Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a rigid-framed, no-frills custom bobber and its unconventional handling quirks.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish, low-slung boulevard cruiser and bar-hopper for short, attitude-filled rides rather than any kind of serious performance or distance machine.
Rider FitThe hardtail rear end with no rear suspension means every bump is felt directly, so riders need tolerance for a stiff, jarring ride and a long-legged, laid-back seating position.
CharacterA raw, minimalist V-twin chopper with a big 88ci engine, straight-shot Kerker exhaust, and hardtail styling that rewards riders who value looks and sound over comfort or agility.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking comfort, passenger-friendliness, long-distance touring capability, or any off-road or cornering-focused performance.
