2023 G 310 GS

The 2023 BMW G 310 GS serves as an agile, highly accessible entry point into BMW’s legendary adventure touring family, engineered to effortlessly balance daily urban commuting with light off-road exploration. Powering the lightweight dual-sport is a unique 313cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine featuring a backward-tilted cylinder design that optimizes weight distribution. This powerplant produces a manageable 34 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque, routing power through a precise six-speed transmission equipped with a self-reinforcing slipper clutch. A modern Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle ensures crisp, predictable power delivery, while an automatic idle boost prevents the engine from stalling during low-speed maneuvers. The mechanical core is housed within a rigid tubular space frame that yields neutral ergonomics and a commanding, upright riding position. For navigating rough pavement or dirt roads, the bike is fitted with a 41mm inverted front fork and a pre-load adjustable rear monoshock, both delivering a generous 7.1 inches of suspension travel. Braking performance relies on hydraulic disc brakes at both ends supported by a standard, non-switchable ABS safety system. Weighing just 386 pounds fully fueled, this nimble machine completes its adventure-ready package with full LED lighting, adjustable hand controls, and a practical rear luggage rack.
