BMW Motorrad has revealed the G 310 R and G 310 GS for the 2022 model year. Before you get too excited, it would be worth noting that it is nothing more than a cosmetic update.



The G 310 R gets two new colour options - Kyanite Blue Metallic with Red wheels and Cosmic Black Two. The bike will no longer be offered in the Polar White shade.

The G 310 GS gets a new Triple Black shade while the '40 Years of GS' colour scheme has been discontinued.



Both the G 310 R and G 310 GS share the same 313cc, single-cylinder engine. It produces 33 BHP @ 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm @ 7,500 rpm. The same engine powers the TVS Apache RR 310. The bikes come with a 6-speed transmission and slipper clutch as well as ride-by-wire.

The G 310 GS is BMW's entry-level adventure bike. On the other end of the spectrum lies the R 1250 GS, which is scheduled to be launched on July 8.

While the 2021 310GS has been immensely popular since it undercuts the Duke 390Adv, BMW could have brought in some updates to make it an even stronger offering. Bring back switchable ABS (removed during BS6 upgrade), offer Traction Control, a better MID and perhaps riding modes?

That said, hope the waiting periods have normalised, I had to wait 50 days to get mine.

Congratulations and all the best with your bike!

It’s selling well because of the price cuts, if they would add traction control and riding modes the cost would go up. Expecting traction control and riding modes at this price point would not be realistic.

I think considering the power output the feature set is fine. Just needs an update of the MID as it looks terribly dated and even TVS which makes this bike uses a beautiful MID on its Apache.

That and maybe add back switchable ABS.

The blue one looks sweet though I would get rid of those red alloys. Looks like a KTM (no offence to KTM lovers).

BMW Motorrad has upped the prices without any significant updates, 310R is at 2.6L and 310GS at 3L now; I see 10k price increase.
Has BMW Motorrad got greedy and forgotten that their sales increased due to price cuts?

When I was waiting for mine, the SA at the BMW dealership mentioned that TVS is sabotaging the 310 twins' assembly line (citing rising input costs / uncertain manufacturing timelines) because they want to come up with their own offerings in this segment. Some truth to it - or just some excuse to justify long wait times?

I really wish that they upgraded the bike a bit instead of just the price.
Now that rr310 comes with adjustable suspension, that can be another part which can be shared (of course with due automotive engineering diligence).

Also, the new color looks just meh to me.

2022 BMW G310R is offered in two new shades whereas the GS gets a fresh black. They have been launched in India at unchanged prices

G310R and G310 GS, the entry-level 300s from BMW have received new color schemes. The 2022 R will now be sold in Style Passion and Cosmic Black 2 shades and the new GS gets Style Triple Black.

The older model of G310R and G310 GS were available in Cosmic Black, Polar White, and Style Sport finish. The older Cosmic Black offered a black body with white shades near the tank on both the flanks. Also, the sides of the headlight had white color.

In the new Cosmic Black 2, BMW has turned the bike’s body color entirely in black. It looks cool and upon first glance appears like the bike is having a matte black wrap. Its sibling, entry-level adventure bike G310 GS also gets a similar color update but it has silver panels.

Another color Polar White is also going through changes. The earlier color scheme only had Blue and white colors. In the revamped 2022 model of the G310R, the new finish, called as Style Passion Kyanite Blue Metallic, combines Blue, Red, and White colors and looks less cluttered.

The trellis frame gets red paint corresponding with the same color alloy wheels. Instead of a lighter blue shade, the new 2022 G310R model now comes with a darker shade of blue.

The graphical updates add more prominence to the looks of the BMW G310R. The third color – Style Sport gets no update and still comes with the Limestone Metallic paint, with red alloys on the wheels.

The 2022 BMW G310R and G310 GS was unveiled in July for the world. And it has been now introduced in India at unchanged prices.

The most affordable BMW’s retail at INR 2.5 Lac for the streetfighter 'R' version whereas the ADV GS goes for INR 2.90 Lac (prices ex-showroom).

Possible; TVS is already so tied on this platform that they can only fulfill 100-150 units of their RR310 via BTO (Built To Order). That platform is really setting sales chart on fire, isn't it?

Some truth to it - or just some excuse to justify long wait times?

'Auto SAs' and 'pinch of salt' come in hand-in-hand and I am sure you know how many pinches exactly in this case.
