Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine suits an experienced rider comfortable with a long, heavy, low-slung custom cruiser that demands deliberate, confident handling.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, low-volume custom cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and turning heads rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe stretched wheelbase, wide 250-series rear tire, and forward-set custom geometry require deliberate low-speed muscle and reach, favoring taller, stronger riders.
CharacterIt has the presence and attitude of a hand-built American V-twin chopper, with a big-inch engine, belt drive, and aggressive custom styling meant to be seen as much as ridden.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.
