Features
Highlights for high expectations
Powerful big boxer engine
With a displacement of 1,802 ccm and a maximum torque of 163 Nm, our biggest boxer engine, which is also used in the R 18 Roctane, offers a unique riding experience and packs a hearty punch when you need it.
An imposing 21-inch front wheel
The 21-inch front wheel complements the casual aesthetic of the R 18 Roctane. The quality cast aluminium wheel gives this bike even more heft.
Striking mini ape-hanger
With these handlebars, you have freedom in your grasp. The mini ape-hanger is perfect for tours, and allows for a front wheel-oriented sitting posture. Feels casual – looks cool.
Straight black rear silencer
The impressive boxer sound comes out of the equally impressive dark chrome exhaust system. Its straight design emphasises the horizontal, elongated design lines of the R 18 Roctane.
Round LED headlight
The full LED headlight is integrated into a quality metal housing. The daytime riding lights, adaptive headlight, and optimised low-beam and high-beam headlight ensure a higher level of safety.
Comfortable Dragster seat
The comfortable seat in a Dragster look offers excellent hold when accelerating. It offers excellent seat comfort and supports an upright sitting posture. The footboards provide a comfortable spot to place your feet.
Hard-shell case in a bagger look
A typical bagger feature: the side case. The waterproof hard-shell case with black hinges offers space to store luggage weighing up to 10 kg. Thanks to the toploader design, it is very easy to open.
Nostalgic round instrument speedometer
The classic, analogue round instrument with large, easily legible numbers is integrated into the headlight.
