2017 BMW G 310 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in BMW's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2017 BMW G 310 R utilizes a 313 cc (19.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 34 HP (24.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 28 Nm (20.7 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 108.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the G 310 R measures 158.8 kg (350 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,374 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
