The 6-speed gearbox
transfers the torque with an optimized transmission ratio. The
slipper clutch with self-reinforcement provides precise actuation and smooth
downshifts.
The
newly introduced ‘Ride by Wire’ system passes on the rider’s commands directly
from a sensor on the twist grip to the engine control system resulting in even
finer control and improved throttle response. Thanks to the electromotive
throttle controller, automatic idle speed increase when starting also prevents
a possible sudden stalling of the engine.
The new BMW G 310 R
and BMW G 310 GS now feature a full-LED headlight for even better
visibility at night and LED flashing turn indicators and LED brake lights for
increased visibility in traffic. Both, the clutch lever and the handbrake lever
are now adjustable in four stages. It provides ergonomic benefits, particularly
for people with small hands.
The
new BMW G 310 R features a ‘Style Sport’ colour scheme in which special
Limestone metallic color combines with red rims and a red frame to create a
bold, sporty appearance. Similarly, the new BMW G 310 GS features an exclusive
color scheme with ‘Style Rallye’ effect. Here, the red frame combines with
Kyanite Blue metallic color to showcase the dynamic GS genes. The new BMW G 310
GS has another special ‘40 Years GS’ edition colour scheme. It is based on a
famous historical model from BMW GS history - the R 100 GS. This edition comes
with basic cosmic black color and yellow graphics on tank side panels.
In
both bikes, the engine housing covers for the alternator, clutch and water pump
are finished in new Titanium Grey metallic color. In the BMW G 310 R, this
further extends to the footrest plates and rear grab handle, enhancing the
modern look.
The
suspension has a torsionally stiff, highly robust tubular steel frame in grid
structure with bolt-on rear frame. The front wheel suspension is taken care of
by a solid upside-down fork while at the rear there is an aluminium swinging
arm in conjunction with a directly mounted spring strut. The suspension
geometry is designed for easy handling, stability and a neutral cornering response,
which makes for an active riding character and maximum riding fun.
The
high-performance brake system with 2-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
ensures efficient deceleration and short braking distances. The standard
multi-function instrument cluster has a large display that offers excellent
clarity and a range of information.
