Getting a revamp for the upcoming model year is the 2021 BMW Motorrad G310R naked sports. For 2021, the G310R is now Euro 5 emissions compliant and receives a makeover in the form of a new headlight and paint scheme options.
Mechanically unchanged from the previous
model, the 2021 G310R carries a liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine
with four valves, displacing 313 cc with engine orientation reversed to place
the intake at the front. Power output is claimed to be. 34 hp at 9,500 rpm and
torque is listed at 28 Nm at 7,500 rpm.
New inside the engine room is ride-by-wire
throttle that offers better engine response with automatic idle speed increase
when the clutch is let out to prevent stalling when moving off from standstill.
For the six-speed gearbox, a new self-boosting anti-hopping clutch is added,
reducing rear wheel hop during hard downshifting and reducing lever effort.
The G310R now comes with span adjustable
brake and clutch levers in four positions, with position 1 bringing the lever
six millimetres closer to the bar from standard (position 3). LED lighting is
now used throughout on the G310R including LED indicators including an LED DRL.
Cosmetic makeover for the G310R includes
Titanium Grey Metallic paint for the alternator, clutch and coolant pump covers
as well as footrest plate and rear grab handle. There are three paint options
for the 2021 BMW Motorrad G310R – the base colour of Cosmic Black, now
accompanied by Polar White, while a third “Sport” option has Limestone Metallic
with red “R” graphics, complemented by wheels and frame painted red.
