How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a style-forward custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than outright performance or distance touring.
- Built for
- A raw, air-cooled V-twin chopper with an old-school hardtail-style stance that rewards riders who value looks, sound, and attitude over agility.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or comfortable long-distance touring.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
