BMW G 310 RR pre-launch bookings open, deliveries will be on first-come-first-served basis
Ahead of its launch on 15th July, BMW has partially unveiled its upcoming G 310 RR sports bike and pre-launch bookings for the same has also been officially opened across the country.
Customers can book the bike at all BMW Motorrad authorised dealerships or via online by visiting www.bmwmotorradg310rr.com. Post launch, deliveries will be done on a first-come-first-served basis, the company said in a statement.
For ease of ownership, BMW India Financial Services is offering a complete package that includes zero down payment, low monthly payments starting at Rs. 3999/-, and the option to fund insurance and accessories.
Coming to the design, while it’s nearly the same as of that of the TVS Apache RR 310, the front cowl and visor get mild revisions.
The triangle shaped recess between the 2 head lamps on the Apache has been removed and, in its place, there seems to be something like a fake air intake system or a piano black element giving the upcoming bike a similar look to that of the Triumph Daytona.
Even the visor’s bubble looks bigger and more curved than that of the Apache’s unit. Further the bike has been wrapped with BMW’s trademark Light White/Racing Blue Metallic/Racing Red livery.
Despite being a single cylinder with a rather small 312 cc engine, TVS Apache RR 310 has some serious numbers to boast. It can hit 60 km/hr in 2.93 seconds while ton comes in 7.17 seconds. The bike can hit genuine a top speed of 166 km/hr.
TVS has loaded the flagship Apache with some serious tech and features too. It gets a 5-inch colour TFT screen with connected features including race telemetry, dual-channel ABS, 3 ride modes with electronic throttle control, slipper clutch, Michelin Road 5 tires, etc.
Above all, the bike has been wind tunnel tested for achieving the perfect real world aerodynamics unlike many of its competitors which relied only on CFD software for analysing drag.
Currently, TVS Apache RR 310 and BMW’s naked, the G 310R, command a price tag of Rs. 2.65 lakhs while BMW’s adventure bike, the G 310 GS, comes at a premium of Rs. 3.05 lakhs. So, the upcoming bike will be launched at a price tag of around Rs. 3-3.2 lakhs (all prices, ex-showroom).
When launched, it will compete against the likes of the recently launched 2022 KTM RC 390, 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 300, and Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
