The BMW name is often linked with luxury, high-performance machines, and a hefty price tag. But what if you could experience that BMW DNA in a budget-friendly sports bike? Enter the BMW G310 RR – a sharp-looking, agile, and performance-packed motorcycle that brings supersport vibes at a price that won’t break the bank.
Co-developed with TVS Motor Company and inspired by the Apache RR310, the BMW G310 RR is built for everyday riders who want a touch of racing spirit without spending a fortune. Let’s explore what makes this bike special and why it might be your next dream machine.
Design & Style
Right from the first glance, the G310 RR turns heads. It carries an aggressive design inspired by BMW’s racing heritage. The front gets sharp twin LED headlights with integrated DRLs that give it a bold face. The fairing is sculpted for both aesthetics and aerodynamics, with sporty graphics that reflect BMW’s motorsport legacy.
The bike comes in two color options – Black Storm Metallic and the striking BMW Motorsport White with red and blue accents. The sharp tail section, split seats, and side fairings all give it a proper supersport look. If you want something that stands out at every traffic light, this one checks the box.
Engine & Performance
Under the fairing, the G310 RR houses a 312.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which is the same motor used in the Apache RR310. It produces 34 PS of power at 9,700 RPM and 27.3 Nm of torque at 7,700 RPM, giving you strong mid-range performance.
The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, allowing smoother downshifts and preventing wheel hop during aggressive braking. The G310 RR is tuned for linear power delivery, making it easy to ride both in city traffic and open highways.
Top speed? Around 160 km/h, which is more than enough for most Indian roads. The acceleration is quick, and the bike feels alive above 5,000 RPM. It may not match a 600cc sportbike, but it gives a thrilling ride in a much more manageable and affordable package.
Ride & Handling
This bike is not just about speed. The BMW G310 RR shines when it comes to handling too. The trellis frame offers great stability, while the upside-down front forks and monoshock rear suspension ensure that the ride is both sporty and comfortable.
The G310 RR handles corners with confidence. Whether you’re taking on twisty hill roads or zipping through urban traffic, the bike feels planted and precise. At 174 kg (kerb weight), it’s light enough for easy maneuvering, yet heavy enough to offer high-speed stability.
Braking duties are handled by radial caliper disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS, giving you ample stopping power in all conditions.

Features & Tech
BMW has loaded the G310 RR with useful and performance-oriented features. One of the highlights is the 5-inch TFT display, which shows all riding information clearly, including gear position, speed, RPM, fuel, and more.
You also get multiple riding modes – Urban, Rain, Sport, and Track – each one adjusting power delivery and ABS response to suit different conditions. For a bike in this segment, these modes add a level of customisation usually seen in higher-end superbikes.
Other features include:
-
All-LED lighting (headlamp, tail lamp, indicators)
-
Ride-by-wire throttle for crisp response
-
Smart ECU with dynamic engine management
-
Adjustable brake and clutch levers
Though there’s no Bluetooth or navigation yet, the focus here is clearly on performance rather than convenience tech.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
A common concern with sportbikes is mileage. Thankfully, the G310 RR manages to strike a balance between power and efficiency. In real-world riding, you can expect around 30–35 kmpl, depending on your riding style and traffic.
For a bike that delivers this level of performance and weighs 174 kg, that’s quite decent. With an 11-litre fuel tank, expect a range of around 300-350 km on a full tank, making it suitable for weekend rides and city commuting alike.
Price & Variants
The BMW G310 RR is available in two variants:
-
Standard Black Storm Metallic – ₹3.05 lakh (ex-showroom)
-
Style Sport (BMW Motorsport Colors) – ₹3.25 lakh (ex-showroom)
Yes, it’s slightly more expensive than its cousin, the Apache RR310, but for that extra cost, you get the BMW brand, premium paint scheme, and a more refined ownership experience. BMW also offers attractive EMI plans, service packages, and extended warranties.
