How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a stylish, low-slung boulevard cruiser and bar-hopper for short, attitude-filled rides rather than any kind of serious performance or distance machine.
- Built for
- A raw, minimalist V-twin chopper with a big 88ci engine, straight-shot Kerker exhaust, and hardtail styling that rewards riders who value looks and sound over comfort or agility.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking comfort, passenger-friendliness, long-distance touring capability, or any off-road or cornering-focused performance.
