The new BMW G 310 GS – ready for everday adventures.
As far as BMW Motorrad is concerned, GS is a promise – a promise
of perfect functioning, reliability and robustness. The G 310 GS
transfers these qualities to the below 500cc capacity segment,
embracing them in its own distinctive, mature interpretation.
The G 310 GS is a genuine GS: a highly contemporary product with
a level of versatility that is currently unrivalled in the segment.
It is nimble and agile in city traffic while over light terrain it
is supremely robust. This makes it the perfect companion for the
adventures of everyday riding. Extremely compact yet mature and
comfortable, the GS opens up a whole new world of riding experience
within its segment. It is precisely this versatility that makes the
G 310 GS unique in the entry-level segment.
Typical GS design.
The BMW G 310 GS can be identified as a genuine GS at first
sight. With its characteristic, high front fender, striking flyline
and short, high rear, the BMW G 310 GS features classic elements of
its big GS sibling models. Its compact proportions with a short
wheelbase, a 19-inch front wheel and extended spring travel make for
a typical upright posture, promising an agile, nimble riding
response.
At home on the roads of the world.
Like the G 310 R, the G 310 GS is also designed for the world
market. It takes diverse fuel qualities as well as meeting all
emissions standards and local requirements. It is at home on all the
roads of the world, bringing the hallmark BMW premium aspirations to
the segment below 500 cc.
Innovative single-cylinder engine for dynamic riding fun and
suitability for a broad range of uses worldwide.
The centrepiece of the new BMW G 310 GS is the 313 cc
liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine known from the G 310 R with
four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel
injection. The capacity of 313 cc results from a bore of 80
millimetres and a stroke of 62.1 millimetres.
A salient feature of the single-cylinder engine in the G 310 GS
is the fact that its cylinder is tilted to the rear and its cylinder
head is rotated by 180 degrees: intake at the front, outlet at the
rear. This configuration follows the logic of a straight,
power-enhancing supply of fresh air-fuel mixture and also has
positive consequences in terms of the bike’s architecture. With an
output of 25 kW (34 hp) at 9 500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm
at 7 500 rpm, the engine of the new G 310 GS is the ideal partner
for dynamic riding pleasure, in conjunction with the low unladen
weight of 169.5 kilograms according to DIN.
Perfectly designed BMW GS ergonomics for relaxed motorcycling
fun on the road and over light terrain.
The new G 310 GS provides a relaxed seating position that
enables carefree motorcycling pleasure both on the road and during
excursions along forest paths and gravel tracks. As is
characteristic of BMW Motorrad, all switches and controls are simple
and secure to handle. Great importance was attached to simple and
safe operation, taking into account the most diverse rider anatomies.
Bridge-type tubular spaceframe, upside-down fork and long
swinging arm for a high degree of ride stability, a precise steering
response and light handling.
In terms of its suspension, the new G 310 GS is similar to the G
310 R roadster in using a tubular steel spaceframe with bolt-on rear
section that combines torsional rigidity with robust quality. Given
its good stiffness balance, this provides the basis for excellent
ride stability and a precise steering response. The front wheel
suspension is taken care of by a solid upside-down fork while at the
rear there is an aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a spring
strut that is mounted on it directly.
High-performance brake system, ABS as standard and
multifunction instrument cluster.
Like all BMW motorcycles, the new G 310 GS comes with ABS as
standard. It combines a high-performance brake system with 2-channel
ABS for efficient deceleration and short braking distances. For use
over light terrain the ABS in the new G 310 GS can be conveniently
deactivated at the press of a button if required. The G 310 GS
instrument cluster has a large liquid crystal display that offers
excellent clarity and a wide range of information.
A genuine BMW.
Like the G 310 R, the G 310 GS represents everything that BMW stands
for: progressiveness, outstanding quality and of course many years of
carefree partnership with its owner. Excellent components and
materials come together to make it a real all-rounder. The G 310 GS is
the GS below 500 cc, providing worldwide entry to the premium world of
BMW Motorrad.
