<p>BMW Group India has sent us a ‘Block Your Date’ invite for a press conference on 18 July, without revealing the event. We strongly believe that the company will launch the BMW G 310 R and the BMW G 310 GS on the said date in India. <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2018/06/bmw-g-310-r-bmw-g-310-gs-bookings-india-306848">BMW Motorrad officially started bookings for the bikes from 8 June 2018, at an amount of INR 50,000</a>.</p>

<p>The BMW G 310 R made its global premiere in 2015, while the bike was subsequently showcased in India at the Auto Expo 2016. The company then unveiled the adventure version, the <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2018/02/bmw-g-310-gs-auto-expo-2018-live-298025">BMW G 310 GS in 2016, which made its Indian debut at the 2018 Auto Expo</a>. The G 310 R is speculated to be priced at INR 3.5 lakh, while the G 310 GS is likely to be priced at INR 4 lakh (both on-road prices). However, we will be mighty impressed if BMW prices both the bikes competitively as compared to the KTM 390 Duke.</p>
<p>BMW Motorrad India hasn’t revealed the delivery timeframe for both the bikes; however, speculations are rife that deliveries will start by the end of July or early August. The BMW G 310 twins are developed by BMW in Germany, while the bikes are manufactured in India by TVS Motor Company in Hosur, under the BMW-TVS joint partnership, until now only for exports.</p>
<p>The BMW G 310 twins are powered by a 313 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, engine that gets a reverse-cylinder design. This engine produces 34 bhp of maximum power and 28 Nm of peak torque, while the engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The TVS Apache RR 310 is a beneficiary of this engine. That said, the G 310 twins will run a custom ECU from BMW Motorrad as compared to the TVS counterpart.</p>

<p>A tubular steel trellis frame underpins both the bikes, and they come shod with USD front forks and a rear mono-shock. Braking responsibilities are anchored by disc brakes at both ends along with standard ABS. Owning to the reverse-cylinder design of the engine, both bikes get an extended swingarm and a shorter wheelbase. The baby BMWs come equipped with 5-spoke alloy wheels, while they tip the weighing scales at 158.5kg (G 310 R) and 169.5kg (G 310 GS).</p>
