Some info on the new F650G series

The lineup:

• Xchallenge - Hard Enduro

• Xmoto - Street Moto

• Xcountry - Scrambler

The 3 Amigos:

All three bikes are very different from each other. They are engineered for three different purposes. BMW has optimized the weight, power, and performance on these new machines.

They weigh in from a scant 344 lbs. for the Xchallenge, to 353 lbs. for the Xmoto and Xcountry. Boasting a nice 53hp @ 7,000 rpm with 44 ft-lb's of torque @ 5,250 rpm.

Wheels are 17" for the Xmoto, 19" & 17" for the Xcountry, and 21" & 18" for the Xchallenge.

To brake these bad boys, the Hard Enduro and Scrambler have single front disc 11.81" with double pistons. The Street Moto has four piston stopping power on a 12.60" disc.

Al come equipped with "O" ring chain. Hard Enduro (Xchallenge) sports a 15 tooth pinion, 47 tooth rear sprocket. A much shorter ratio than the other two bikes with their longer 16:47 combo.

Fuel capacity is 2.5 gal with a range of approximately 155 miles. If my metric conversions figure correctly, you are looking at about 60 mpg.

Rear taillight is now LED! Clear turn signal lenses with standard bulbs. Both the Xchallenge and Xmoto will require a passenger kit if you want to take the sweetie for a scoot.

HP2 technology in Xchallenge:

You heard it right. The Xchallenge (Hard Enduro) sports an Air Damping system just like the HP2. Right down to having a liquid level to adjust the correct ride height.
