BMW G 310 R

BMW G 310 R Highlights

The BMW G 310 R costs Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India), and is the most affordable motorcycle from the German marque. The design language is quite sporty with the mass concentrated at the front and a stubby tail section. Its well-sculpted tank along with its distinctive and angular tank shrouds are inspired by the S 1000 R. 

It features a digital instrument console, which reads the essentials: speedometer, tachometer, trip meter, odometer, fuel gauge, gear indicator and a service indicator.

The G 310 R uses a unique reverse-inclined 313cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor which produces 34PS of power and 28Nm of peak torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox.

The suspension duties are handled by 41mm upside-down forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a single 300mm disc up front, while the rear gets a 240mm disc. A dual-channel ABS comes as standard but it isn’t switchable. Its 17-inch alloys are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Street tyres, measuring 110/70 at the front and 150/60 at the rear. With a saddle height of 785 mm, riders of all sizes should be able to get astride the G 310 R and manage it with ease. The BMW G 310 R locks horns with the KTM 390 Duke, the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 and the Honda CB300R.
