. Expected Price – Below Rs. 2 lakhs?
BMW G310R has been made to make its place in Indian hearts and thus the pricing has to be decided accordingly. Initially, G310R was expected to be priced close to Rs 2.50 lakhs, but as per the recent reports, there won’t be much difference in the price of KTM Duke 390 and BMW G310R. BMW may price it under 2 lakh rupees, maybe around 1.90 lakh rupees(expected ex-showroom Delhi price). Some reports still claim that BMW won’t be able to price it under Rs. 2.50 lakhs. So, we will have to keep our eyes wide-open till October for the final price update.
Engine and Gearbox – Refined & Smooth
The BMW G310R gets its power from 313 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine built with advanced technology, the bike is able to produce 33.6 Bhp of power and 28 Nm of peak torque. The engine has its head mounted backwards towards convention which places the intake in the front of the cylinder block and the exhaust at the back. This has been done to create space as told by BMW. It also has brought a positive impact on the center of gravity and also fulfilled BMW’s promise of big bike feel in the G310R despite the bike’s compact size. The engine is mated to the 6-speed constant mesh gearbox. According to BMW, the engine of G310R is counterbalanced enough to deliver a smooth power-train.
Top Speed & Mileage – 145 kmph| 30 kmpl
The BMW G310R can make you feel good with its top speed of 145 kmph, but it is lower in comparison to the top speed of KTM 390 Duke(179 kmph). BMW claims the mileage of the bike to be 30 kmpl, which seems like a decent figure, considering the fact that it is a 300cc+ motorcycle. The bike has a fuel tank capacity of 11 litres along with 1 litre reserve fuel capacity. It is expected to be a high performance and fuel-efficient bike by BMW in India.
Rival Bikes – Watch out KTM 390 Duke!
The bike is expected to give tough competition to KTM 390 Duke, Benelli TNT 25, Mahindra Mojo 300, and Bajaj Pulsar CS400. Let’s see whether these bikes continue to rule our hearts after the launch of BMW G310R.
