• Low Muscular Profile

With its big, bold stance, the Breakout® motorcycle makes a powerful impact even standing still. Its pure, clean lines, low-slung profile, stretched stance, big wheels and chopped fenders all shout premium custom, solid power and look at me attitude, even as its performance makes it your choice who gets to stare and for how long before you disappear.

• Twin Cam 103™ Engine Power

Live your ride to the power of Twin Cam 103™. The air cooled Twin Cam 103™ Harley-Davidson® engine delivers more stump pulling torque, while its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection jetting gives crisp, lively throttle reaction. It’s a performance punch you’ll appreciate when passing, climbing hills, or just catching eyes as you cruise by—all under that signature Motor Company rumble. And it comes at lower cruising rpm, so you ride more smoothly, with less engine vibration and better highway fuel economy.

You may be cruising with swagger, but you know safety counts. This sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives stopping power a double meaning. Its components are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so youll still turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bikes going to behave when you need it.

• Balanced Suspension & Handling

The Breakout® model may be a big bold bike with a powerful stretched stance, but its definitely not just for show. We carefully balanced and damped its suspension to give it a neutral feel—even with those big, wide tires—and engineered it for lightness, for an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The bottom line? A smooth, fun ride whether roaring from stoplight to stoplight or winding along country roads.
