Engine Displacement: 313 cc
The G 310 GS features a unique 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Its defining characteristic is the reverse-inclined cylinder design—where the intake is at the front and the exhaust is at the rear. This tilts the center of gravity towards the front wheel and allows for a more compact vehicle architecture.
Max Power: 34 PS (25 kW) @ 9,250 rpm
Delivering 34 PS, the engine is tuned for a linear power delivery. The power peaks high in the rev range, which is characteristic of its DOHC setup, providing a spirited top-end performance suitable for highway cruising.
Max Torque: 28 Nm @ 7,500 rpm
With a peak torque of 28 Nm, the G 310 GS offers sufficient grunt for light off-roading and quick city overtakes. The torque curve is designed to be flat, ensuring manageable power delivery for beginner adventure riders.
No. of Cylinders: 1
The bike utilizes a single-cylinder configuration. To mitigate the inherent vibrations of a "thumper," BMW has integrated a counter-balance shaft, which ensures remarkably smooth operation even at higher RPMs.
Valve Train: DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft)
The DOHC system features four valves actuated by finger followers. This technology is directly derived from BMW’s flagship S 1000 RR, allowing for high engine speeds and precise valve timing.
Fuel System: Electronic Fuel Injection (FI)
The BMS-E2 Electronic Fuel Injection system works in tandem with a Ride-by-Wire (electronic throttle) system. This ensures crisp throttle response and automatic idle speed increase to prevent stalling when starting in cold conditions.
Top Speed: 143 km/h
On open stretches, the G 310 GS can reach a verified top speed of 143 km/h. Its aerodynamic front "beak" and small flyscreen help maintain stability at these triple-digit speeds.
Mileage: 30 kmpl (Approximate)
The bike offers an efficient fuel economy of roughly 28–32 kmpl depending on riding conditions. This gives it a theoretical range of over 300 km on a full tank, ideal for long-distance touring.
