BMW Motorrad has launched the BMW G 310 R at Rs 2.99 lakhs and its adventure-focussed iteration, the BMW G 310 GS at Rs 3.49 lakh, ex showroom. With the duo made in collaboration with TVS — and essentially manufactured by the latter — BMW Motorrad enters the sub-500-cc segment.
The liquid-cooled 313 cc single-cylinder engine makes 34 bhp, boasts a reverse-cylinder design, and comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Most components are shared between the G 310 R and the G 310 GS apart from a few changes: fairing, suspension (longer travel on the GS), tyres etc. Brakes and fuel tank capacities are unchanged, but the GS variant is heavier by 10 kilos.
You can have the BMW G 310 R in the following colours: Style HP, Cosmic Black, and Racing Red. The G 310 GS is available in Pearl White Metallic, Cosmic Black, and Racing Red. A standard warranty valid for three years and unlimited mileage can further be extended up to five years.
Bookings for the duo opened sometime last month, against a deposit of Rs 50,000. The sales network is currently present in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Kochi, and will soon extend its presence to Chandigarh and Kolkata.
