The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® stands as a bold statement of power and design, combining the Harley-Davidson® iconic chopper aesthetics with advanced engineering and performance. This motorcycle is engineered for riders who demand both cutting-edge performance and striking visual appeal. With the introduction of the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom engine, a refined chassis, and a comprehensive suite of modern technologies, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is ready to take on the streets with authority.
Aggressive and Refined Design
At first glance, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® immediately establishes its presence with its classic chopper-inspired design. The aggressive stance is highlighted by the wide 240mm rear tire, giving the bike a commanding look that’s complemented by functional performance features. The long rake and low profile, coupled with the bold graphics and custom paint options, reflect the brand’s commitment to both style and performance.
The 34-degree rake is a defining characteristic of chopper motorcycles, offering a design that has been synonymous with the Harley-Davidson® lineage. While the design adheres to traditional chopper styling, the geometry has been recalibrated to improve the handling, ensuring that this bike performs efficiently in various riding conditions. The wide rear tire not only enhances the visual appeal of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® but also provides superior traction for optimal power delivery.
The premium paint options available on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® are designed to cater to a wide range of riders. With colors such as Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Centerline, Brilliant Red, and the new Factory Custom Midnight Firestorm, riders can customize their bikes to match personal tastes. The glossy black base and ghost flames of the Midnight Firestorm are an example of the attention to detail Harley-Davidson® applies to even the smallest aspects of their motorcycles.
Engineering and Performance Excellence
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® incorporates the newly developed Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom engine, an upgrade that significantly boosts the bike’s performance. This engine provides a maximum of 104 horsepower and 126 ft-lb of torque. The performance of this engine makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® an excellent option for riders seeking acceleration, smooth cruising, and power for highway conditions.
The addition of a two-into-two exhaust system further enhances the overall performance by optimizing airflow and adding a classic look that complements the aggressive stance of the motorcycle. This exhaust design contributes not only to the bike's rumble and aesthetics but also to improved performance, ensuring a steady flow of gases for maximum efficiency.
A notable improvement in the 2025 model is the advanced suspension system. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is equipped with dual-bending valve 49mm forks that provide enhanced comfort, stability, and control across various road conditions. The adjustable rear suspension offers hydraulic preload adjustment, which is conveniently accessed beneath the seat. This allows the rider to make quick changes to the rear suspension based on load or personal preference, providing a customizable riding experience for different conditions.
Handling and Stability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® has been engineered with a focus on precision and stability. The front disc brake system is a 300mm single disc setup, paired with a bold 21-inch front wheel. The brake system provides excellent stopping power, complementing the bike’s performance features and ensuring confidence during high-speed deceleration or emergency stops.
The rear wheel, in particular, is integral to both the aesthetic and performance of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout®. The 240mm wide rear tire ensures a large contact patch, allowing for maximum power transfer to the road, particularly during acceleration. This tire size is part of a broader design philosophy that combines style with function, giving riders a unique blend of performance and visual appeal.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® has undergone careful adjustments to its trail and chassis geometry to ensure it handles more predictably than its predecessors. The bike’s rake angle, measuring at 34 degrees, is a key component in its ability to handle with precision despite its classic design. The recalibrated handling offers enhanced stability and smoother turns, allowing riders to experience the full potential of the Milwaukee-Eight® engine without compromising on control.
Technological Advancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® introduces several new technological enhancements that integrate seamlessly into the bike’s performance-focused design. The incorporation of modern tech ensures that this motorcycle is not only a visual masterpiece but also a practical and safe riding machine.
The new four-inch analog display blends traditional analog readings with modern digital functionality. The speedometer offers quick and easy readability, while the integrated digital screen provides essential information such as ride modes and mileage. This combination of analog and digital gives the rider a balanced view of key metrics without overcomplicating the display.
The addition of a USB-C charging port is another example of how Harley-Davidson® incorporates modern needs into the motorcycle's design. Riders who rely on their devices for navigation or communication can charge their smartphones, GPS systems, or Bluetooth® headsets while on the move.
For added rider comfort, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® now comes with ergonomic hand controls, designed to accommodate the various rider safety enhancements available. These hand controls are adjustable, with the brake lever being easily tunable to suit individual preferences. This level of adjustability helps ensure that the rider maintains comfort during long rides and reduces fatigue.
Rider Safety Enhancements
Safety remains a top priority, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is equipped with a suite of rider safety enhancements designed to provide additional peace of mind, especially in challenging conditions. These systems are designed to help riders maintain control during acceleration, braking, or cornering, ensuring a safe and smooth ride.
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is standard on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® and works by preventing the wheels from locking up during hard braking, especially in emergency situations. This is complemented by the Traction Control System (TCS), which prevents the rear wheel from spinning out of control during acceleration, even in slippery conditions. The system enhances rider confidence by offering greater stability and control.
Additionally, the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) helps prevent excessive rear-wheel slip when downshifting or rapidly decelerating. This feature is especially important in wet or slippery conditions, where rear-wheel lockup can occur. The system works to keep the rear wheel from losing grip when the throttle is reduced quickly or when the rider downshifts too aggressively.
For cornering safety, the Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) adjust their responses based on the lean angle of the bike. This ensures that braking and traction control remain effective during turns, even at higher lean angles. The Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS) also operates in conjunction with these systems to adjust for downshifting or throttle changes when cornering, further enhancing stability and control during turns.
Lastly, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts riders when tire pressure deviates from the optimal range. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for vehicle performance and tire lifespan, and the TPMS ensures that the driver is always aware of any potential issues before they compromise safety or handling.
