The leg rest is a common additional feature on a cruiser because it allows you to stretch your legs out now and then.
- Wunderlich’s latest innovations allow you to rest your legs on the BMW R18.
- The leg rest sits above the boxer cylinder heads, away from the engine heat.
Some cruisers allow you to rest your leg on the footboards, or if you don’t have any, the engine guard is probably the next thing you can think of.
Even so, if the cruiser you’re riding has a massive 1,800cc boxer twin (yes, we are referring to the BWM R18), you have absolutely zero space to properly rest your leg during long rides.
However, thanks to Wunderlich’s latest leg rest, you can now safely rest your leg on the cylinder heads of the R18.
Wunderlich’s latest leg rest for the R18 is mounted on three separate points on the boxer engine. Interestingly, it doesn’t need additional support to work but is just a simple plug-and-play.
The leg rest is made from steel tubing and is precisely welded to form a top-quality platform to rest your legs. Also, the component is handmade in Germany and fits the R18 overall aesthetics.
That said, the leg rest sits above the cylinder head, so you wouldn’t suffer so much from the heat coming from the engine.
As for the price, the Wunderlich leg rest will cost you EUR379 (RM1.7k). If it seems pricey, then it is likely you don’t have the BMW R18 in your garage, just like us.
