BMW F 450 GS Now Offered with SW-MOTECH Accessories

Owners of the highly anticipated BMW F 450 GS can now enhance their adventure motorcycles with a comprehensive line of aftermarket accessories from renowned brand SW-MOTECH. The new catalogue covers everything a rider needs for touring, from versatile luggage solutions and robust crash protection to ergonomic upgrades for long days in the saddle.

Comprehensive Luggage Solutions for Every Journey

SW-MOTECH brings a wide array of versatile luggage options designed specifically for the BMW F 450 GS, catering to both quick day trips and extended touring.

Innovative Tank Bags

At the front of the motorcycle, SW-MOTECH introduces its PRO tank ring. This clever system features a quick-lock arrangement, completely eliminating the need for cumbersome straps around the fuel tank. The PRO tank ring is compatible with multiple bags from the PRO range, starting from the compact PRO Edge to the spacious PRO GS, which offers up to 20 litres of capacity.

Flexible Side and Rear Luggage

For the rear of the bike, riders have numerous configurations based on their factory equipment:

• V-LOC Carrier System: This side-luggage system uses a magnetic guide to easily attach and secure soft bags from the Legend Gear and WP lines. SW-MOTECH provides two versions: one for bikes with the original BMW rear carrier and one for those without.
• ADVENTURE-RACK: Designed for bikes with the original BMW rack, this larger rack supports the cavernous DUSC XL top case, boasting 55 litres of storage.
• STREET-RACK: A smaller rear carrier designed to hold bags from the PRO and Drybag ranges, ideal for the 8 to 14-litre PRO Roadpack or the massive 65-litre PRO Travelbag.

1. Assess Your Capacity Needs:

Determine if you need luggage for daily commuting (tank bags) or extended touring (top cases and side bags).

2. Check Factory Equipment:

Verify if your BMW F 450 GS came with the factory-fitted original rear rack, as this dictates which SW-MOTECH carriers will fit.

3. Select Carrier System:

Choose between the ADVENTURE-RACK for maximum capacity or the STREET-RACK for modular soft luggage options.

Vital Protection for Off-Road Adventures

The BMW F 450 GS is built for off-road excursions, making crash protection essential. SW-MOTECH offers a robust suite of protective components to safeguard critical areas of the motorcycle.

• Axle Sliders: Front axle sliders and a slider for the left side of the rear axle mitigate damage to the suspension during low-speed falls or slides.
• Engine Guards: An engine guard is available in two finishes: stealthy black powder-coated or rugged brushed silver.
• Crash Bars: A black tubular-steel crash bar provides essential protection for the engine casings and bodywork.
• Radiator Guard: Featuring the distinctive SW-MOTECH bull logo, this guard protects the vulnerable radiator from flying stones and debris.

Ergonomic Upgrades for Enhanced Control

Beyond luggage and protection, the catalogue focuses on rider comfort and control, crucial factors for long days traversing challenging terrain.

Mirror extensions move the mirrors further outwards, drastically improving rearward visibility by providing a clearer view past the rider’s shoulders. The SW-MOTECH EVO footrests feature multiple position adjustments, optimizing the riding posture for both seated road riding and standing off-road maneuvers. Additionally, a machined extension for the rear brake pedal is available, ensuring easier access during technical riding.
