How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-haul highway touring with a bagger-style blend of cruiser attitude and built-in luggage capacity.
- Built for
- Appeals to riders who want a stripped-down, blacked-out American V-twin cruiser with big-mile capability but minimal chrome or flash.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for quick urban maneuvering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
