The BMW G310R gains two new exhaust options from the
house of Akrapovic. Available in Racing Line (SS) and Racing Line (Carbon),
these systems do not just promise great sound but also increased power and
torque.
In stock form the BMW G310R’s single cylinder mill
is capable of producing 34 hp of maximum power at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of peak
torque at 7,500 rpm. The Racing Line (SS) promises 1.61 hp of extra power and
2.4 Nm of extra torque at 4,900 rpm. It uses stainless steel for the muffler
outer sleeve, with a stainless-steel header and carbon fibre endcap. It even
reduces the overall weight of the bike by 3.3 kg. A stock BMW G310R weighs
158.5 kg.
The two Racing Line exhaust systems are EC/ECE type
approved. The Racing Line (SS) version is fully compliant with Euro 4
regulations while the Racing Line (Carbon) system is aimed at markets where
meeting Euro 4 is not necessary. The former has a pre-muffler and a catalytic
converter in the muffler to conform with regulations.
Akrapovic has given the BMW G310R‘s 313 cc
powerplant a more sophisticated and colourful sound that aligns perfectly with
the bike’s sporty image. The Racing Line (Carbon) version takes a further step
on the sound spectrum, with a more aggressive tone that further livens the
riding experience. It not just reduces the weight of the bike by 4.6 kg, but
also increases the power by 2.41 hp and torque by 2.7 Nm.
