Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy, long, low-slung custom cruisers and their relaxed but deliberate steering.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a boulevard cruiser and style statement rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe tall 21-inch front wheel, stretched 34-degree rake, and roughly 272 kg dry weight demand confident low-speed handling and some upper-body strength at a stop.
CharacterA big V-twin custom cruiser with handcrafted styling that rewards laid-back, unhurried riding over twisty-road aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.
