The Classic Look and Modern Power of the BMW R18

Whether you’re a car enthusiast or a Powersports fan, you know you can trust BMW for almost anything. Their cars epitomize class and luxury, and their motorcycles consistently rank among the world’s best. We’re not surprised that people across New Jersey are always impressed when they see someone driving or riding a BMW.

BMW sets the bar high, and the BMW R 18 Cruiser doesn’t disappoint. With impeccable engineering and a classy retro look, it’s the perfect bike for riders who love the combination of power and aesthetics. Professional racer Roland Sands even designed a special edition of the R18, and the original concept R18 was one of the most impressive prototypes BMW ever released.

The Basics of the BMW R 18 Cruiser

BMW’s 2021 R18 features impressive engineering and design. With BMW’s most massive displacement big boxer engine ever, a double-cradle steel frame, and a fly that’s long and low, they’ve combined the classic roadster design with a powerful engine.

A classic flat twin-engine, the 1,802cc horizontally opposed boxer engine has more displacement than any other BMW boxer engine. Plus, with 91hp at 4,750 rpm and 116 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm, you can count on this bike’s power to go the distance.

Design of the R18

In keeping with the increased popularity of revival cycles, BMW returned to the basics with the 2021 R18 by recreating its first-edition design. Between the white pinstripes and chrome finish, this looks like a retro bike. The double loop steel frame is also an ode to BMW’s classic design. If you want the pop of a modern engine with a 1960s roadster design, look no further than this impressive BMW.

Engineering and Other Features

You know this bike is potent, especially for a cruiser, due to its 91 horsepower big boxer engine. Let’s look a little more closely at the features and power of this incredible machine.

The disc brakes, which consist of a single disc in the rear and twin discs in the front, ensure that the R18 will stop on a dime. ABS comes standard, and features like automatic stability control, reverse assist, adaptive tuning, and hill start control make for a seamless and safe ride. You might not expect bikes in the retro market to have multiple riding modes, but the R18 has three. With Rain, Roll, and Rock modes, you can handle all road and weather conditions.

The incredibly advanced suspension doesn’t disappoint either. Because of the cantilever suspension strut, you’ll have maximum wheel control. The telescopic fork with 1.9-inch sleeves makes for a robust front suspension, and the engine drag torque control will help you out in the slipperiest conditions.
