The stylish way to travel

Wherever it goes, it is the focal point. The BMW R 18 Transcontinental is a modern interpretation of a classic, with an imposing appearance, striking design, and exclusive equipment. Powered by a big boxer engine, it offers a uniquely confident riding experience – unmistakeable sound included. If you prefer an even bolder look, you’ll surely enjoy the extroverted paintwork options. When touring, it doesn’t get any more stylish than this. Nor any more comfortable. With its high-end technology, it is perfectly equipped for travelling in style.

Features may include:

  • Power Reserve

Convenient, luxurious and consistent: the Power Reserve display of the R 18 Transcontinental shows how much power you still have available.

  • Marshall Gold Series Stage 2

The powerful 180 watt booster powers a total of six speakers: for maximum sound quality and absolute audio pleasure.

  • Cockpit

Four traditional, analogue round instruments combine with one modern 10.25” TFT display: from the fuel level indicator to the navigation system and your playlist, it always provides you with all the information at a glance.

  • Smooth travels with Active Cruise Control

Three letters, a big boost to safety: With the new ACC, your bike automatically maintains your desired speed and, via a radar sensor, a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

  • Passenger seat

The particularly comfortable seat’s passenger seat features seat heating as standard and offers outstanding stability. The backrest has been seamlessly integrated into the adjacent topcase.

  • TFT display

Plenty of space for plenty of information. From map navigation to vehicle data and your playlist: easily keep an eye on everything thanks to the 10.25” TFT display.

  • Front trim panel

The front trim panel that has been installed on the handlebars provides you with ideal protection from the elements in conjunction with the tall windscreen. The two LED additional headlights remain true to the original style and perfectly integrate into the R 18 Transcontinental’s lines to lend it an unmistakeable look.
