BMW has unveiled its latest addition to the impressive big-bore cruiser lineup, the BMW R 18 Roctane, marking the fifth member of this esteemed Bavarian brand family. With its enticing features and captivating design, it might just claim the throne as the ultimate R 18 model and catapult itself into the heart of contemporary motorcycle culture.

Pricing for the BMW R 18 Roctane starts at $27,890, excluding on-road costs, positioning it among the prestigious R 18 cruiser series. This new Roctane variant stands alongside the standard R 18, which starts at $24,870 for a rideaway experience. The lineup also includes the R 18 Classic, available from $27,650, the R 18 B priced at $37,950, and the R 18 Trancontinental, starting at $40,115. The Roctane's distinctive styling elements bear a striking resemblance to the long-standing Harley-Davidson Road King, which comes with a price tag of $41,495.

The standard BMW R 18 Roctane comes elegantly adorned in Black Storm Metallic. For those seeking a touch of personalization, there are optional color choices such as Mineral Grey Metallic and Manhattan Metallic Matt, available for an additional $475. In all configurations, the panniers match the body color, while the trusty 1802cc boxer engine retains its classic black finish.

Performance-wise, the BMW R 18 Roctane remains consistent with its siblings in the R 18 series, boasting 67kW of power and 158Nm of torque.

Notable features of the Roctane include keyless ignition, three rider modes, a steering stabilizer, efficient LED lighting, adjustable levers, cruise control, a comfortable one-piece bench seat, and a convenient 12-volt socket.

For riders seeking an enhanced experience, an optional package, available from $3100, includes a lockable fuel cap, hill start control, adaptive headlights, floorboards for added comfort, a practical reverse gear, tire pressure monitoring, and a reliable anti-theft alarm system.
