It is a brand new production bike. It was designed considering total balance to harmonize with each component.

Type 7 & 8 are equipped with HD Sportster engine, up-type handle and middle-control step. Type 5 (Evo) is installed with HD Evolution engine, and is equipped with drag bar handle and forward control step. Only Type 7 use a Telescopic fork and all other models use a Springer fork.

Q. How is the riding condition on rigid frame?

It feels rigid of course but our frame is milder than general rigid frame because ours give delicate sag and expect an air-cushion effect from both tires and seat springs. You will forget you are on a rigid frame when you ride slowly on paved roads.

Q. What are the fuel capacity and mileage?

It has an 8-liter or 6-liter tank. The average mileages are 15km/L (Evo) and 20km/L (Evo Sports) on highway.
