BMW Motorrad is ready to launch a new motorcycle in the Indian market, and its latest offering - the G 310 RR - will go on sale on July 15, 2022. Through the extensive teaser campaign run by BMW Motorrad, it has revealed several details about its baby supersport motorcycle which is the latest product of the BMW - TVS partnership. The BMW G 310 RR will be manufactured by TVS to be sold by BMW, and is essentially a twin sibling to the TVS Apache RR 310. While we await for all the details to be announced at the launch event, here's what you can expect from the motorcycle.

Design & Styling
In terms of the paint scheme, BMW has taken inspiration from its larger supersport bikes, and has designed a livery synonymous to those models. The G 310 RR gets a red and blue coloured livery on top of the paint scheme, and a BMW logo on either side. The motorcycle is expected to go on sale with multiple colour options, and the styling will be one of the largest differentiator between the BMW G 310 RR and the TVS Apache RR 310. The bike also gets golden coloured USD forks to add to the visual drama. Apart from the paint scheme and the logos, BMW has kept the design and looks of the motorcycle unchanged from the strikingly designed Indian sibling.
Engine & Gearbox
The motorcycle will get the same 313 cc reverse-inclined single-cylinder engine that powers the other entry level BMW bikes - the G 310 GS & the G 310 R - and also powers the TVS Apache RR 310. While we wait for the official confirmation of the power output of the engine, it is expected to make the same 34 bhp at 9,700 rpm and 27.3 Nm torque at 7,700 rpm. The engine will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
Chassis & Suspension
The G 310 RR is based on the same chassis as the Apache RR 310, and offers good ride comfort along with decent entertainment in the corners. The TVS Apache RR 310 BTO (Built-to-order) offers a fully adjustable suspension, and it will be interesting to see if the same is offered by BMW at the time of launch. We expect that the motorcycle will get all the additional features like fully adjustable suspension, lowered clip on handlebars and more aggressive foot pegs and all the other kit to be added to the accessories package at a further date, with the launch model expected to be a standard spec bike. The bike was spied with golden coloured USD forks up front, and will also get a monoshock at the rear.

Tech
The G 310 RR will get a 5.5 inch vertical TFT display similar to that of the Apache RR 310. However, it is expected that the display will run a BMW operating system to deliver a user experience closer to one of its big bikes. It is also expected to get bluetooth connectivity, and may also have additional connected features.
