BMW Motorrad has announced two new models in its R 18 cruise line. The new bikes introduced by the company include BMW R 18 B “Bagger” and the BMW R 18 Transcontinental. Originally, the BMW’s R 18 cruiser was launched back in 2020.
The R 18 cruiser line comprises heavy touring-oriented models that rival the likes of offerings from brands such as Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle. These bikes have been designed solely for mile-munching purposes.
Both the bikes differ from each other when it comes to different luggage and front fairing. Other than that, there are other changes as well in the form of 4 analogue gauges with a digital screen on the Transcontinental instead of a single-pod analogue instrument console found on the standard model. The Transcontinental also gets a Marshall co-branded audio system managed through a huge 10.25-inch TFT screen.
Both the newly introduced cruisers benefit from two-way 25W Marshall speakers that come integrated into the bike’s front fairing. When it comes to features, the bikes get three riding modes – Rock, Roll and Rain, whereas the standard rider safety features include Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and engine drag torque control (MSR). Optional bits on the bikes include Reversing aid and Hills Start Control.
While the BMW R 18 B has been announced at $21,495 (approximately ₹ 16 lakh), the BMW R 18 Transcontinental cost $24,995 (approximately ₹ 18.5 lakh), as per the current exchange rate.
