BS6 BMW G 310 R G 310 GS India Launch Date Revealed

BS6 BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS

BMW India has confirmed the launch date for the BMW G 310 twins. The BS6 version of BMW’s most affordable bikes in India will debut on October 8. Although the new emission norms came into effect in April 2020, the launch of the BS6 BMW G 310 R and the BMW G 310 GS was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bookings for both the BMW bikes had already commenced in August.

Teaser images indicate BMW will not just be updating both bikes with a BS6 powerplant but also LED headlights. The BS6 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS are also likely to be offered in new colour options to differentiate themselves from their predecessor.

The TVS Apache RR 310 received the BS6 treatment earlier this year and its power output remained unchanged despite the transition. The liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor is rated at 34PS and 27.3Nm. We are hopeful that even the BMW engines will make the transition without any power loss.

While most two-wheelers have witnessed a price hike with the BS6 update, our sources say BMW Motorrad has a surprise in store for us. Rumours suggest the BS6 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS could receive a price cut of around Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000! One of the main reasons the BMW bikes have failed to strike a chord with Indian buyers is their premium pricing. If the German brand manages to reduce prices, it could look forward to better sales figures. Watch this space for more updates.

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...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

Watch Video Review Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket. Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!
