BMW G310RR VS Apache RR 310: Which one is the right choice?

BMW G310RR VS Apache RR 310: #Design Comparision#

FRONT DESIGN

When you look at the front both bikes BMW G310RR and the TVS Apache RR 310 look identical to each other. the headlights, front windscreen, and rearview mirrors have the same design. I feel that you can use BMW parts on the TVs Apache. Read More

Both bikes get LED Bi-projector headlights long with tiny DRLS. below the headlights, the company has provided an air vent for engine breathing. it helps the engine to breathe efficiently at high speed. on the other hand, the front is fairing wide which makes it look like a litre class bike BMW S1000RR.

Besides this, a licence plate holder can be seen on both bikes. Besides this, the Apache RR 310 has a TVS logo on the front fairing along with some graphics. whereas G 310 RR has no graphics on the logo. moving on front mudguard it’s also the same in design. but Apache RR 310 gets an ABS sticker on it.

Moving on to the wheel you will get the same size alloy wheel 3.00 x 17″ front and 4.00 x 17″rear and the same size tyre. But the Apache RR 310 comes with  Michelin ROAD5 tyres and G 310 RR comes with the Micheline Pilot street tyres.

Besides this, the rearview mirrors and large windscreen are the same as you can see in the images we have shown here.

SIDE DESIGN

The G 310 RR and Apache RR 310 share similar design elements, such as side farings, exhausts, footpegs, fuel tanks, and seats. However, they differ in terms of graphics and colours. The G 310 RR has BMW graphics, including the round BMW badge, which gives it a premium feel. Read More

Meanwhile, the Apache RR 310 features sporty graphics that are also appealing. Both bikes have LED indicators mounted on the side fairing. The side fairing of both the bikes are wide, sporty and aerodynamic, and for engine cooling.

a couple of air vents are provided on the side fairing that helps to keep the hot engine away from the rider’s leg and helps them to enjoy a stress-free ride. now I told you that there few changes on both the bikes. like on the right side, the crankcase near the brake pedal BMW is engraved whereas Apache RR 310 comes with the TVS racing engraved on it.

Besides this, the rest of the thing is changed except the chassis and suspension. but Apache gets a petal disc and BMW gets a regular disc. both bikes come with a side stand. and the rest of the things you can see in the images we have shown.

REAR VIEW

Now let’s move on to the rear. there is no change in the design of both bikes. both bikes get LED taillight and turn indicators. and both bikes have tyre huggers. to save you from getting dirty during the rainy season.

SEATS

The seating comfort of both bikes is similar. The rider seat is 811 mm high, so if you are shorter than 5’5″, it may be difficult for you to ride this bike. The pillion seat is set higher and is small, making it not ideal for women and girls.

It is more suitable for boys for short rides with some discomfort. The rider seat, on the other hand, is comfortable and suitable for long rides.

HANDLE BAR & SWITCH GEARS

just like the other things. both the bikes get the same switchgear and handlebar. On the left side switchgear cluster you will get buttons to operate the instrument cluster. besides this, the Horn, Turn indicator, high and low beam and hazard button are there on the same cluster.

Whereas on the right side instrument cluster you will get an engine kill switch. on the other hand clutch and grip are also the same.

TFT Display [Speedometer]

Both bikes have a TFT display but with one small difference: the BMW bike has a BMW welcome animation, while the TVS Apache has a TVS racing animation. Other than that, everything else about the display is the same.

It has 4 modes: Sports, Urban, Rain, and Track. When you change modes, the display layout adjusts to give you a premium bike experience.

BMW G310RR VS Apache RR 310: #Performance Comparision#

The exterior design of the bike is done by the TVS motors whereas the chassis is completely designed by the BMW motors. so both bikes have the same power, mileage, and specs.

ENGINE

Both bikes use a single-cylinder water-cooled, four-valve DOHC 312.12cc engine that pumps 34PS maximum power in track and sports mode and 25.5 PS power in urban and rain mode. and the maximum torque produced by this engine is 27.3 nm. Read More

The unique thing about this engine is its verticle cylinder is tilted slightly backwards as BMW says it helps to reduce the overall wheelbase of the bike. this engine is equipped with Ride-By-Wire technology which means the throttle is not connected to the mechanical butterfly valve on the engine.

It’s connected to the sensors and electrical wires for more precise throttle input. this engine has four valves and DOHC to increase power output and efficiency. besides this, an oil cooler is also added to the engine that cools the engine oil for maximum performance.

It works like an engine coolant with a separate passage pass within the oil cooler which helps to keep the engine oil temperature at the optimum limit.

The engine performs really well in the city you can ride it at low speeds up to 40 km/h in sixth gear as some G310RR owners said. and it also performs well on the highway but above 130 km/h engine does feel stress and vibration can be felt on the fuel tank, handlebar and footpegs.

One more thing you will get is the Apache RR310 with glide-through technology which helps the rider to ride the bike without twisting the throttle but the BMW G 310 RR doesn’t come with it.
