2025 BMW R 18 B Dragonfirerot metallic

A bagger with a high-class attitude

The BMW R 18 B is the modern interpretation of a typical bagger. The authentic style is defined by the permanently installed cases. Extroverted riders can masterfully set the scene with extravagant paintwork. The iconic big boxer delivers in every situation, and puts you right at the heart of a unique lifestyle. The comfortable seat with a modern design is perfect for endless cruising. The R 18 B has a strong lead when it comes to matters of comfort and technology. There’s no looking back. Welcome to the here and now.

Features may include:

  • Smooth travels with Active Cruise Control

Three letters, a big boost to safety: With the new ACC, your bike automatically maintains your desired speed and, via a radar sensor, a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

  • Cases

The permanently installed cases provide a capacity of 27 litres each. Their perfect shape has been integrated into the R 18 B’s streamlining outline: for that typical, unmistakeable bagger look. The perfectly coordinated liners made of a sophisticated leather and canvas material mix are available as part of the accessories range.

  • Cockpit

Four traditional, analogue round instruments come together with a modern 10.25” TFT display: from fuel level indicator to map navigation, you always have all the information available at a glance.

  • Power Reserve

See what you can feel: the classic analogue round instrument shows the power reserves available to you.

  • TFT display

The 10.25” TFT colour display offers you perfectly legible data and maximum functionality as well as information.

  • The boxer engine

We build it with conviction and plenty of passion. Power, endurance, reliability – simply put: a very special boxer experience.
