How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard presence, leaning on massive torque from its huge V-twin rather than outright speed.
- Built for
- A big-inch, big-torque American-style cruiser that rewards riders who value laid-back power delivery, chrome styling, and open-road comfort over agility.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking a nimble, flickable bike for tight cornering, commuting through dense city traffic, or any kind of off-road use.
