BMW G 310 RR Launched In India

BMW Motorrad has launched the G 310 RR in India at a price of INR 2.85 Lakh (ex-showroom).The BMW G 310 RR will be available in two variants - standard and style sport. It is the Bavarian manufacturer's third model from the 310 series following the G 310 R and the G 310 GS. Similarly, it is the fourth product to be co-developed under the TVS Motor Company – BMW Motorrad partnership, the other three being the TVS Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, and the G 310 GS.The BMW G 310 RR which is based on the TVS Apache RR 310 gets similar design elements, features, and even powertrain. The BMW G 310 RR, however, gets BMW-specific colours and badging. Everything from the split headlamps set up at the front to the bull horn style LED elements in the tail lamps has been carried forward from the Apache RR 310. Although the vertical 5-inch TFT instrument console remains the same, it gets a revamped operating system but misses out on Bluetooth connectivity.Powering the new BMW G 310 RR is a BS6 compliant 313cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that churns out 34 bhp at 9,500 RPM and 28 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 RPM same as the Apache RR 310. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and it gets four riding modes, ride-by-wire throttle, and dual channel ABS among others.The G 310 RR is built around the same steel-trellis frame, wheels and suspension as the Apache RR 310. However, it gets a pair of Michelin Street Pilot tyres against the better Michelin Road 5s on the Apache RR 310. When it comes to braking hardware, the BMW skips the petal disc for a conventional disc.
