Benelli Malaysia introduced the new R18i for the Malaysian market.

With starting prices at  RM7,999.00 excluding insurance and road tax, it comes in three colour options, red, black, and blue.  

THe R18i promises riders satisfaction and power with its 174cc four-stroke, four valve engine and matched with a six-speed transmission for more efficient motorway speeds. 

The R18i is manufactured by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd.

The bike is also fitted with an inverted type telescopic fork front suspension which typically only mounted on high-powered motorcycles for more responsive handling feel and equipped with KYB adjustable monoshock rear suspension. 

The Benelli R18i has a 34mm throttle body, a larger size that allows riders to feel an accelerating response and boost overall horsepower.

Also updated on the R18i is a digital LCD speedometer display with a stylish design and shows all the rider’s information. 

The Benelli R18i also uses electronic fuel injection and a TLI ignition system. 

Each tyre uses a single disc with a size of 240mm and 220mm for the front and rear brakes, which offers a greater stopping force and more precise braking.

Weighing 126kg, this Benelli R18i has a fuel tank of 4.8 litres. Riders can travel far enough before refilling the fuel tank.

Buyers of the Benelli R18i will enjoy a two-year manufacturer warranty or travel distance of
20,000 km (whichever comes first) and online spare parts purchase service by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd.
