2023 BMW R18 Roctane is a forward-thinking tribute to past motorcycles
and cruise control come standard, and an adaptive LED headlight that takes the lean angle into account is optional.
Power for the Roctane comes from a 1.8-liter air-cooled flat-twin that delivers 91 horsepower at 4,750 rpm and 116 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpm. Known as the Big Boxer, and already found in, it's a surprisingly advanced engine built with a forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and a two-stage oil pump drive by the crankshaft via a chain.
One of the coolest design features — and one of the few parts that's not blacked-out — is the driveshaft visible when you look at the right side of the bike. While most modern motorcycles use a chain or a belt to drive the rear wheel, the R18 Roctane and other members of the R18 family are fitted with an old-school metal driveshaft. It's spun by a six-speed transmission, and a reverse gear driven by an electric motor is offered as an option.
Available now, the BMW R18 Roctane carries a base price of $18,695 excluding destination. Deliveries will start in the third quarter of 2023.
