The India-built G 310 GS gets in on the 2021 update action, with its first major update since it debuted four years ago. The engine remains
at 313 CC, but its liquid-cooled single now adheres to Euro-5 emissions standards. BMW have added what some old-school riders might call an automatic choke—that is, the bike’s computer increases idle when starting the bike to prevent cold-start stalling.
BMW Motorrad also announced updates for the R 1250 RT and R 1250 GS/GSA models.
In addition to adjustable clutch and brake levers and a front-facing LED lights, the baby GS gets what may be the most exciting update in the 2021 lineup beyond the iPad-sized TFT display on the RT: an anti-hopping clutch! This will please riders initially
with its reduced level of effort at the clutch lever, but its performance boost in reduced engine drag when downshifting will not just increase safety, but increase fun as well. Color schemes are updated as well, and now feature Polar White, Rallye
(red frame, blue body panels) and the 40th anniversary bumblebee throwback scheme, though it is more subdued on the 310 than the 1250s.
