Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who understand the unique low-speed handling demands of a raked-out chopper.
PurposeBuilt as a bold custom show-and-go cruiser, it's meant for making a visual statement and enjoying straight-line power more than for practical transportation.
Rider FitThe extreme 42-degree rake and wide 300mm rear tire demand strong, deliberate steering input and confident low-speed balance, especially at a stop or in tight maneuvers.
CharacterIt suits a rider with a bold, individualistic style who values dramatic custom aesthetics and thunderous V-twin torque over nimble handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a comfortable long-distance touring companion.
