The first bar made of 32 mm
tube! We decided on this tube dimension for two reasons: for strength
reasons, in order to optimally protect the R 18, and for aesthetic
reasons. Because only the 32 mm tube looks balanced and aesthetic on the
imposing R 18 - and in the surroundings of the mighty manifold tubes.
In addition, we deliberately decided on a closed, one-piece shape for
the protective bar, which, apart from its dimensions, contributes
additional constructive rigidity. In this way, the high-quality
protection bar blends discreetly into the overall style of the R 18 and
yet sets a coordinated accent of its own. It is no coincidence that the
spade-shaped design is reminiscent of the guards on the classic
air-cooled BMW boxers.
The engine protection bar is solidly
supported at six selected points. The lower braces, which are hinged to
the frame beams, have been discreetly positioned by our designers so
that they do not catch the eye and do not interfere with the overall
line. The multi-point mounting ensures that the forces introduced in the
event of a fall or fall-over do not occur and act at a single point,
but are absorbed via the protective bar over all 6 mounting points. The
punctual stress due to force or moment peaks is thus significantly
reduced.
