BMW Motorrad has launched the BS6 G 310 R in India. The more eco-friendly urban motorcycle gets a few new features including a ride-by-wire system. This makes the throttle response more precise and crispier, enhancing the overall riding experience. It should also improve the performance of the motorbike. BMW Motorrad has also added adjustable clutch and front brake lever.
The BS6 BMW G 310 R also features a
brand-new LED headlamp which seems to have been borrowed from its elder
sibling, the F 900 R. This full-LED unit is expected to provide much better
illumination in the dark than the halogen setup of the bike’s BS4 model. It
also flaunts its attractive horizontal LED DRL which is a minor touch but
certainly enhances the overall visual appeal of the motorcycle. Don’t you think
so?
Powering the new G 310 R is a 313cc
single-cylinder BS6-compliant engine which produces 34 hp at 9500 rpm and 28 Nm
at 7500 rpm. These figures are sufficient enough to accelerate the motorcycle
from 0-50 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and provide a top speed of 143 km/h. Paired
with the motor is a 6-speed gearbox. BMW Motorrad has also added a slipper
clutch.
The BS6 G 310 R is available in a total of
3 colour options, however, it is the new Style Sport paint scheme which is
quite eye-catching. It features a special limestone metallic colour which
combines with red rims and a red frame to create a bold, sporty appearance. Earlier
it was being anticipated that BMW Motorrad would put on a very attractive price
tag on the less polluting G 310 Twins. Well, the speculations have turned out
to be pretty spot on because the BS6 G 310 R has been priced very competitively
at INR 2.45 lakh (ex-showroom).
