How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a classic mid-size V-twin cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding and moderate-distance touring rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- Delivers the easygoing, torque-driven V-twin character typical of Intruder-style cruisers, with a laid-back exhaust burble and steady, unhurried acceleration.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or genuine high-speed sport performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
