EXCLUSIVE! BMW F 310 GS Adventure incoming

For those who wanted a smaller, more compact adventure bike, but can’t wait for a new KTM anymore, another three-letter company is set to deliver.

BMW Motorrad will introduce the F 310 GS Adventure in India in the fourth quarter of 2016 following the roll-out of the G 310 R in the coming months. The F 310 GS Adventure, ‘GS’ meaning ‘Gelandestrass’ basically translating to go anywhere road or mountain, uses the same 313-cc single cylinder four-valve DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that has been reworked and specifically tuned to produce 30 PS at 8,000 RPM with a peak 27.5 Nm coming in at a meatier 5,750 RPM and staying until 7,000 RPM. A flat torque curve that peaks earlier is better suited to off-road conditions and requires fewer gear changes, leaving the rider with more mental capacity to focus on the terrain and direction.

The motor is paired to a six-speed gearbox, with the sealed O-ring chain sending power to the fat rear wheel. The choice of mechanicals do not disappoint. The front suspension is a fat 41-mm USD fork with 140-mm travel. The rear monoshock is link-mounted and can travel 190-mm. The 19-inch front wheel is wrapped in a 90/90 rubber, with the rear being a 150/60 R17. Dual-purpose tyres are offered as standard.

Add the wide handlebars, stepped seat, 19-litre tank, and provisions for mounting luggage and the F 310 GS Adventure begins to make a lot of sense. Also, at present, apart from the Royal Enfield Himalayan, there are no nearly-affordable adventure bikes out there.

We hope to give you more details once we have a Bike India exclusive first ride story for you shortly.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
