Rider Profile

Best ForThis soft-tail custom cruiser suits riders who already have some experience handling a long, heavy, low-slung V-twin at low speeds.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed boulevard cruising and showing off custom styling rather than for outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe wide 32-degree rake, low seat, and forward-leaning ergonomics reward riders with decent arm strength and comfort in a stretched-out cruiser stance.
CharacterIt has the laid-back, chest-thumping presence typical of an American-style soft-tail custom, with a big lazy V-twin thump and belt-drive smoothness.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.
