In terms of updates, the 2021 BMW G 310 R comes equipped with a newly designed LED headlamp. It enhances the overall front look of the motorcycle. Also, it has an integrated horizontal LED DRL in the centre which is very similar to what we have seen in the BMW F 900 R. Apart from the new headlight, the 2021 G 310 R also gets stylish LED side turn signals. They look and feel quite premium. BMW Motorrad has also added an adjustable clutch and front brake lever.
