New Zealand: Enduro fun every step of the way.

It's not just the perfect film backdrop for famous fantasy films, it's also the ideal terrain for the International GS Trophy 2020: In New Zealand, rainforest meets glaciers, stepp-like flora meets subtropical flora. The island is characterized by high plateaus and mountain peaks with heights of well over 3000 meters as well as fjord landscapes, countless uplands and woodlands – the best conditions for exciting trails and gruelling challenges. Wherever the trail may go: Every meter is packed with pure enduro fun.

The GS Trophy bike.

The F 850 GS is made to push the boundaries and discover the unknown. Thanks to the two-cylinder in-line engine with 70 kW (95 hp), Int. GS Trophy riders have a robust powerhouse that will win over any terrain. The high torque and lively nature of the F 850 GS turn obstacles into exciting challenges. What's more: The special GS Trophy decal makes this bike a real eye-catcher in New Zealand.
