Overview

Introducing the 2018 BMW R nineT Scrambler, a motorcycle that perfectly encapsulates the retro-modern aesthetic and spirited performance that enthusiasts crave. Positioned within the naked bike category, the R nineT Scrambler is a nod to BMW's rich heritage while embracing contemporary engineering and design. It appeals to riders looking for a blend of style, versatility, and that unmistakable boxer engine rumble. With its rugged styling and functional features, this model invites riders to explore both urban landscapes and off-road trails with confidence. At the heart of the R nineT Scrambler lies a powerful 1170 ccm boxer twin engine, delivering a robust 110 horsepower and a torque of 116 Nm at 6000 RPM. This potent combination translates into exhilarating acceleration and an impressive top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), making every ride a thrilling experience. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a shaft drive, ensures smooth power delivery and effortless gear changes, while the oil and air cooling system maintains optimal performance even on the hottest days. Riders will appreciate the bike's fuel efficiency, boasting a consumption rate of just 5.00 litres/100 km, allowing for longer adventures with fewer stops at the pump. The R nineT Scrambler is not just about power; it’s also packed with features designed for an enhanced riding experience. The four-section frame, which includes a load-bearing engine-gearbox unit, provides both stability and agility, while the removable pillion frame allows for a streamlined solo ride. The front and rear suspension systems, featuring telescopic forks and the BMW Motorrad Paralever, offer a comfortable ride over rough terrain, with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping to cater to individual preferences. Safety is paramount, and the double disc front brakes paired with ABS ensure confident stopping power, whether navigating through city traffic or tackling winding country roads. **
