BMW Concept Stunt G 310 Revealed

The BMW Concept Stunt G 310, no doubt looks aggressive and the newly developed 1-cylinder engine allows for very compact proportions thanks to its innovative concept. The special feature is the cylinder which is inclined towards the rear and the cylinder head which is rotated by 180 degrees. This permits optimum placement of the engine in the motorcycle and a short wheelbase in spite of the long swinging arm thereby making the motorcycle very agile.

We can see the low-slung front and the raised tail section which will help it be fast and agile to change direction as well as being quick on its feet. By shifting the intake area towards the front while also moving the exhaust system towards the rear it was possible to place the rear silencer in an upright position underneath the seat between the engine and the spring strut. In this way the silencer is optimally protected and does not limit the stunt rider's freedom of movement.

Even though you may hardly see it, you will not overhear it. Once started, the sound of the BMW Concept Stunt G 310 is sure to attract attention. The numerous modifications are typical for a stunt bike and it was Chris Pfeiffer who helped the BMW Motorrad Design Team to achieve this goal.

The lockable throttle ensures constant propulsion even when the rider's hand has to let go of the throttle grip. In addition a slightly altered gear ratio secures greater propulsive force to the rear wheels at low engine speeds while the intentionally oversized rear wheel brake ensures reliable deceleration in every situation. A second, even larger rear wheel brake allows the rider to brake the rear wheel using only his middle finger, in case his right foot is not on the footrest in certain stunts.

The additional brake lever is specially placed on the left side of the handlebars and can even be operated at the same time as the clutch. So-called axle pegs on the front axle and in the seat area give the rider additional options for placing his feet which go way beyond the possibilities offered by normal foot rests. The distinctive red crash bars provide additional protection for the engine.

A special highlight on the BMW Concept Stunt G 310 is the "stunt tail" which was specifically developed by BMW Motorrad and which has not been seen in this shape on a stunt bike. It is milled from solid aluminium and features an opening in the centre, which offers the stunt rider a hold for his foot. Together with the non-slip seat, the aluminium component also ensures a stable seating position when riding thanks to its shape.

The graphics on the bike are the classic BMW motorsport colour with the national colours of the Brazilian flag in a modern interpretation. Edgar Heinrich, Head of BMW Motorrad Design sums it up saying, "The BMW Concept Stunt G 310 is a real eye-catcher. Everything on this concept seems to be shouting out to ride it and defy the laws of gravity."
