BMW Motorrad has launched the new G 310 RR at ₹2.85 lakh for the base variant and ₹2.99 lakh for the Style Sport variant. The only difference between the two variants is that the base variant comes in a black shade and the Style Sport variant comes in the classic BMW white, red and blue livery. The BMW G 310 RR is essentially a TVS Apache RR 310 with a few changes. Let’s take a look at what’s different and what stays the same:

What’s new?
The BMW G 310 RR gets a few changes over its counterpart to differentiate between the two. Firstly, it gets a different paint scheme in the form of BMW’s white, red, and blue motorsport livery. Though it shares the same 5-inch TFT screen with Apache, it gets different graphics. Other than this, it gets conventional disc brakes instead of the petal units on the Apache and it also comes with Michelin Pilot Street tires compared to Michelin Road 5 tires on its sibling.
What is familiar?
The BMW G 310 RR is powered by a DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that cranks out 34 PS and 27 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It also gets 4 riding modes – Urban, Rain, Sport, and Track, which can be toggled between on the fly through the switches on the handlebar. These riding modes alter the ABS and engine power output. It is based on the familiar trellis frame and it weighs 174 kg. The bike gets USD forks in the front and a mono-shock in the rear. Unlike the Apache, the front suspension cannot be adjusted. It gets disc brakes in the front and rear and dual-channel ABS is standard.
Other features include a 5-inch TFT display that displays the speedometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel level, engine temperature, etc. However, it misses out on the option of Bluetooth connectivity. The design of the BMW G 310 RR is similar to the Apache RR 310. It gets a split LED headlamps setup and an aggressive fairing. The rear gets LED tail lamps and the seats are split into two parts. The BMW G 310 RR is around ₹20000 more expensive than the Apache 310 RR and it misses out on a few features too. However, if you want a more premium badge and are willing to compromise in some small areas, go for the BMW G 310 RR.
