Dragstrip
Coolness on two wheels
This equipment visually converts the R 18 into a drag-racing icon. The black drag bar handlebars offer you ultimate control and comfort. The exhaust manifold and sport rear silencer in black lend your machine a powerful look with a sound to match. The black engine protection bar and the cockpit fairing also emphasise the coolness of this equipment specification. The paintwork in Blackstorm metallic accentuates the overall look.
The black drag bar handlebars allow for a low and sporty seat position. In combination with the wide grip position, the handling of the bike becomes tangibly more direct. Moreover, the handlebars give the motorcycle a dynamic, elongated aesthetic.
The dark chrome-plated exhaust system accentuates the boxer sound and makes every ride a visual and audible experience.
The black, high-gloss coated, stainless-steel engine protection bar kit reduces the risk of damage to the motorbike. The bar does not restrict your lean angle, thus ensuring a fun ride. Thanks to the high-gloss coating, the engine protection bar perfectly matches the other black accessories.
The cockpit fairing gives the R 18 an unmistakeable aesthetic. The quality body part with windscreen blends seamlessly into the look of the bike – the perfect upgrade for all those who love the classic BMW style. With two windscreen variants available, every biker can show off their own personal character.
