Inchcape Kenya has announced the launch of the 2024 BMW F 800 GS, F 900 GS, and F 900 GSA adventure motorcycles, taking the GS legacy to new heights through innovation in engineering and technology.

 The latest additions to the legendary BMW adventure lineup offer unparalleled performance, comfort, and cutting-edge rider assistance to create the ultimate on-road and off-road experience.

Speaking during the launch event at the Bikers Family Festival in Nairobi, Inchcape Kenya Marketing and Customer Experience Manager, Anne Wanyeki, said the new models have been designed to deliver unmatched versatility and technology that appeals to both new and seasoned riders.

“The BMW GS models have been pioneers of adventure motorcycling for over 40 years, leading riders to discover the farthest corners of the world. The new 2024 adventure lineup continues this tradition by offering riders a blend of cutting-edge technology, superior performance, and a true sense of belonging within the broader BMW Motorrad family,” Wanyeki said.

Kenya is recognized as one of the markets with a highly active BMW Motorrad community, which continue to be supported and nurtured by Inchcape Kenya. Wanyeki emphasized that motorbikes offer the versatility to explore various locations in Kenya, making them an economical and fun choice for thrill-seeking adventurers.

At the heart of the new 2024 BMW Adventure lineup is a focus on dynamic performance, versatility, and advanced technology. The F 800 GS is powered by a robust 895cc parallel-twin engine producing 87 hp and 67 lb-ft of torque. With its lightweight design and off-road suspension, the F 800 GS provides agile handling for conquering trails while remaining comfortable on long highway journeys.

Stepping up in performance, the F 900 GS boasts a muscular 105 hp and 68.6 lb-ft of torque from the same 895cc engine, allowing for exhilarating acceleration both on and off the tarmac. The F 900 GS has shed over 14kgs in weight compared to its predecessor thanks to the lighter swingarm, plastic fuel tank and Akrapovič exhaust can which make for improved handling.

Sitting atop the F series lineup, the F 900 GSA takes adventure touring to another level with its long-range comfort and storage capabilities. The larger fuel tank allows riders to venture deeper into the wilderness. The F 900 GSA also incorporates the latest generation of BMW’s dynamic electronic suspension adjustment for optimized performance in any condition.

“The 2024 adventure lineup brings together the best of BMW’s 101 years of motorcycling heritage. From the responsive power trains to the advanced rider aids, these bikes deliver an unforgettable riding experience. We believe the enhanced performance and cutting-edge technology will resonate strongly with thrill-seeking adventurers especially those looking to push their off-road limits,” Wanyeki remarked.

The unveiling of the models took place at the prestigious Bikers Family Festival, an annual event organized by the Private Bikers Association, renowned for their affinity towards the superior performance of BMW bikes.

Across the new lineup, riders will benefit from a host of features including LED lighting to offer superior visibility, while the 6.5-inch TFT display will provide access to navigation, music, and vehicle data.

For the F 900 models, an optional Enduro Pro package tailors the bikes for serious off-road riding with extended suspension, an aluminum bash plate, and adjustable foot pegs. The Enduro and Enduro Pro riding modes optimize the bikes’ power delivery and ABS for loose surfaces.

Wanyeki affirmed that the company will provide comprehensive warranty and after-sales services to ensure a seamless ownership experience for all riders.

“Inchcape Kenya is dedicated to delivering an unparalleled experience to our customers at every touchpoint. By providing comprehensive aftersales support for the new Adventure models, we aim to give riders the confidence to embark on adventures knowing we have their back,” she stated.
