BMW Motorrad India has announced the new GS Trophy edition colours. This is for its offerings, F 850 GS, R 1250 GS, and R 1250 GS Adventure. All three models only get updates on the cosmetic front, so no changes to the mechanicals. The Bavarian trio now gets blue and silver with red accents for the new cosmetic update. Apart from that, all three motorcycles carry forward the same features and mechanical bits from the standard trims.

It gets a six-speed gearbox paired with a quick shifter from BMW’s Dynamic Package. As for the 1250 GS siblings they use a 1,254cc boxer-twin motor dishing out 134.14 BHP and 143 Nm. BMW offers a slew of electronics on all three ADVs.

The new paint scheme is available at the same price as the other models. 2022 Was A Great Year For BMW Motorrad BMW Motorrad India had a great 2022.
