G 310 GS Specifications

The BMW G 310 GS is powered by a 313cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine producing 34 PS at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and drives the rear wheel via a chain. ARAI-certified mileage is 30 kmpl, though real-world figures reported by owners range from 26-28 kmpl in city riding to 32-35 kmpl on steady highway runs.

The chassis is a steel tube frame with upside-down telescopic front forks offering 180 mm of travel and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock with 177 mm of travel. Ground clearance is 220 mm, which handles the speed breakers and potholed approach roads common on Indian touring routes. The wheelbase is 1380 mm and the bike tips the scales at 169.5 kg kerb weight - the lightest in its competitive segment.

Braking is handled by a front disc and rear disc setup paired with dual-channel ABS. The BS6 model removed the switchable ABS option that earlier variants had, which is a notable step backward for off-road riders. Tyres are 110/80-19 at the front and 150/70-17 at the rear - dual-sport compound that handles mixed road surfaces but limits the choice of aftermarket adventure rubber.

The fuel tank holds 11 litres, giving a practical range of approximately 290-330 km on a full fill. Seat height is 835 mm - accessible for most riders of average height, though shorter riders may still prefer one foot down at stops. The instrument cluster is a basic LCD unit showing speed, trip, fuel level, and gear indicator but lacks Bluetooth, navigation support, or real-time fuel consumption data.
