Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big, heavy custom cruiser best suited to riders who already have experience handling long, low, weighty machines at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a boulevard and show-style cruiser, its aggressive 45-degree rake and fat 250mm rear tire prioritize style and presence over outright performance or cornering ability.
Rider FitRiders should be comfortable with a long wheelbase, wide rear tire, and substantial dry weight of over 260 kg, which demands confident low-speed balance and strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterIt suits a laid-back rider who values custom aesthetics, torquey V-twin character, and a relaxed cruising demeanor over speed or agility.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.
