How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for open-road cruising and long-distance touring rather than quick acceleration or sport riding.
- Built for
- A bold, blacked-out American cruiser with a big-inch V-twin rumble that rewards relaxed, torque-driven riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a light, nimble bike for tight city streets.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
