New BMW G450 X from £6,102 OTR

The new G 450 X Sport Enduro is a unique motorcycle that completely redefines enduro riding. That’s because it’s been designed from the ground up to deliver the sort of traction dreams are made of, with a brand new single-cylinder engine and a revolutionary patented swing-arm design. After extensive testing, the G 450 X is ready, willing and able to take on the toughest competition around.

The G 450 X incorporates a swing-arm pivot point that shares it’s axle line with the drive sprocket. This ensures that the length of the drive – and as a result, the efficiency of the transmission – is not affected by the compression and rebound of the suspension. It also saves space, meaning there is room for a swing-arm that is significantly longer than on other bikes with a comparable wheelbase, for maximum ground contact and traction on every surface. The design also allows the engine to be placed further back, which means the vehicle’s mass is now more concentrated over it’s centre of gravity.

To be truly unstoppable, you need outstanding grip, which means maximum ground contact at all speeds and on all surfaces. The frame on the G 450 X features a fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 300 millimetres of travel, which effortlessly handles even the bumpiest terrain. At the rear is a fully adjustable Ohlines monoshock suspension system, also fully adjustable and with 320 millimetres of travel. All this sophisticated engineering has been introduced with one aim and one aim only – making you and your machine unstoppable.
