The H.O. 103 engine is a known quantity that performs exactly as expected in this capacity. With a claimed 105 pound-feet of torque available at just 3,250 rpm, stoplight acceleration is as robust as highway cruising is relaxed, and the sweet tune from the tapered chrome duals should have the aftermarket worried. Ride quality from the air-adjustable suspension is impressively plush at low speeds and over smooth pavement yet stiff enough for moderately spirited riding—aided by bigger, 49mm forks with stiffer triple clamps, more Rushmore improvements—but with just 2.1 inches of rear-wheel travel beware of hard hits. Relatively light, 5-spoke Enforcer wheels—also new last year—help handling even more. Reflex linked brakes balance forces front and rear and allow you to more consistently use the unexpectedly powerful rear brake—as certain Harley riders are wont to do—without activating the ABS.
