The Breakout is a modern expression of hard rock, strength bracelets, groaning metal and muscular ankles. Masculine as well as slender, powerful in style, he immediately attracted strong sympathy. And it should take a new turn with this greatly revamped opus. Equipped with the very latest Milwaukee 8 engine, the Breakout 1745 cm3 / 107 ci gains strength and roughness. The workouts have paid off, and the biceps are protruding.
Harley could have been content to cram the new Big Twin and basta. Except that this “Gasser” likes cosmetics, the winks in front of nightclubs and the jaws in the suits of the day. As it evolves, the Breakout trades its headlight for a Daymaker LED model, puts its mirrors and triple trees in black, angles its rear fender brackets, doubles the sticks of its rims … and grafts a digital display in instead of a traditional needle counter. Shock insured.
The tank has been remodeled, gaining in ilk and shedding a few liters in the process. Now, the exhausts no longer follow each other but overlap. Thus prepared, the Breakout 2 asserts a new face, discreetly suggesting much more than we see. And it’s the chassis that benefits.
The MoCo gives the Softail frame a hell of a makeover, arguably the most important since the creation of this family of machines. Always this Hardtail aspect with a total overhaul of the structure. Half the parts to build it, 22% less welds, and 65% more stiffness. Once all the peripherals are placed on it, the overall improvement in stiffness is 34%. This should significantly limit the flexible moods of the chassis in serious conditions. Not to mention the benefit of weight, which reaches 5.89 kilos on this chassis. Harley is proud to announce that this custom has lost no less than 17 kilos. Sacred job !
A revamped framework is good. Adequate suspensions are even better. The Breakout borrows the double-acting valve fork that appeared on Touring models in 2017. Offering improved and more responsive damping, it is backed up by a revised caster angle and stroke for more maneuverability. Finally, a new mono-shock gives concrete form to a completely redesigned rear suspension, improving all the dynamics of the motorcycle. We appreciate the presence of an easily accessible dial for adjusting the preload.
The high point of this evolution highlights the twin of 1745 cm3. Inaugurated on the big tourers, it now comes to practice on the Softail. Sporting the best of Harley, with increased displacement, 4 valves per cylinder, a stumbling torque of almost 15 mkg and reduced vibrations, this block allows a gain of 10% on the 0 to 100 km / h compared to the old one Twin Cam. And in use, it only offers enchantment.
The Breakout is forging stripes on its identity. Better suspended, more rigorous, better motorized, more vindictive, the machine exerts even more a certain magnetism. A marked step in the 21st century, with the taste of the great period of the 20th century. For a stronger dish in the mouth, we can offer it as an option the 114 ci motor..
