SPOKED WHEELS NOW AVAILABLE AS OFFICIAL BMW F 450 GS ACCESSORY

To enhance off-road durability and personalise your riding style, spoked wheels are a sought-after modification, and BMW Motorrad is now offering a set for the F 450 GS as an official accessory.

The aluminium cross-spoked rims, finished in black and measuring 2.50x19” on the front and 3.50x17” on the rear, are tubeless and laced onto a cast hub.

Spoked wheels offer a more compliant construction than alloy counterparts and this flexibility is particularly desirable off-road, for finding grip in loose conditions and shaking off harsh impacts.

Beyond this, the new wheels offer an aesthetic change that is particularly fitting for an adventurous machine like the F 450 GS. The set is available now for £875 including VAT, excluding fitting and tyres*.

Owning a set of spoked wheels on knobbly tyres as well as the standard cast wheels on road tyres means the F 450 GS can be perfectly set up for long tarmac stretches or days sliding around in the mud, for the ultimate in flexibility.

Launched earlier in 2026, the F 450 GS was a highly anticipated, mid-capacity addition to BMW Motorrad’s GS family, led by the iconic, boxer-powered R 1300 GS adventure motorcycle.

Powered by a newly-developed 48hp twin-cylinder engine, the F 450 FS punches above its 178kg kerbweight in terms of handling, performance, and everyday usability. It makes riding on- or off-road accessible to all, from newer motorcyclists to those with more experience.

Bringing new tech to the growing mid-capacity adventure segment, the F 450 GS can be specified with the innovative BMW Easy Ride Clutch (ERC), aimed at improving comfort and control by reducing the need for manual clutch operation.

This is all wrapped up in unmistakable GS styling, including the signature LED headlight with “X” daytime running graphic, adventure-focused ergonomics, and an upright position for confidence and comfort on all surfaces.

Scott Grimsdall, Head of Marketing & PR at BMW Motorrad UK, commented:

“Offering an official set of spoked wheels for the BMW F 450 GS acknowledges its breadth of ability and the scale of adventures owners undertake.

“Whether used on- or off-road, these new wheels are an aesthetic nod to the heritage of the GS name, and we are delighted to be able to offer this in-demand accessory to our customers.”

*Price is for rims and hubs only, parts including brake discs, sprocket, and cush drive will need to be carried over from the original wheels.
