Rider Profile
| Best For | This chopper is best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, raked-out custom motorcycle with a fat rear tyre and slow steering geometry. |
| Purpose | It's built as a bold, head-turning custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than outright performance or distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | The stretched wheelbase, 38-degree rake, and wide 240mm rear tyre demand deliberate, muscular inputs at low speed and a rider comfortable with a long, low-slung reach to the controls. |
| Character | It has the soul of a defiant American-style custom, all V-twin torque character, flame paint, and chrome, prioritizing attitude and style over agility. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a practical daily commuter with easy low-speed maneuverability. |
