BMW G 310 R & G 310 GS Price Hike Announced In India: Still Costs Less Than BS4 Motorcycles
BMW Motorrad India increases the price of the G 310 R and the G 310 GS in the country. The street-naked motorcycle and the adventure tourer receive a price hike of Rs 5,000. Prices for the G310 range of bikes now start at Rs 2.65 lakh, ex-showroom.
The company is yet to announce the reason behind the price hike. However, it could be due to the increase in raw material prices and logistics required for manufacturing and sales.
After the price increase, the BMW G 310 R now retails at Rs 2.65 lakh. While the G 310 GS costs Rs 3.05 lakh. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom (India).
Despite the latest price hike, the BS6 motorcycles are significantly cheaper than their BS4 counterparts. This is achieved due to the heavy localization of G 310 motorcycles by BMW in India.
The updated BS6 G 310 motorcycles were launched in India back in October 2020. At the time of launch, these motorcycles represented a huge value for money over the BS4 models. The BS6 G 310 R and the G 310 GS were cheaper by almost Rs 64,000.
The G 310 range is powered by the 312cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired to a six-speed gearbox. This produces a maximum of 34bhp at 9500rpm and a peak torque of 28Nm at 7500rpm.
Both motorcycles also feature a slip-assist clutch to enable smooth up and downshifts. The fueling is smoother with the use of Ride-by-Wire technology. The G 310 R and the GS can accelerate from 0 - 50km/h in just 2.5 seconds and continue to reach a top speed of 143km/h.
Both G 310 R and the G 310 GS feature an all-new front fascia with a new headlamp design. The entire lighting setup including turn signal indicators is LED. Other changes include updated graphics and a couple of new paint schemes that enhance the looks of both motorcycles.
Suspension duties on both motorcycles are handled by a gold-finished USD fork at the front and a mono-shock setup at the rear with pre-load adjustability. Braking on the motorcycle is done via disc brakes at both ends supported by a dual-channel ABS as standard. Both motorcycles also receive adjustable brake and gear levers to suit the rider.
The G 310 R is offered in three colour options: Style Sport, Cosmic Black 2 and Style Passion. While the G 310 GS is also offered in three colour options: Rallye Style, Polar White and Cosmic Black.
Thoughts About The BMW G 310 R & G 310 GS Price Hike Announced In India
Despite the latest price increase, the BS6 G 310 R and the G 310 GS motorcycles remain significantly cheaper as compared to the BS4 models. The G 310 R and the G 310 GS are the entry-level offerings in the brand portfolio that cater to two different segments. Both motorcycles have shown consistent sales performance against their segment rivals in the country.
