Get to the point quickly. Brake.
The highly efficient and modern disc brake system produces excellent braking performance. The optional BMW
Motorrad ABS which has been developed specifically for the F 650 GS is a unique feature in the single-cylinder
segment. It stops the wheels from locking when you brake hard and thus prevents you from falling. This feature
truly represents the highest level of safety especially on wet roads and poor road surfaces.
Disc brakes:
Front: 300 mm, double-piston floating caliper.
Rear: 240 mm, single-piston floating caliper.
Perfectly coordinated. The chassis.
A low centre of gravity is the key to easy handling and safe road behaviour. Which is why the fuel tank of the BMW F 650 GS
has been moved underneath the seat. The best ideas are always the simple ones. The combination of perfectly trimmed
telesopic forks at the front and the elegant damping effect of the strut in the rear is ideal for direct response from the road
surface, excellent straight-line stability and particularly light handling and allows for the perfect functioning of the BMW
Motorrad ABS. The excellent chassis set-up together with the extremely rigid engine-frame combination are the basis for
the bike's outstanding ride stability for unperturbed on and off-road travel.
