German bicycle manufacturer BMW joined the under 500cc bike segment four years ago when it launched the G 310 GS. Powered by a single-cylinder engine with just the right amount of power to be attractive to beginners, the bike enjoyed levels of success large enough to make room for a new iteration.
But we’ll start with what hasn’t changed on the bike, and that is its engine. We are talking about a 313cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with four valves, two overhead camshafts and electronic fuel injection. The nominal power also remains the same as before, that is, 34 hp at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 7,500 rpm.
However, the new version of the bike comes with some new features. First, the GS has an electronic throttle grip that should offer a more responsive response. There is a new self-amplifying anti-jump clutch and four-stage adjustments for the clutch and parking brake levers.
BMW also modified the images of the bike a bit. There are now three color variants of the BMW G 310 GS, sharing among them the engine casing covers for the alternator, clutch and water pump, which are now painted in titanium gray metallic.
For those looking for a more badass styling, the 310 also comes in Rallye styling, with the metallic Kyanit blue and red painted frame for the center tank deck. Also on offer is a special 40 year GS edition, with sporty black and yellow graphics.
BMW did not say when the new bike will be available or if it will come with price changes. All information published by the bike manufacturer can be found in the press releases section below.
