6. Ergonomics
Riders who are vertically challenged can comfortably enjoy their rides on the BMW F750GS due to a low seat height of 32.1 inches in the middleweight ADV bike category. There are also multiple options in seat sizes. You can select the 29.9-inch seat height or the 33.3-inch high rally seat.

7. BMW F 750 GS Features and Enhancements
7.1 Engine Guard
The installation of right and left engine protection bars is extremely good for the safety of the bike’s engine, as they protect the engine from getting damaged while cornering. Stainless steel is used in the manufacturing of engine protection bars that protect the cylinder periphery without limiting the lean angle.
7.2 Dynamic Traction Control & ABS Pro
There is also a dynamic traction control that prevents the bike from drifting and slipping by controlling the power transferred to the rear wheel. Ultimately, the rotational speed of the bike is efficiently controlled. The rear wheel does not spin in changing riding conditions, keeping you and your bike safe from potential road hazards and accidents.
The BMW F750GS integrated ABS Pro feature also ensures standard safety by regulating the braking pressure that can lock the wheel. The ABS prevents this and provides stability to your bike. With the advanced ABS Pro, riders can ensure better control of the bike while braking in different conditions, particularly while cornering.
7.3 Extended Pro Riding Modes
Two different ride modes including Rain and Road modes are also available for the ease of riders. However, the extended Pro riding modes include two main advanced features: DBC and EBC. DBC stands for Dynamic Brake Control, which assists in braking. Meanwhile, the EBC (Engine Brake Control) ensures safety by preventing the rear wheel from skidding when the rider downshifts or releases the throttle.
7.4 Better Visibility with BMW F 750 GS LED Lights
The BMW F750GS also ensures more safety by improving the visibility of the road ahead with the help of high-quality and distinctive LED lights and indicators.

Entertainment is always the priority of all riders during long-distance travels. To cater to the needs of riders, the BMW F750GS features a USB port on the right side of the dashboard, allowing you to enjoy your journey with the fully-charged mobile phone and music.
7.6 TFT Display and Multi-Controller
There is a large 6.5-inch TFT display that acts as the best communication 'interface' between the rider and the motorcycle. You can have complete access to your bike information, make a call, and use media and navigation as well. With the availability of the Bluetooth feature, you can also connect your smartphone with the bike.
7.7 Suspension and Chassis
The BMW F750GS features a dynamic electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) that provides better adaptability to the changing conditions on the road, and ultimately, provides enhanced riding safety and performance.
