2024 BMW R 18 Manhattan Metallic Matte

The R 18 invokes our history and the iconic hallmarks of our brand which we have worked very hard on. A legacy that we live by every day in the spirit of #SoulFuel. The result: a cruiser full of character featuring a boxer engine with the highest cubic capacity we have ever built, plus timeless design features.

The flyline is elongated and low. The double-cradle steel frame covers the powerful, sculpted engine that underlines the impressive presence of the bike. Riders also have a number of custom equipment options: the R 18 is scaled back to its core to allow for full customisation.

Features may include:

• Machined engine housing cover

The high-quality Machined engine housing cover made of milled aluminium impressively give the boxer engine an attractive look.

• Footboards

For a relaxed boxer ride experience.

• 2-Tone-Black cylinder head covers

The high-quality 2-Tone-Black cylinder head covers made of milled aluminium perfectly give the boxer engine an attractive appearance.

• Fishtail rear silencer

Its design emphasises the typical cruiser silhouette of the R 18.

• Machined fuel filler cap

The high-quality Machined fuel filler cap made of milled aluminium adds a striking design highlight with its two-tone look.

• Boxer with pushrods

The R stands for boxers and has done so for over 95 years.

• Open drive shaft and double-cradle frame

The open, nickel-plated drive shaft puts the focus on the torque.

• Fork bridge

Clean and authentic in every detail.
