BMW R18 Trike 2026 has become a topic of excitement among motorcycle fans around the world. Though BMW Motorrad has not officially confirmed a trike version for 2026 in press releases, many riders imagine a three-wheel cruiser based on the popular R18 lineup. The original R18 platform is known for its classic cruiser styling and strong performance, making it a perfect base for a potential trike model in the future.
First Look
One of the biggest attractions of the BMW R18 Trike 2026 would be its bold and muscular design. Imagine the front end keeping the classic R18 cruiser look — a large fuel tank, chrome-rich details, and a low-slung seat but with a wide rear end and two wheels at the back. This three-wheel format would give it a unique stance and a strong road presence.
Powerful Engine
At the heart of the R18 family is a big 1,802 cc boxer twin engine known for its smooth power and deep torque feel. In the R18 Transcontinental and other R18 models, this engine makes about 91 hp and 158 Nm of torque, delivering effortless cruising power on highways and city roads alike.
Advanced Features & Smart Technology
A possible R18 Trike 2026 would come with modern technology alongside classic looks:
- Active Cruise Control and ABS to make long rides safer and more enjoyable — features already available on R18 Transcontinental.
- Hill Start Control and stability systems to help manage the extra weight and balance of a three-wheeler.
- Connectivity and navigation through a large screen or gadget support, making long trips easier.
Smart tech like keyless start, LED lights, and possibly a larger dashboard display would add to comfort and control, making the R18 Trike feel both classic and cutting-edge.
Price
Since BMW’s R18 Transcontinental is priced around $35,899 in India (ex-showroom), it’s fair to assume that any future R18 Trike model would be priced higher due to its added engineering and parts.
