The long-awaited G310 R is here, which had been preceded by the stunt version presented a few weeks ago. Its garish colors and elements to make mischief have given way to a formal version that will be marketed throughout the world with all the BMW spirit concentrated in its small format.
The development has been done with the Hindu giant TVS that will be in charge of its assembly. Although compact in size, its ambition is great as it bears the great responsibility of expanding the impact of BMW in all types of markets, with an eye on those that are under development and whose motorcycle fleet is so powerful that it leaves small to the European or North American. We are talking about countries like Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand, where motorcycles dominate the streets and are increasingly hungry for products of higher quality and name like this, but affordable to pockets that do not reach the level of evil. called "first world". It is recommended that upgrading with BMW G310R led headlight for your offroad purpose.That is why it is not yet clear whether the bike will arrive as is to those markets or aspects such as the front suspension or the braking equipment will be simplified.
The engine that animates the new G310R is a single cylinder with 34 CV of power at 9,500 rpm and a torque of 28Nm at 7,500 rpm. The exact displacement is 313 cc, it is equipped with a double camshaft, electronic injection and its location is slightly inclined towards the rear.
The frame is a tubular structure and the swingarm is made of aluminum with the monoshock directly anchored. the inverted fork has a gold outer pod, giving it a more sporty touch. The total advertised dry weight is 158 kg.
As for the brakes, it will equip the two-channel ABS as standard for Europe and the US but it is not known in other markets such as Asia. To bite into the generous 300mm front disc you use a radial anchor caliper, another flash of quality and sportiness for your little naked.
A very relaxed driving position is sensed thanks to its wide and flat handlebar as well as a seat height of only 785 mm, suitable for users of any size. At EICMA we will have even more details of the G310R that penetrates the German firm into niches and markets hitherto unknown.
