2024 BMW R 18 Roctane Mineral Gray Metallic Matte

TOURING WITH HOT-ROD STYLING

The R 18 Roctane. Appearance: Bagger. Comfort: touring motorcycle. Personality: custom factory hot rod. It is driven by the powerful big boxer engine. Ride it and every country road turns into Route 66. Its style is black and matte – that’s what joy can look like. At least for those who bring #SoulFuel to life. Bagger outline, dragster seat and mini ape-hanger demonstrate that this is not an ordinary bike. Want even more rock 'n' roll? The bike is ready for customizing. All you need to do is own it!

More than a bike – your statement

The iconic front with round LED headlight and 21-inch cast aluminum wheel leads the way towards the horizon. You casually grip the mini ape-hanger and rest your feet on the standard footboards, while the dragster seat gives you support on long tours. The elongated bagger outline flows straight to the stylish rear end, featuring hard-shell cases. This bike is an eye-catcher. Unmistakable: the unique boxer sound from the striking, dark chrome rear exhaust.

Features may include:

• Powerful big boxer engine

With a displacement of 1,802 cc and a peak torque of 116 lbs-ft, our largest boxer engine also lends the R 18 Roctane a unique riding experience and a respectable thrust when you need it.

• Impressive 21-inch front wheel

The 21-inch front wheel emphasizes the appearance of the R 18 Roctane. The high-quality, cast aluminum wheel gives this bike its presence.

• Striking mini ape-hanger

The mini ape-hanger is ideal for touring, enabling a front-wheel-oriented seating position.

• Black, straight rear exhaust

The impressive boxer sound originates from the equally impressive exhaust system in dark chrome. Its straight shape underscores the horizontal, elongated design line of the R 18 Roctane.

• Round LED headlight

The full LED headlight has been integrated into a high-quality metal housing. An available cornering light as well as optimized low beam and high-beam headlights add visibility.

• Comfortable dragster seat

The comfortable, dragster-style seat provides support when accelerating. It offers a high level comfort and support in an upright seating position when you rest your feet on the floorboards.

• Hard-shell cases

Water-resistant hard-shell cases with black hinges offer space for up to 22 lbs of luggage. Their top-loading design makes them easy to open.

• Traditional round dial speedometer

The analog, traditionally shaped round dial with large, easy-to-read digits has been integrated into the headlight.
