The G310R is powered by a single-cylinder 313cc engine that produces 33bhp and 28Nm of torque. The engine sends the power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox.

The BMW G310R was unveiled at the EICMA Motorcycle Show last November in the Italian city of Milan. The motorcycle made its debut in India at the 2016 Auto Expo in February.
