The luxury automaker, BMW is developing a mini-version of the G310R adventure tourer named as GS310R, which is currently under works and probably hit the markets in 2017. The official announcement has been made by BMW Motorrad UK, which is about to introduce its third offering after the G310R and TVS Akula 310. The newcomer would be a collaborative effort of BMW-TVS.
Specs-wise, the GS310R mini adventure bike would possibly inherit the power figures from its elder sibling G310R. The former would get a 310cc or a bit more, liquid-cooled motor incorporating other specifications from the latter. Churning out a power of 34BHP and a peak torque of 24NM, the single cylinder engine is a derivative of G310R. For enhancing the touring capabilities, long travel suspensions from BMW's GS-family will take up the responsibilities. The silhouette is likely to be the same as its sibling with sharp naked delineations.

Without a doubt, the development of the mini tourer will be done in Germany while production takes place in India by TVS in its Hosur facility. The GS310R will be a treat for the Indian adventure bike lovers because of the top quality standards the German bikemaker implements in its each and every motorcycle. We can anticipate that BMW is focusing on full package with a competitive price tag. As far as the prominent rivalries are concerned, the newbie is going to get a tough competition from the forthcoming KTM 390 adventure machine. The voyager would probably launch in next year when done with the development.
