1 138 Enduro SuperMoto The TOURATECH TB 652 ORYX is a lightweight construction motorcycle based on the BMW F650GS. High quality components and concentrating on the essentials have enabled us to achieve a weight of 115 kg (ready to drive and without fuel). The same design that you will find in the ENDURO you will also find in the Oryx SuperMoto. But in choosing the components we have taken into consideration its special purpose. 250 mm spring travel front and rear and 120/70R17 and 160/60R17 tyres make the Oryx brilliant on bends. The Oryx is a modular design. You can obtain various kits based on your F650GS and so build a real Oryx in Enduro style or in Supermoto trim. The various options enable the Oryx fan to create his own individual Oryx from the basic kit up to the full blown versions. Driving pleasure!!! You will find further information abaut the range, standard fittings, prices and optional accessories for your special Oryx at ORYX

Demands on the physical and mental fitness of the riders are extreme, and the equipment suffers too; only the best prepared machines have a chance of passing the finish line after such a day. The ORYX, a Touratech creation based on a BMW F 650, made it through all the way, securing fifth place in the end. A respectable result under conditions that were less than optimal in terms of the weather. The rain kept pouring and with the rain came mud; conditions that
