R18 Transcontinental has been introduced by BMW Motorrad in India. Priced at Rs. 31.50 lakh, the motorcycle (ex-showroom).
The BMW R18 cruiser is available in three different models: R18, R18 Classic, and the R18 Transcontinental, which has cast alloy wheels, a big handlebar-mounted fairing with a windscreen, wind deflectors, and a seat for the passenger.
The R18 Transcontinental was created to be a replica of the traditional American touring bike. It has a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with double pinstripes, circular mirrors, and an exposed gloss nickel-plated driveshaft. It is built on a twin cradle frame.

Rain, Roll, and Rock are the three normal riding modes for the bike. In addition, the vehicle has a 10.25-inch TFT colour display, Active Cruise Control, Automated Stability Control, Dynamic Engine Brake Control, Hill Start Control, Keyless Ride, and adaptable LED headlights.
With travel-dependent damping and adjustable spring preload, the Transcontinental’s directly mounted cantilever suspension strut is equipped. It comes with a single disc brake in back and dual disc brakes up front.
