BMW Motorrad Malaysia will also preview one-of-a-kind offerings here

BMW Motorrad Malaysia will introduce the latest powerhouse in its iconic Heritage line-up, the BMW R 18 Roctane, at the BMW Premium Selection (BPS) showcase, happening from 1 to 3 March 2024 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

Retro Inspiration

The New BMW R 18 Roctane draws inspiration from iconic BMW models like the BMW R 5, prioritising the fundamental elements of motorcycling, pure, no-frills technology centred around the boxer engine, which has long been the heart of BMW Motorrad’s riding joy.

The chassis of the new BMW R 18 Roctane is built upon a double-loop tubular steel frame, a hallmark of BMW Motorrad’s design tradition, where every weld and connection speaks to the dedication to quality. Akin to the legendary BMW R 5, the rear swinging arm envelops the rear axle drive in a timeless fashion.

Innovative Features

The New BMW R 18 Roctane also boasts well-balanced ergonomics with the presence of a “mid-mounted foot peg” configuration and a two-level seat, as well as updated running boards, gearshift paddle, and high handlebars coated in sleek black, showcasing every element being crafted to ensure comfort and control on the asphalt.

The New BMW R 18 Roctane arrives in Mineral Grey Metallic as well as Manhattan Metallic Matt, two distinct colourways that celebrate its rebellious character. At the heart of the bike sits the traditional air-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine, the largest boxer engine of the proud Heritage line-up.

More Power

With a commanding engine capacity of 1,802 cc, it also stands as the most powerful 2-cylinder boxer engine ever produced in BMW Motorrad’s proud Heritage line-up, delivering an output of 67 kW (91HP) at 4,750 rpm and a peak torque of 150 Nm.

Riding assistance features for the New BMW R 18 Roctane come in the form of Automatic Stability Control (ASC), along with three standard riding modes – Rock, Roll and Rain, for a fully personalised riding experience. The estimated pricing for the New BMW R 18 Roctane is RM160,000.
