The BMW G310R and G310GS are among the most popular entry-level and commuter bikes on the market today — light, agile, and surprisingly capable. But out of the box, a few things hold them back for shorter riders and performance-focused riders alike: the seat height, stock foot peg position, and lever feel. Bestem USA now stocks a complete CNC upgrade kit for both the G310R and G310GS to address all three.

The Three Upgrades
Bestem's G310 CNC parts are precision-machined from 7075 billet aluminum, the same alloy grade used in aerospace and motorsport applications. All three parts are direct bolt-on replacements for OEM components — no cutting, no welding, no permanent modification to the bike.
Lowers the G310R and G310GS by 1.5 inches. Machined from 7075 billet aluminum with all mounting hardware included. Ideal for riders under 5’8” or anyone who wants more confidence at stops.
Adjustable CNC billet aluminum rearsets for the G310R and G310GS. Repositions foot peg placement for a more aggressive or comfortable riding position. All hardware included.

Why 7075 Billet Aluminum?
Not all CNC parts are made equal. The alloy grade matters significantly. Bestem's G310 parts use 7075 aluminum — one of the strongest aluminum alloys available, with a tensile strength comparable to mild steel at roughly one-third the weight. It's the same material specification used in aircraft structural components, mountain bike frames, and high-end motorcycle racing hardware.
Most budget CNC parts use 6061 aluminum, which is significantly softer and more prone to bending under load. The difference isn't visible to the eye, but it shows up over time in wear patterns, thread integrity, and overall structural confidence.
| Property | 7075 Aluminum (Bestem) | 6061 Aluminum (Budget) |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ~83,000 psi | ~45,000 psi |
| Yield Strength | ~73,000 psi | ~40,000 psi |
| Weight | Lightweight | Lightweight |
| Common Use | Aerospace, motorsport, premium CNC | General fabrication, brackets |
| Longevity | High wear resistance | Softer, shows wear sooner |
Lowering Link Installation Overview
The installation video above covers the full process, but here's a summary of what's involved for the lowering link. No specialized tools are required beyond a basic socket set.
Place the G310R or G310GS on a center stand or paddock stand. The rear suspension needs to hang freely during removal.
Locate the rear suspension linkage rod. Remove the single bolt that connects it to the frame-side anchor point. This is the link you're replacing.
Drop in the Bestem CNC lowering link in place of the OEM piece. All supplied hardware installs with the bolts and spacers included in the kit.
Torque all fasteners to BMW's specified values. Set the rear preload and check static sag — the lowered geometry will change how preload feels, so a quick sag check is recommended after installation.
"The lowering link is a 30-minute install that makes the G310 accessible to a much wider range of riders — without changing the handling character of the bike."
Compatible Models
All three products are compatible with both the BMW G310R (naked roadster) and the BMW G310GS (adventure variant). Fitment covers current production years. If you're unsure which variant of the G310 you have, check the VIN plate on the frame — R variants have a standard sport geometry, GS variants sit taller from the factory and benefit most from the lowering link.
