Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout, a stunning custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of American motorcycle culture. With its bold styling and powerful performance, the Breakout is designed for riders who crave a combination of classic aesthetics and modern engineering. Priced at approximately $19,299 in the U.S. and €21,295 in Europe, this bike is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a statement on two wheels. Whether you’re cruising the open road or showcasing its sleek design at a bike show, the Breakout stands out with its muscular profile and high-quality finishes. At the heart of the Softail Breakout lies a formidable 1690cc V2 engine, delivering a robust 75 horsepower and an impressive torque of 125 Nm at just 3,000 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse is mated to a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox that ensures seamless acceleration and effortless cruising. The electronic sequential port fuel injection system optimizes fuel delivery, resulting in a commendable fuel consumption of 5.60 liters per 100 km (approximately 42 mpg). Riders will appreciate the machine's character, as it combines a satisfying rumble with the responsive power needed for spirited rides. The Breakout’s lightweight frame, weighing in at just 309 kg (681 pounds), enhances its agility, making it a joy to navigate through winding roads and urban environments alike. The 2017 Breakout is not only about performance; it’s also packed with features that enhance the riding experience. The bike's striking design is complemented by a low-slung seat height of 650 mm (25.6 inches), allowing riders to plant their feet firmly on the ground. Safety comes standard with ABS-equipped brakes— a single disc setup at both the front and rear, ensuring confident stopping power. The telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks provide a balanced ride, absorbing bumps while maintaining stability. With a variety of color options, including Velocity Red Sunglo and Hard Candy Hot Rod Red Flake, riders can fully express their individuality, making each Breakout a unique reflection of its owner. **
