Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and new riders thanks to its modest power, light weight, and predictable handling.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a nimble city commuter and learner-friendly roadster rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light 164 kg wet weight make it accessible and manageable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA friendly, approachable single-cylinder naked bike that rewards smooth, relaxed riding over aggressive throttle use.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for highway-heavy touring, off-road use, or riders seeking strong top-end speed and power.

2017 BMW G 310 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 BMW G 310 R, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
