Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable with a rigid-rear, springer-front custom that demands deliberate, low-speed handling skills.
PurposeBuilt as a bold style statement and short-ride cruiser rather than a machine optimized for speed, distance, or practicality.
Rider FitThe low 610mm seat height is approachable, but the rigid rear suspension and long, raked-out stance transmit every bump directly to the rider, demanding tolerance for a stiff, physically taxing ride.
CharacterA hand-built American V-twin bobber with chopper styling, springer forks, drag pipes, and a no-frills rigid rear end that prioritizes attitude and looks over refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking comfort, passenger accommodation, long-distance touring capability, or any form of off-road use.
