BMW G 310 R BS6 G 310 GS BS6 Bookings Begin Launch Likely By Mid-September

 

Watch Video Review

 

  • The two G 310 siblings have been spotted with LED headlights.
  • Spied images hint at the presence of ride-by-wire.
  • Expect a significant price cut for the new bikes.

It seems BMW Motorrad was quietly working away during the lockdown to get its G 310 siblings ready for BS6 norms. The BS6 bikes were spotted at the beginning of the lockdown abroad and as things started getting more relaxed in the country, the bikes were roaming our streets too. BMW is confident that the BS6 bikes are ready to hit the market as the bookings for the updated G 310 R and G 310 GS have commenced.

Motorrad dealerships across the country were already accepting bookings prior to the official announcement. Now that the communication has arrived, the launch should take place soon enough. And there is going to be a treat for new buyers (which will sound miserable to existing owners), BMW Motorrad might be offering the new bikes at a significantly lower price point. According to our dealer sources, one can expect the new models to be Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000 cheaper than before! Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, right?

The biggest change highlighted on the new G 310s in the teasers, and also the worst kept secret, is the addition of new LED headlights. The earlier models didn’t particularly have great illumination systems, with slightly flimsy housing present on the GS model. These new LED units should do the trick.

Lastly, we expect BMW to follow in TVS’s footsteps and introduce ride-by-wire on its own bikes. Built on the same platform as the Apache RR 310, the G 310 R and G 310 GS could benefit from the electronic aid, thereby making the motor less prone to vibrations. Expect no change in the performance output from the 312cc engine though.

We will have to wait for a while to know all the details about the updated BMW bikes. So stay tuned to ZigWheels.com for all the dope.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Review In Pictures

  Watch Video Review   Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India). We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review   While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read:  Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx   The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit.   Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
