How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for boulevard cruising and making a bold visual statement rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- A muscular, iconic cruiser with a fat rear tire stance, strong low-end torque, and unmistakable classic Harley presence.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, agile everyday commuter.
