DISCLOSURE: OPTIONS MAY VERY FROM BIKE TO DESCRIPTION

🔥 Engine & Performance

• Engine: Milwaukee-Eight™ 114 V-Twin — 1,868 cc (114 cu in) of classic Harley power.

• Fuel System: Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) for smooth throttle control.

• Exhaust: 2-into-2 staggered system with catalyst in muffler for that signature Harley rumble.

• Torque: Approximately 119 ft-lb @ ~3,000 rpm, giving strong acceleration and cruiser torque.

• Transmission: 6-speed Cruise Drive® manual gearbox.

This big V-Twin delivers a powerful, soulful soundtrack and plenty of torque for effortless passing and highway cruising.

🎨 Styling & Design

The Breakout 114 has a bold and aggressive look, with elements inspired by classic drag bikes but built on modern engineering:

• Low-slung stance with a long wheelbase and raked front end.

• 240 mm rear tire — a wide rear tire that accentuates the muscular look and provides traction.

• 130/60-21 front tire on a gloss-black Gasser II wheel that gives strong visual impact.

• Digital riser gauge mounted high for better visibility of speed, gear, and fuel info.

• Smooth-top 3.5-gallon fuel tank that highlights the big engine and clean lines.

The Breakout’s design is meant to look custom right off the showroom floor — long, lean, and unmistakably Harley.

🚀 Chassis & Handling

Built on Harley’s Softail® platform, this bike combines classic cruiser looks with modern performance features:

• All-new Softail® frame — lighter and stiffer than older designs for better handling and stability.

• High-performance front suspension with Showa® inverted cartridge fork for improved ride quality.

• Adjustable rear mono-shock — lets you tailor ride feel without sacrificing style.

• Brakes: 4-piston fixed front caliper and 2-piston rear floating caliper provide strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.

The result is a ride that feels grounded and responsive, yet still true to cruiser DNA.

🧰 Dimensions & Comfort

• Seat Height: ~25.6 in unloaded — a low, accessible seating position.

• Wheelbase: ~66.7 in — giving a long, stable platform for cruising.

• Fuel Capacity: ~3.5 gallons — enough for spirited rides, though touring requires more frequent fuel stops.

• Wet Weight: ~672 lbs — substantial mass that contributes to highway stability.

This geometry and weight make the Breakout stylish and comfortable on straights, though it’s designed more for cruising attitude than aggressive corner carving.

🏁 Character & Experience

The 2018 Breakout 114 is often described as a “muscle cruiser” — it’s dramatic in appearance, torquey and responsive, and ideal for riders who want a presence on the road as much as performance. The wide rear tire, long stance, and big engine make it feel like a custom drag-inspired bike you can ride every day.

💡 Who It’s For

This model is perfect for riders who want:

• Strong torque and big-bike feel

• Distinctive style with drag-bike cues
