If straight-line speed is your priority, the Breakout takes the lead. With 13 HP more than the R18 Roctane, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Breakout has a clear advantage. Weighing in 65kg less than the R18 Roctane, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Breakout. Its seat height is 55mm lower than the R18 Roctane, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the breakout offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
