How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a bold, low-slung American custom cruiser meant for style-driven boulevard and highway cruising rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a defiant, chrome-heavy American original, with a big air-cooled V-twin thump and a stripped-down soft-style frame that prioritizes attitude over agility.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride through tight city traffic.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
