BMW G 310 GS

BMW G 310 GS Highlights

BMW dealerships across India are offering the BS4 G 310 GS at Rs 3.49 lakh. RTO and registration costs will be borne by the dealers. The ADV is expected to be updated to comply with BS6 emission norms post the 1 April deadline.

It’s an entry-level ADV from BMW Motorrad designed for the city, highways and some off-road terrain. The design language is reminiscent of the R 1200 GS, thanks to the stubby front beak, radiator shrouds, headlamp cowl, tank design and a luggage rack. Just like its elder brother, the baby GS offers a relaxed and slightly raised seating posture, perfect for long hauls. However, being a soft roader, the motorcycle rides on alloy wheels, instead of spoked wheels that can tackle off-road terrain efficiently.

The BMW G 310 GS is powered by a reverse-inclined 313cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It generates 34PS of power and 28Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

The motorcycle features long-travel inverted front fork and a rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by a single 300mm disc with a 4-piston caliper up front, while the rear gets a single-piston caliper clamped onto a 240mm disc. 

Unlike the G 310 R, the ABS is switchable for the baby GS. The motorcycle employs dual-purpose tyres that measure 110/80-19 at the front and 150/70-17 at the rear. While the international models are offered in two seat options, 835mm and 850mm, the Indian variant has a seat height of 850mm. The BMW G 310 GS goes up against the Royal Enfield Himalayan, Kawasaki Versys-X 300 and the KTM 390 Adventure.
