With the RockBob, BMW accessories specialist Wunderlich has presented a concept bike based on the BMW R 18. A minimalist design has been radically implemented.
Wunderlich has created a minimalist bobber out of the cruiser, but they didn’t just leave things out, the detail solutions make a big difference. At the clean rear, the fender nestles around the rear wheel like a second skin, as the distance between them has been reduced to the bare minimum. The license plate holder has been placed on the left side. You really have to search for the 3-in-1 taillights, as long as they are off. The lights are extremely small and have been incorporated into the seat. Under the ride, in the illuminated state, they can be seen by other road users very well.
Almost completely black
The RockBob is almost completely black, the exhaust system was specially coated with a heat-resistant ceramic coating. The engine was painted black. In addition to the matte black, double lines in a gloss black were applied to the tank and fenders. Only the seat and grips are in a cognac tone. The spring saddle is adjustable and the genuine leather has diamond-shaped stitching.
At the end of the handlebar grips are also turn signals and mirrors. Chromed series applications or plastic parts was replaced by milled parts.
Individually or as a package
Wunderlich offers the parts complete but also individually, where you do not have to worry about a road approval. All parts are legal for the road and can be mounted without flexing or welding. Even a complete rebuild to original condition is possible at any time with the parts from Wunderlich.
