This combination offers a unique emotional driving experience with the model featuring a cleverly styled design language with an aerodynamically sculpted rear section.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the new BMW R 18 Roctane is the familiar 2-cylinder flat twin engine, the so-called &#8220;big boxer&#8221;. Not only because of its impressive appearance, but also thanks to its technical specifications, the engine of the new R 18 Roctane is reminiscent of the traditional air-cooled boxer engines. It has a capacity of 1,802 cc and produces 91 hp at 4,750 rpm. From 2,000 to 4,000 rpm it delivers more than 150 Nm of torque at all times.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10998 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"803\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-4-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The suspension of the new BMW R 18 Roctane deliberately lacks electronic adjustment options. Instead, the telescopic fork and a centrally mounted suspension knee with travel-dependent damping and adjustable spring preload ensure excellent control and riding comfort.<\/p>\n<p>The braking system of the new BMW R 18 Roctance consists of two disc brakes at the front and one at the rear, combined with four-piston fixed calipers.

The tall, black-coated steering wheel ensures an upright and relaxed driving position.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10992\" src=\"https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-11-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"686\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-11-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/BMW-Moto-11-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The new R 18 Roctane is painted black as standard.
