BMW PressClub Germany updates us on the upcoming G 450 X
BMW motorcycle has over the last 80 years, off-again history. Now committed to the mark as consistently for the sports ground like never before and provides for the first time an uncompromising, pure sports Enduro in the attractive 450er Displacement class: the new BMW G 450 X - a motorcycle designed exclusively for the Enduro Sports and the most demanding competitions in the world. A machine, the factory is ready for immediate use race.
Background for the development of such a machine is the recognition that competitive Enduro motorcycles in size with growth potential in the motorcycle market in question. Markets like the U.S. and Australia, but also Spain recorded in off-road sector almost traditionally stable revenues and BMW motorcycle would like to take this and other markets well supplied and revive the long run. In addition kleinvolumigere open off-road motorcycles is the gateway to both width as well as to professional motorsports and provide enough potential to the young generation the fascination motorcycle again to close. BMW is therefore with the G 450 X also a sign for the young and long-term future security of the motorcycle in general.
The drive with the latest fuel injection and controlled three-way catalyst is homologated Euro III and is already sufficient for the sporting events increasingly emission regulations. This completes BMW motorcycle a further step to the social acceptance of the Enduro sport in the future. The patented oriented, unique technical features of the new BMW G 450 X put impetus and will contribute to the technological competition in this segment forward.
Even the introduction of the Hard Enduro BMW G 650 Xchallenge, the direction: Frames and swing layout for improved traction off the road, light weight and handy chassis, dynamic drive. The BMW G 450 X BMW motorcycle goes much further and there is not klassen??blichen design features satisfied.
In the area of drive and chassis were high-tech solutions, adapted to the terrain sports tradition of the house and build the brand off the road a fascinating independent profile.
The concept of BMW G 450 X is based on the objective of the masses
as close as possible to concentrate on focus and a chassis design to achieve the perfectly to the requirements of the Sports Centre adapts. The central element of this design is the amalgamation of the rear axle bearing arm with the axis of rotation for the drive pinion. This eliminates the length change, when the chain and Ausfedern and the influence of Endantriebs on driving behaviour are minimized. Other discharges of this unique technical approach at the same wheelbase as the competition is a much longer swingarm and maximum traction in the Enduro Sport with its extreme demands on man and machine tangible benefits.
Elementary for the overall design is the result of the merger case of swinging storage and pinion axis obtained in the course length. It provides not only a long arm, but also a further back shifted location for the modern, performed by 50 high-horsepower DOHC-Einzylindermotor. Its cylinder was now more inclined forward and created space for so long, straight Ansaugwege. It was also an ideal position for injection and dual throttle valve system. This helps the engine without performance degradation to the Euro III emission standards which would motorcycle in this category is not standard.
Other design advantages: Airbox is protected and streamlined above the engine before the bench. As a result of the consistently implemented, central mass concentration near the focus is on the 8 litres of petrol fassende (ECE, 7l U.S. version) under the seat position. His filling is below an opening in the back of the seat. The reserve will function on a warning light in the cockpit.
The starters sitting in front of the engine, the battery is dirt-protected and easily accessible directly behind the head tax in the top frame triangle. The air filter is rectangular, planes wet element, by a locked drawer mechanism is very simple, safe, clean and extremely quickly to change. To exchange the right, with a quick fixed Tankattrappen coverage decreased and the air filter drawer pulled out.
In amount of the tax is the head Ansaugschnorchel, whose position hochgelegene advantages in water passages or dust development. The seat of the BMW G 450 X consists of a special piece of foam plastic. It has neither a reference, it still builds on a foundation or a tub, which weight advantages.
Another independent design feature is the relocation of the clutch directly to the crankshaft. A position that a sophisticated frame construction allowed the frame tubes can be completely straight from the wings to the storage driving head. This brings maximum rigidity with both low weight and minimal use of materials. Other plus points were that overall arrangement for the cooler. This now had enough space to piece to be. This allowed additional hoses and thus weight can be saved.
In the development of the BMW G 450 X was the focus of ergonomic design on the fahraktiven interpretation. Starting from the head tax to the rear part of the bench, the machine kept above narrow, giving the driver a maximum room for manoeuvre. Especially when driving in standing, the pilot benefits, because abolition of the tank at this point more space is available and significantly narrow the motorcycle can be held.
In this configuration, the G 450 X the first BMW Enduro, which consistently on professional competition to use was developed. In the area they can take advantage of their unique design features like no other vehicle full coverage. The effective concentration of the masses to the focus by the unique swing-drive storage eliminated effects, the resulting low-schlei?ƒ chain and pinion, the extreme, to a 250-Crosser-like handling, while enormous track stability, low weight, the powerful drive and the high spring elements provide the ambitious sports enduro rider constructive reasoned advantages in tough competition and unlimited driving pleasure. Based on the opportunities that exist for their pilots in store, the G 450 X related to the harsh operating off-road terrain the most powerful BMW ever.
A committed specialist team of engineers and mechanics, which is also home for many years, sports grounds, this new model at BMW motorcycle to the motto "from enthusiastic professionals for enthusiastic professionals". The BMW G 450 X leads already in the BMW G 650 Xchallenge realized consistently off-road competence in the area of professional sport enduro. She weighs approximately the same power about 40 kilograms less than the G 650 Xchallenge and is the first draft to the last detail tailored to the needs of the ambitious and success Enduro sports driver. As a completely independent and absolutely exceptional motorcycle is the BMW G 450 X a pure sports equipment, but of course, standard on all roads for approval the necessary attachments. So you can, as opposed to class standard, with the BMW G 450 X problems on its own axis route to the house.
The innovative, patented technology of the single-sport enduro concept has been throughout the year 2007 in fierce competition to use all relevant events of experienced and successful racers as Sascha Eckert, Simo Kirssi and Jo?½l Smets intensively tested, developed and coordinated. Today, the motorcycle
from the factory at the highest level for use for off-road racing and betting to apply for admission and the public roads without further changes.
Thanks to good transit from low speeds, a smooth power output and enormous revolving joy, thanks to superior driving characteristics of light with extreme handling, best balance in slow "Trial" sections and enormous stability at higher speeds are not only professionals or full-Enduro everyday driver, but even Enduro sports novices with this motorcycle racing easily cope.
In support of the extreme sport enduro qualities operates
A BMW motorcycle factory racing team, the G 450 X in the testing phase in various Enduro sports events and continue to. For example, in the Enduro World Cup of E2 or the German Cross Country Championship (GCC). The worldwide market introduction of the BMW G 450 X is roughly from mid-2008.
