7 Quick Facts About BMW G310GS

2) Engine & Gearbox
The G310 GS is powered by a 313cc single-cylinder engine that generates maximum power of 33.6 BHP @ 9500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 NM @ 7500 rpm. The throttle response is crisp and in no time, the rider can experience the full power of the bike. The engine allows the rider to hit highway speeds with comfort and the handling is easy as well.
3) BMW-Motorrad ABS
The G310GS comes equipped with a switchable 2-channel BMW Motorrad ABS. This means that you can turn it off or on, based on your choice. This will allow the rider to back better into corners or run headlong into tracks or have some fun with wheel-spins on gravel that will send it far up in the sky.

With an 11 litre tank and a combined mileage of 27-30 kmpl, the G310GS is good for nearly 300-330 km between fuel stops on a mixed driving for mileage and fun. The range is smaller in comparison to typical tourer motorcycles with around 20 litres of fuel carrying capacity.
5) Riding Capability
