2025 R 18 Transcontinental

Description

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 paint options. When touring, it doesn’t get any more stylish than this. Nor any more comfortable in our opinion. With its high-end technology, it is perfectly equipped for traveling in style.


Welcome to First Class

With a large fender and a prominent front end, it exudes a sense of size and sophistication – the miles seem to fly by effortlessly. The 6.3 gallon tank, the wind deflectors, and the floorboards show: the R 18 Transcontinental allows for stylish and casual travel. The high-quality topcase with a backrest makes the experience even more comfortable for your passenger.

Highlights for modern travel

Comfortable handling, exclusive equipment, and high-end technology: the R 18 Transcontinental has everything you would expect from a BMW bike. The highlights include, for example, the 180-watt booster of the optional Marshall Gold Series Stage 2, the large TFT display, and the wind deflectors, which are attached to the engine protection bars.

Eating up the miles

Hop on and ride: the R 18 Transcontinental offers high level of comfort and control. The standard and optional equipment features are intended to help you to maintain your distance or speed, and can offer assistance on hills or when reversing. The optional central locking system for the case and topcase is not only practical, but also offers protection for the things that are important to you when you’re on the road.

Impressive power

Even when only starting it up, you can understand how the big boxer earned its name. The 1,802-cc engine offers 91 hp at 4,750 rpm. With its typical boxer power development you can rely on at least 110 lb-ft of torque  between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. The powerful torque and excellent responsiveness provide an enjoyable ride over long distances – relaxed, but never monotonous.
