How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a bold, low-slung power cruiser meant for relaxed boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- A big-torque V-twin custom cruiser with dramatic styling, a fat 210-section rear tire, and an air-cooled OHV engine that favors laid-back throttle rolls over revving hard.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
