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
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)
