In control
The R 18 B’s three riding modes offer you riding pleasure and control as standard, supplemented by Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and dynamic engine brake control (MSR). available Reverse and available Hill Start Control make hill starts easier and add even more convenience. Plus the traditional headlight shape features cutting-edge LED lighting technology. The optional adaptive headlight helps illuminate the road when driving in bends.
