found grip on gravel, mud
and everything in between. In
enduro terms, 392 pounds isn't
light, but for a road-going ad-
venture bike, it's comparatively
weightless and non-fatiguing
to ride. I opted for the optional
Enduro Plus riding mode, which
disengages most of the rider
aids, allowing the rear tire to
spin and the rear brake to lock
up for fun.

RIDE REVIEW I 2027 BMW F 450 GS
(Below left) The optional Sport
suspension adds compression and
rebound adjustment to the forks, although
the springs still manage to bottom out
when landing off small jumps. (Below
right) Heated grips (top of switchblock)
are standard fitment, as are cornering
ABS and traction control.
As you can see, the weather wasn't kind to
Chad during his all-too-brief road ride.
