2025 BMW R 18 Roctane Dragonfire red metallic

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.

Features may include:

  • Powerful big boxer engine

With a displacement of 1,802 ccm and a maximum torque of 158 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.
