BMW G 310 GS (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW G 310 GS was a lightweight dual-sports machine made by BMW in collaboration with TVS Motor Company in 2016 and was the sister model of the BMW G 310 R.

It all started in 2013 when BMW announced the collaboration with TVS to produce a sub-500cc machine. The bikes were targeted at developing markets and were intended as entry-level sports machines.

The BMW K03 was the code name of the first model made by the two companies and was a test bike developed in India and shipped to Germany for further testing and modifications. In 2015, in Brazil, BMW presented the BMW G 310 Stunt as the first concept machine.

In 2017, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW G 310 GS, a motorcycle based on the G 310 R, which shared much of the same hardware and technologies. Like its sister model, the G 310 GS offered compact proportions with a short wheelbase and a 19-inch front wheel with extended travel, providing an agile and nimble riding experience.

In the aesthetic department, the bike packed a front mudguard, an upper front fairing with an extended fender, a minuscule windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, a side stand, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2017 BMW G 310 GS had installed a 313cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 34 hp at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

In 2021, the bike was EURO5 compliant and featured technologies such as an unswitchable dual-channel ABS, Idle Speed Control (ISC), an electronic throttle control, a slipper clutch, adjustable levers, and an LED headlight and turn signals.
