2018 BMW G310GS Beemer's mini ADV
CW FIRST RIDE
Hot on the heels of the new G310R roadster comes a G310GS adventure variant expected to arrive on showroom floors six months after the R. Sharing the same basic engine and frame, the GS model offers features aimed to provide modest off-road capability and will be priced slightly higher. Most notable is suspension travel increased to 7.1 inches front and rear along with a larger-diameter 19-inch cast-alloy front wheel and ADV-type Metzeler Tourance tires. A wider handlebar, increased seatto-peg room, stubby windscreen, and luggage rack are standard fare. Of course it wouldn’t be a member of the contemporary CS family without the obligatory nose-beak fender face-lift. -Don Canet
