BMW F450GS Development
Vehicle Dynamics & Suspension Engineering for BMW’s next-gen ADV platform
As part of the Vehicle Dynamics team at TVS Motor Company, I contributed to the development of the BMW F450GS — a next-generation adventure motorcycle co-developed by TVS and BMW Motorrad. This platform is designed to offer a lightweight, high-performance ADV machine optimized for both off-road exploration and long-distance road travel.

The BMW F450GS project combined simulation-driven development with rigorous prototype testing. It was a pivotal opportunity to apply advanced vehicle dynamics and engineering practices to shape a product destined for global adventure riders.
