The BMW R 18 Roctane

The BMW R 18 Roctane
Be Bold. Ride Bold.

Riding in style and rejecting norms: The BMW R 18 Roctane presents itself exactly as it is. It is our modern take on a custom factory hot rod. Those who ride it don’t care about conventions. Fittingly, there is exclusive, high-class equipment hidden behind the rebellious aesthetic. Maximum comfort, technical highlights, and outstanding ergonomics – everything you would expect from a modern cruiser. Its rebellious heart is the iconic Big Boxer engine, which can pack a unique punch whenever you want to accelerate the fun.
