Accessories for the BMW G 450 X

The BMW G 450 X is an enduro bike suited to riding on trails and changing ground. On this kind of ride, how you brake, reach the levers and keep track of what is around you matters more than luggage capacity or wind protection. The accessories on this page focus on those practical points of control, whether you spend most of the day off road or include stretches of tarmac between trails.

What riders usually fit to the BMW G 450 X

Enduro riding can mean slow, technical sections one moment and a firmer, faster surface the next. The following accessory types available for the G 450 X address different parts of that experience:

• Brakes: on loose ground or a downhill trail, being able to judge and apply braking carefully makes a difference to your riding. Brake components are worth considering if you want to focus on that feel, particularly when the amount of grip changes over the course of a ride.
• Levers: standing on the footpegs changes the angle of your arms and hands compared with sitting down. The way you operate the brake and clutch levers becomes especially noticeable while negotiating tight turns, picking a line through uneven ground or riding slowly through a difficult section.
• Mirrors: rides that link trails by road also call for awareness of traffic behind you. Mirrors help you keep an eye on your surroundings when joining a road or moving between off-road sections, rather than treating every outing as if it takes place entirely away from traffic.

Think about where you actually ride the G 450 X before deciding what to address first. A route dominated by loose trails puts different demands on your controls from one with frequent road links, even though both can be part of the same day out.
