The Roctane handlebars have different geometry from stock R18 base. Was wondering if they reach back further or are they just a variation of the bars BMW calls “mini apes”?

Roctane handlebars

I’ve got both, what exactly are you after? The standard seat on the Roctane is much more padded than the standard R18 so you sit noticeably higher in the bike and the raised handlebars (mini apes) compliment that. It’s a very comfortable riding position (for me). If you wanted to loosen the ape bar clamps and rotate the bars backwards towards yourself you could but only so far because the angle of the grip would become uncomfortable for your wrist at some point. I’m 5’11” btw.
