If straight-line speed is your priority, the Low Rider ST takes the lead. With 23 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 Low Rider ST has a clear advantage. Weighing in 51kg less than the R18 Roctane, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the low-rider offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
