The new 2020 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS have been launched in India. While the naked streetfighter has arrived for a price of Rs 2.45 lakh, its ADV cousin can now be yours for a price of Rs 2.85 lakh. Both prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi. That said, the BS6 model undercuts the price of the outgoing BS4 models by a significant margin. While the G 310 R BS6 is cheaper than the BS4 model by Rs 54,000, the G 310 GS BS6 is more affordable than its outgoing BS4 model by Rs 64,000. In terms of appearance, the design language of the 310 twins largely remains the same, however, there are now some noticeable differences. For instance, these get new headlamp units with LED DRLs like the ones on the company’s F 900 R. Moreover, the two bikes get a new paint scheme as well. Moreover, the headlights are now all-LEDs and hence, should offer better illumination in the dark. In addition to this, the 2020 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS get new paint schemes all thanks to which, these certainly look more appealing compared to the outgoing BS4 models.
In order to be precise, the new 2020 BMW G 310 R BS6 has been launched in Cosmic Black, Polar White and ‘Style Sport’ in Limestone Metallic shades while the BS6 BMW G 310 GS gets Polar White, ‘40 years of GS’ Edition in Cosmic Black and ‘Style Rallye’ in Kyanite blue Metallic shades. The ‘Style Sport’ colour for the BMW G 310 R demands an additional premium of Rs 10,000 while the ‘Style Rallye’ and ‘40 years of GS’ Edition shades for the G 310 GS BS6 will set you back by an additional Rs 6,000. The instrument cluster remains the same as before – an all-digital unit but we would have loved to see a full TFT coloured unit like the one similar to the unit on the BS6 TVS Apache RR 310. Both bikes now also feature a four-stage adjustable clutch and brake levers.
Now coming to the heart of these bikes! The new 310 twins get power from the same 312cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch. The fuel-injected engine is now BS6 compliant and is good for developing a maximum power of 34 hp along with a peak torque of 28 Nm. Brake set-up on the G 310 twins is the same as before i.e. 300mm disc unit upfront along with a 240mm disc at the rear, paired to a dual-channel ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System). Bookings for the new 2020 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS have already begun at the company’s dealerships across India for a minimum token amount of Rs 50,000.
