The new R 18 Roctane joins the R 18, R 18 Classic, R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental as the fifth member of the R 18 family. Once again, it harkens back to the history and tradition of BMW Motorrad and combines cutting-edge technology in the world of motorcycles with the design and charm of bygone eras.<\/p>\n

Both technically and visually, the BMW R 18 borrows elements from famous BMW models such as the BMW R 5, again focusing on the basic elements of the bike: Sleek looks, with technology of substance and with the boxer engine at the heart of driving pleasure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through the marriage of classic design and modern, no-frills technology, an exciting overall philosophy is created. 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

At the heart of the new BMW R 18 Roctane is the familiar 2-cylinder flat twin engine, the so-called “big boxer”. 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>\n

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

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 front rim dimension is 3.5 x 21″ and the tyre is 120\/70 B 21, while the rear is 5.5 x 18″ and 180\/55 B 18.<\/p>\n

The R 18 Roctane has a two-tiered saddle that tapers towards the rear, with straps for the passenger, and is equipped with running boards in combination with a gear lever. The tall, black-coated steering wheel ensures an upright and relaxed driving position.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

The new R 18 Roctane is painted black as standard. Three riding modes as well as ASC and MSR systems are standard equipment and ensure a high level of driving comfort.<\/p>\n
