• Pros & Cons

  Pros	Powerful 1252cc Revolution Max engine (120 hp, 125 Nm) Surprisingly agile and fun handling for a cruiser Advanced electronics including ride modes, traction control, and TFT display Modern design with strong road presence Lightweight feel compared to traditional Harleys	Thunderous V4 performance - 168 hp engine delivers superbike-like acceleration and strong torque Surprisingly agile handling for a power cruiser, feels closer to a naked sportbike Loaded with advanced electronics including ride modes, traction control, launch control, and quickshifter Comfortable riding ergonomics for long-distance cruising Distinctive design and road presence with premium build quality
  Cons	Small 11.8-litre fuel tank limits range Firm suspension reduces comfort on bad roads Ground clearance is low (~90 mm), can scrape Expensive for the segment Not a traditional Harley feel (may not suit purists)	Very expensive to buy and maintain Heat management issues in city traffic Heavy and bulky, not ideal for daily commuting or tight spaces Fat rear tyre affects ride compliance on uneven roads Not for everyone niche appeal due to its unique cruiser-sportbike character
