How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a boulevard and show-style custom cruiser prioritizing stance and V-twin character over outright performance or practicality.
- Built for
- A laid-back, torque-driven air-cooled V-twin cruiser with a raked-out custom frame, belt final drive, and old-school analog attitude despite its digital tach.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a sporty, quick-revving ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
