Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, low-slung custom chopper with an extreme rake angle and minimal cornering clearance.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, head-turning custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show-quality presence rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe stretched-out riding position, wide rear tyre, and rigid or softail chopper frame demand deliberate low-speed handling and reasonable upper body strength for maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA statement machine with a massive 1850cc V-twin rumble, chrome-heavy dragon styling, and a distinctly outlaw custom aesthetic.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a practical daily commuter with easy low-speed handling.
