BMW Motorrad Australia has unveiled its 2010 G 450 X ahead of its market introduction in January.

After an extremely successful debut year in the Australian dirt bike market, including a National Championship title in the AORC Expert Class, the BMW G 450 X is set to continue converting enduro riders to the BMW brand.

Hot on the heels of its international and nation competition success, the 2010 G 450 X will not only receive a new look but will also be fine-tuned to offer the trail rider and enduro racer an improved overall package.

Amongst the modifications the 2010 BMW G 450 X will receive updated ECU mapping for improved fuel consumption (4.3 l/100km versus 4.5 l/100km @ 90km/h) and a reduction in engine brake torque.

The chassis has also been slightly tweaked. The offset of the front axle to the middle of the fork rod has been reduced by 2.5 millimetres, resulting in more neutral handling with optimum directional stability. The new upside-down forks with updated internal settings that have a stronger damping progression for improved tracking and control in rough terrain. The linkage free rear shock has also received updated settings.

A new seat design; now filled with soft foam and also displays an enlarged radius in the upper thigh area, provides the rider additional comfort and control over the bike.

In its appearance, the 2010 BMW G 450 X further characterises the successful factory racing models of the BMW Motorrad Motorsport team, with matching, gold-anodised forks.
