BMW G 650 X Country

BMW G 650 Xcountry offers the same versatility, bringing together the best of two worlds: excellent road-going qualities combined with offroad assets typical of an Enduro.

In terms of both looks and technical features, the G 650 Xcountry stands out quite clearly from its two sister models: Featuring a smooth-lens round headlight, a “naked” cockpit without fairing, a two-level seat and the front mudguard running close to the wheel and held in position by a stable tubular bracket, the G 650 Xcountry alludes clearly and intentionally to the classic scrambler. Indeed, this particular look is further enhanced by the high-rising exhaust system as well as twin-tone paintwork in Deep Black and White Aluminium matt metallic.

The G 650 Xcountry is also quite unique in technical terms, the telescopic fork still offering ample and relatively smooth wheel travel requiring a mere 240 millimetres or 9.45′′ overall travel to ensure exemplary riding comfort and appropriate offroad qualities. The rear gas-pressure spring strut, in turn,comes with an adjustable inbound stroke and spring pre-tension allowing 210 millimetres or 8.27′′ spring travel. It also features convenient adjustment for length allowing variation of seat height from 840 to 870 millimetres (33.1 to 34.3′′). In combination with the high-rising aluminium handlebar complete with vibration-damping weights, this ensures a particularly casual and relaxed seating position.

It almost goes without saying that a scrambler, by tradition alone, simply has to come on wire-spoke wheels. So this is precisely what the G 650 Xcountry has to offer, ensuring consistent lightweight technology all the way, with hollow-cast aluminium hubs and epoxy-plated rims also made of light alloy.

Typical of a scrambler, the 19-inch front wheel, as well as the 17-inch wheel at the rear, both roll on hollow-drilled wheel shafts. And last but not least, tyres with their own special tread and dimensions of 100/90 at the front and 130/80 at the rear, again live up to all the versatile and individual requirements made of a scrambler.

Superior stopping power is provided also on the G 650 Xcountry by brake discs measuring 300 millimetres or 11.81′′ in diameter at the front and 240 millimetres (9.45′′) in diameter at the rear. The brake callipers are floating units with double-piston actuators at the front.Featuring a 16-tooth pinion and a 47-tooth sprocket, finally, the final drive ratio is exactly the same as on the Street Moto.
