Frequently asked
- What is the seat height of the BMW G310GS?
- The BMW G310GS has a published unladen seat height of 32.9 inches (84 cm). Under your weight the suspension sags roughly 1.6 inch, so the effective height you reach is a little lower.
- Can short riders flat-foot the BMW G310GS?
- You can plant both feet flat on the BMW G310GS from roughly a 30.8-inch inseam, and get the balls of both feet down from about 29.8 inches (in riding boots). Below that you're on tiptoes.
- Can the BMW G310GS be lowered?
- Yes. Off-the-shelf lowering options exist for the BMW G310GS — lowering links, a lower seat, or a suspension lowering kit can typically recover around an inch and a half, often enough to move a tiptoe fit to balls-of-the-feet.
