How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a performance-leaning muscle cruiser for spirited street riding, short blasts, and looking good doing it rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
- Built for
- A punchy, torquey V-twin cruiser with real bite for its class, offering more excitement than a typical laid-back cruiser thanks to its 104hp output and sporty tuning.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting genuine off-road capability, long-haul touring comfort with a passenger, or wind protection on the highway.
