BMW G 310 RR sportsbike launched in India: Rs. 20,000 pricier than the Apache RR 310

The TVS Apache 310’s brother from another mother – the BMW G 310 RR – has finally been launched in India, at a price of Rs. 2.85 lakh for the base variant. A higher trim, called the Style Sport, is priced at Rs. 2.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The BMW G 310 RR is a fully faired motorcycle, with distinct styling that differentiates it from the Apache RR 310. Both motorcycles share the engine, frame and a lot of other components, and are built at TVS Motors’ Hosur factory. Apart from selling the G 310 RR in India, BMW Motorrad will export the sportsbike to countries around the world.

The BMW G 310 RR is powered by the same 313cc, reverse inclined, liquid cooled single cylinder four stroke engine that puts out 33.5 Bhp of peak power at 9,700 rpm and 27.3 Nm of peak torque at 7,700 rpm. A 6 speed manual gearbox is standard, and the motorcycle accelerates from 0 – 60 km/hr in just 2.9 seconds. There’s a slipper clutch and dual channel ABS on offer while suspension consists of upside down front forks and a monoshock rear. There are four ride modes standard: Track, Urban, Rain and Sport.

Ride-by-wire, a 5 inch TFT display and an infotainment control switch are the various other high-tech bits on the new sportsbike. BMW Motorrad sells two other entry-level sportsbikes in India – the G 310 R naked sportbike and the G 310 GS on-off road bike.

Mr Markus Mueller-Zambre, Head of Region Asia, China, Pacific & Africa at BMW Motorrad said,
