How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a bold style-first cruiser for boulevard cruising and weekend showing-off rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
- Built for
- A torque-rich, laid-back V-twin cruiser with aggressive custom styling that rewards relaxed throttle-rolling rides over aggressive cornering.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking a nimble, lightweight, or high-revving machine for tight twisties or off-road adventures.
