BMW Motorrad India has increased the price for the G 310 R and G 310 GS by Rs 5,000. Following the price hike, the BMW G 310 R is now priced at Rs 2.65 lakh, whereas the G 310 GS will set you back by Rs 3.05 lakh. There are no mechanical updates and the new prices come into effect immediately.

The last time BMW increased prices for these two bikes was back in August 2021. Despite that and the new price hike, both motorcycles are still significantly cheaper than their BS4 versions. In fact, the G 310 R still undercuts its arch rival, the KTM 390 Duke. Even in the case of the G 310 GS, it is priced below the KTM 390 Adventure. Although, it must be said that the KTMs are much more powerful and feature loaded than their German rivals.

To reiterate, both the G 310 R and G 310 GS are powered by the same 313cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 34hp and 28Nm.

Do the BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS appeal to you following the latest price hike? Let us know in the comments.
