Introducing the 2015 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout, a stunning custom-cruiser that effortlessly embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion synonymous with the Harley brand. With a striking design that commands attention on the road, the Breakout is engineered for those who crave a powerful ride combined with a unique aesthetic. Priced at approximately US$18,599, this model appeals to a diverse range of riders—from seasoned veterans to newcomers looking to make a statement. The Breakout stands out in Harley’s lineup, offering a blend of classic style and modern performance that speaks to the heart of motorcycle enthusiasts. At the core of the Softail Breakout is its robust 1690cc V2 engine, delivering a mighty 75.1 horsepower at 5,000 RPM and a torque-rich 130 Nm at just 3,000 RPM. This powerhouse allows the rider to experience effortless acceleration and a thrilling ride, whether cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets.

The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a belt final drive, enhances the riding experience, providing seamless shifts that keep the power flowing smoothly, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine running cool under pressure. The Breakout isn’t just about raw power; it’s also equipped with features that elevate both comfort and safety. Its low-slung stance, with a seat height of just 660 mm, makes it accessible for a wider range of riders, while the 35-degree rake and 145 mm trail contribute to agile handling. The braking system, featuring a single disc with ABS at the front and a 2-piston setup at the rear, ensures confident stopping power in various conditions. The motorcycle also offers a generous 18.93-litre fuel tank, allowing riders to embark on longer journeys without the need for frequent refueling. With an array of eye-catching color options—including Mysterious Red Candy and Vivid Black—customization is part of the Breakout's allure. **
