The increased off-road qualities of the new F 900 GS are expressed by the ergonomic triangle ( handlebar - seat - footrests ) optimised for off-road use . Lower footrests in combination with the higher handlebar position and the new design of the fuel tank provide clear advantages , especially when riding standing up on rough terrain .

The new GS models in the F series already each have a large 6.5-inch TFT display as standard . This applies in particular to the F 800 GS , which previously had an analogue display . Information diversity , quality of presentation and , last but not least , user-friendliness are unrivalled . Phoning , listening to music and navigating while riding is very comfortable . The new BMW F 900 GS is already equipped with a 12 mm holder as standard , which permits action cams or other devices to be mounted . In order to install the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator or the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Cradle , the " navigation preparation ” option is also required .
