Black belt.
The drive mechanism.
Total control.
The brakes.
Because you want to ride. Not wait.
In the new BMW F 800 S and ST, a low-maintenance
toothed belt drive is employed as a ² nal drive, transmit -
ting the power of the engine to the rear wheel. The belt
has been designed from scratch, is especially wide and
offers a particularly long service life. Once the correct
tension has been set during initial inspection, it does
not need to be changed until it’s time to replace the
belt – a further advantage compared to traditional chain
drives. At the rear wheel, the toothed belt runs over a
stainless steel belt wheel into which is integrated a four-
part, asymmetrical damper, further minimising any load
change reaction.
Pull up. Just to get your breath back.
A front braking system consisting of two 320-mm diam-
eter brake discs plus high-grade, 4-piston hydraulically
activated ³ oating brake calipers, equipped with extremely
hard-wearing sintered metal coatings, ensures precision
control of the BMW F 800 S/ST when stopping. Alongside
this, the foot brake is connected to a 265-mm rear brake
disc featuring a precise single-piston ³ oating brake caliper
that is the last word in reliability. As well as looking great,
steel ³ ex brake hoses ² tted as standard ensure constantly
stable braking pressure, and for an even safer ride, you can
choose to opt for the latest version of BMW Motorrad ABS.
Weighing a mere 1.5 kg, it features linearly adjustable inlet
valves for less brake lever and pedal vibration.
A perfect ² t: please take your seat.
The standard seat on the F 800 S and ST stands 840 mm
off the ground with a step length of 1,850 mm, making the
motorcycles ideal for riders over 1.70 m tall, while a low
seat with a height of 815 mm and step length of 1,820
mm is also available. The lowered suspension option redu-
ces seat height to 760 mm and step length to 1,700 mm.
Shelter from the storm: ride in total relaxation.
Despite its sportily compact dimensions, the F 800 S
offers levels of wind protection that put it at the very top
of its class, while the full fairing of the F 800 ST means
that it performs even better in this regard.
Never miss an appointment.
The service information display tells you when your
