When it comes to motorcycle audio, one brand is king – DS18. #TEAMDS18 is a family, bound together by our dedication to pushing the limits of audio excellence. Each member of our team brings a unique set of skills and expertise, from engineering and design to installation and tuning. We live and breathe audio, constantly striving to deliver the best sound experience possible. #TEAMDS18 recently had the opportunity to demo some of our heavy hitting bike audio systems at the prestigious Baggers Audio Competition at Baggers Nationals.
This highly-anticipated event brings together the most talented audio enthusiasts from around the world, all vying for the chance to prove their worth and take home the gold. Although we weren’t competing, longtime friend and member of #TEAMDS18 Hector decided to – we demoed some amazing vehicles that ended up playing huge roles in creating the audio experience of a lifetime.
Preparing for the competition
Months of rigorous preparation went into our performance at Baggers Nationals. As one of the main sponsors of the event, we knew we had to make a statement. Our dedication was evident from the very beginning - starting with our exclusive DS18 Bike ramp adorned with our logos, where all motorcycles had to drive up to enter the building. The sight of our sponsored ramp, was truly heartwarming - it even gave us goosebumps.
Upon entering the building, attendees were greeted with a grand hall where only the most outstanding bikes had the opportunity to be part of the demo and show. As vendors, we ensured our presence was felt throughout, showcasing our passion for audio excellence in every aspect of the event.
The customized bikes
One of the key factors that set #TEAMDS18 apart from the competition was our stunning array of customized bikes, specially tailored for the Bagger Nationals. Each bike was a work of art, designed to not only look incredible but also provide the ideal platform for our cutting-edge audio systems:
-
THE TOXIC TEAL – adorned with its exclusive namesake color, was a sight to behold. Its bespoke aesthetics, comprised of top-tier components and limited availability, elevated it to the pinnacle of luxury in the biking realm. Renowned for its classic Road King design, this limited-production touring motorcycle had undergone a complete transformation by the DS18 team. From its iconic pillion to saddlebags, every detail was perfect, making it a true standout at the Bagger Nationals
-
Behold the Powerhouse – With its streamlined design, the Powerhouse Bike dominated the Bagger Nationals' asphalt. A proud member of DS18's EXTREMELY LOUD arsenal, it unleashed a symphony of sound that left spectators awestruck. Fueled by G Series Amplifiers, it seamlessly fused raw power with pristine clarity, delivering an adrenaline-pumping auditory sensation. Boasting cutting-edge technology and deluxe features, it set a new standard for audio excellence, establishing itself as an undisputed force on the Bagger Nationals battleground.

The heart and soul of our performance at the Baggers Audio Competition was, of course, our sound system. We spared no expense in creating a setup that would blow the judges and spectators away. Our audio innovation was on full display, with state-of-the-art components and precise tuning that delivered a sound experience like no other. The build quality of our systems was second to none, with attention to detail and craftsmanship that set us apart from the competition.
Teamwork and dedication: Key factors in #TEAMDS18's success
Only the elite stand a chance at Baggers, and this year was no exception. As proud sponsors of the extreme category, we were granted a front-row seat to witness the spectacle unfold. The intensity was palpable as these extraordinary motorcycles vied for the coveted Baggers National belt. It's a testament to the caliber of the event that such fierce competition can unfold in just a single day. Yet, as we soaked in the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere, we couldn't help but ponder: Shouldn't an event of this magnitude be extended with additional categories like show and shine or awards for the best bikes? Things like this could draw even more remarkable baggers to the forefront.
Amidst this backdrop of fervent competition, #TEAMDS18's synergy and unwavering dedication shone brightly. Our perfect audio experience was fueled by a shared passion for excellence, each team member contributing their expertise to the cause. From the visionary designers who sculpted our custom bikes to the meticulous installers and tuners who breathed life into our audio systems, every individual played an integral role in our success.
The Baggers Audio Competition was a rollercoaster of emotions, punctuated by the LOUDEST moments. From the instant we graced the stage, we sensed something extraordinary unfolding. The roar of the crowd reverberated through our veins, propelling us forward with unwavering determination. With each chord strummed and engine revved, we felt the collective energy surge around us.
