G 310 RR

BMW Motorrad recently introduced the new BMW G 310 RR sportsbike in India.

  • the G 310 RR is a rebadge from TVS’s Apache RR 310.
  • the G 310 RR puts out 33.5hp and 27.3Nm.

The G 310 RR joins the already available G 310 GS and G 310 R, with all of the models sharing the same 310cc single-cylinder engine built in partnership with India’s TVS Motor Company.

After the successful introduction in India, BMW will now bring the 310 RR to China, as reported by Rushlane.

BMW Motorrad has sold more than 50,000 units of the G 310 range globally, of which 15,000 units were recorded in India alone, making the country the biggest market for the small capacity BMW branded bikes.

Understanding the rise in demand for a small-capacity motorcycle in China, the G 310 RR could do well in a country that shares a similar number of population with India
.
BMW Motorrad Head of Asia, China, Pacific and Africa, Markus Mueller-Zambre, explained that India would start exporting the G 310 RR to China soon, with the official launch will happen in the coming months.

In addition, Markus revealed that the G 310 RR would only be manufactured in India at the TVS manufacturing plant.

Considering how quickly BMW is pushing to export the new baby RR, it could also mean that we might see the bike in Malaysia soon enough.

Despite no further details, the G 310 RR is expected to land in Malaysia, considering the other two G 310 range is also available here. The G 310 R (2021) is available for RM27,500, while the G 310 GS is priced at RM29,500.

If the G 310 RR lands in Malaysia, it could cost slightly above RM30,0000.

BMW Motorrad akan memperkembangkan portfolio kerjasama dengan TVS Motor Company dengan memperkenalkan G 310 RR pada 15 Julai ini di India.

BMW G 310 RR bakal sertai G 310 R dan G 310 GS yang telah pun ada di pasaran dunia sejak 2015.

Bagaimanapun, berbanding G 310 R dan G 310 GS yang tampil sebagai jentera ‘roadster’ dan ‘touring’, G 310 RR merupakan model ‘sportbike’ yang dibina berasaskan TVS Apache RR 310.

Ramai yang menjangkakan G 310 RR akan hadir apatah lagi sejak TVS dan BMW bekerjasama dalam membangunkan Apache RR 310 untuk pasaran India dan global pada tahun 2018.

Punca penangguhan itu tidak dapat dikenal pasti namun menurut BMW Motorrad India, G 310 RR akan dilancarkan secara rasmi pada 15 Julai ini dengan pengedar rasmi di negara itu telah pun menerima tempahan.

Sementara itu, berdasarkan beberapa teaser dikongsikan, BMW G 310 RR disahkan akan menawarkan beberapa ciri menarik antaranya sistem suspensi KYB boleh laras depan dan belakang, serta paparan TFT berwarna.

Menariknya, ‘teaser’ terbaru juga mendedahkan G 310 RR akan mendapat grafik dan warna yang diinspirasikan daripada model S 1000 RR.

Selain itu, BMW G 310 RR dijangka dikuasakan enjin satu silinder 313cc empat-valve yang mampu menghasilkan 34hp pada 9,500rpm dan 27.3Nm pada 7,500rpm sama seperti ditawarkan Apache RR 310.

BMW Motorrad India has just drop a new teaser on what could be a new baby supersport from the company partnership with India’s TVS Motor Company.

  • The BMW G 310 RR is based on TVS Apache RR 310.
  • Powered by a 312.2cc single-cylinder engine capable of pushing 34hp and
    27.3Nm.

The teaser image showcased a new motorcycle set to be unveil on July 15, 2022.

Despite showing only the taillight, but the similarity with the TVS Apache 310 RR is a major giveaway thus confirming that BMW will finally enter the entry-level supersport segment with the G 310 RR.

Moreover, the ‘RR’ logo is clearly visible on the tail which also a big hint that the G 310 RR is finally on its way.

BMW Motorrad and TVS inked a long-term deal in 2013 which allows the two parties to share the 300cc platforms to compete in the rising Asian market.

The partnership resulted in the G 310 R (roadste)r and the G 310 GS (road-focused tourer) while TVS released the Apache RR 310, a fully faired sportbike.

  • The fully-faired BMW G 310 made its appearance at the BMW Motorrad Days in Japan.

  • The concept looks like a smaller S 1000 RR, clad in carbon-fibre.

  • BMW should show off the production model at Intermot and EICMA.

It looks like the BMW G 310 range will gain a sportbike, called the G 310 RR.

The BMW G 310 R (roadster) and G 310 GS (adventure) versions were launched to a great reception, not only in Asia where they were first intended but also in Europe and the Americas. Heck, we even saw many G 310 GS entered in the recent GIVI Rimba Raid Mat Daling and they performed well. What is missing from the line-up though is the sport version.

While it has been rumored for some time that the German manufacturer is working on a G 310 RR, they have been very secretive about it, hence there were little news and pictures to reveal the bike.

Well, BMW has dropped a bomb on us. The fully-faired version made its first appearance at BMW Motorrad Days in Japan.

As evident from the photo, the G 310 RR concept’s styling is heavily influenced by its popular sportbike sibling, the S 1000 RR, including the headlamps and the sinewy fairing on the right side complete with the trademark shark gills. Yes, we are sure some may even all it the “Baby S.”

The exhaust has been moved from the side to underneath the seat, and all the bodywork is in carbon fibre.

Speaking about carbon fibre, we do not think the material will be used in the final production bike. Still, having one more entry to the 300cc single-cylinder in the market will definitely light up the lightweight sportbike wars.

The production model should make its debut at the Intermot show at the earliest, or EICMA in November. Let us hope the production model looks as great as this concept!
