A cut above. The G 650 X range’s chassis.

While the chassis of the three motorcycles show a clear family

resemblance, each of them has been tailored to the model’s

distinctive needs. The Xchallenge, Xcountry and Xmoto all use

the same high-quality 45-mm Marzocchi upside-down fork,

but the set-up and equipment are quite different. For example,

the Xchallenge and Xmoto both boast 270 mm of travel on the

front fork (compared with 220 mm on the Xcountry), and feature

adjustable compression and rebound damping. At the rear, the

Xcountry and Xmoto have a height-adjustable hydraulic strut, fully

adjustable spring pre-load and rear damping, and 165 and 215 mm

of travel respectively.

The Xchallenge, meanwhile, combines 270 mm of travel with

the BMW Motorrad Air Damping System, a spring damper

mechanism powered entirely by air. It allows the rider to select

the ideal suspension set-up simply by adjusting the air pressure.

And as well as being highly responsive and offering outstanding

traction, it is also extremely robust.

Putting the brakes on. The G 650 X range’s BMW Motorrad ABS.

Weighing a mere 1.5 kg, the latest generation of BMW Motorrad ABS offers the ultimate in safety for all three models. The 2-channel

system provides exceptional braking performance while being very compact in size, and incorporates wheel sensors which automatically

monitor the distance between the sensor and sensor wheel. The system can of course be disconnected for off-road use, when fitted to

any of the models.

K15_G650X_208_GBE.indd 29 02.07.2008 9:53:40 Uhr

It’s all about the

technology.

Per

formance that packs a punch.

The G 650

X range’s single-cylinder engine.

The engine in the G 650 X range sets new standards in terms

smoothness, fuel consumption, emissions and reliability. Its

lightweight

alternator flywheel, redesigned airbox and exhaust,

and specially

adapted engine electronics ensure it offers sports-

sty

le performance and exceptional responsiveness. 53 hp (39 kW)

power and 60 Nm of torque provide outstanding acceleration

across the rev range, while a balance shaft keeps vibrations to a

minimum, no matter how hard the engine is pushed. The twin-spark

ignition facilitates cleaner, more effective combustion, and in

conjunction with the BMS-C II engine management system, offers

impro

ved fuel consumption and lower emissions, ensuring all three

motor

cycles easily meet the current EU3 standard.

of 13 litres (plus five litres of additional storage

space) and features a large, waterproof map
