How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- This is a classic American-style cruiser built for relaxed boulevard riding and highway cruising rather than outright speed or sport handling.
- Built for
- A big-torque V-twin cruiser with a shaft drive and classic styling, it rewards a laid-back riding style with a strong, steady pull rather than a rev-happy sporting temperament.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
