The 2023 BMW Motorrad GS Experience has commenced in India. The event offers riders a unique opportunity to experience the capabilities of the GS-class of bikes. It is a two day training session which has been designed exclusively for BMW adventure motorcyclists.
This specially curated program offers riders a chance to learn the basics of off-road riding. On the first day, the owners of the GS bikes over 650cc will be participating. On the second day, BMW 310 GS riders will be called in. The training will include familiarity with the bike, understanding correct riding posture, enduro steering amongst others. Additionally, there will be exercises like gravel riding, emergency stop on slope, emergency braking and riding on inclines. After successful completion of Level 1, riders will automatically qualify for level 2.
BMW Motorrad has one more agenda with its GS Experience. There is a nation-wide search for three GS riders who will participate in the International GS Trophy as a team. The GS Trophy 2024 will be conducted in Namibia. The qualifiers for this event will be conducted later this year in India.
