The world of custom motorcycling has a new leader, and its name is Zillers Motorcycles. Having been crowned champion at the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building in 2018, Zillers became the first-ever Russian shop to hold the coveted title.
By teaming up with Florida-based bolt-on kit specialist NMoto Studio, this prestigious custom moto outfit is now offering the ultra-cool BMW R18 cruiser. Aa sleek, sci-fi-inspired masterpiece that combines the factory-grade fit and finishes with a stunning array of features, including a carbon fiber tank design, bespoke wheels, and a titanium exhaust system.
The R18 has attracted attention thanks to its awesome air ride suspension system, specially developed by Zillers specifically for the 1,802cc boxer twin engine. This unique system lifts up off the ground when riding and then lowers onto a set of pegs when parked – eliminating the need for a kickstand in an innovative way. But that’s not all - other striking additions include fork covers, machined side engine covers, an exposed drive shaft, and an integrated LED taillight in the custom seat subframe. The bike also sports a flip-up speedometer mounted on its futuristic carbon fiber tank design - making it an eye-catching addition to any vehicle collection worth it's salt.
Limited to just 13 units worldwide, interested parties can order one of these gorgeous beasts as either a bolt-on kit or a complete turnkey bike from $44,900 upwards (depending on specifications). And with both Zillers and NMoto Studios quoting production times of four months for kits and 6 months for turnkey builds, respectively – you could be admiring your own craftily designed beast in no time.
