforms the plain front wheel guide into a fully adjustable sport enduro fork.

Customisable: Fully adjustable Cartridge Kit Extreme for the fork

If you just want to get a taste of the world of suspension tuning, the progressive Touratech Suspension replacement springs for fork and shock absorber are an effective upgrade for little money.

PROTECTORS FOR ALL RELEVANT PARTS

When it gets down to business off-road, the perfect protector equipment is of course a must. The range extends from headlight and radiator protection, high-strength stainless steel crash bars for the engine and fairing to the indestructible Expedition engine guard. And it's not just off-roaders who appreciate solid vehicle protection. Protectors also prevent expensive damage when touring, which can occur even in the event of a harmless crash.

Indestructible: Robust stainless steel engine guard

SHORT TRIP OR WORLD TOUR: THE PERFECT LUGGAGE SOLUTION

Of course, the BMW F 900 GS is also ideal for touring. Even large items of luggage can be stowed in the ZEGA Evo X pannier system for optimum protection. The ultra-robust pannier rack made of 18x2 stainless steel tubing is designed in such a way that it elegantly omits the exhaust on the right-hand side of the vehicle. In combination with a suitably shaped case, this results in a super-slim and, above all, symmetrical rear section. Additional equipment can be stowed in the ZEGA top case or the waterproof Midi EXTREME Edition tank bag.

Stable: Extra-wide footrests for off-road and long-distance travelling

WELL THOUGHT-OUT PARTS FOR A CUSTOMISED DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The Touratech developers have also thought about customising the ergonomics. Anyone who likes to ride off-road in a standing position or simply appreciates a particularly relaxed riding position will be delighted with the handlebar riser, which is available in two heights. The extra-wide long-distance footrests ensure a secure footing off-road. With the comfort seat benches and large windshields, the tinkerers have even more exciting products in the pipeline.
