2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® in Augusta, GA
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is a long-frame cruiser built with a rigid emphasis on performance. It combines a stretched aesthetic with a chassis tuned for directional stability, high-output torque, and responsive ergonomics. Designed within the Softail® platform, this model is centered around delivering high-displacement V-Twin performance through a streamlined package intended for predictable control and long-range functionality.
Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom V-Twin Configuration
Delivering 117 cubic inches of displacement, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom engine inside the 2025 Breakout® maintains reliable low-end torque across varied riding scenarios. Air and oil cooling systems work in tandem to manage thermal demands. The engine’s configuration provides immediate throttle engagement and smooth power through midrange cruising.
The two-into-two offset shotgun exhausts are tuned to optimize backpressure without interfering with power delivery. This configuration also assists in exhaust heat dispersion, maintaining overall system temperature and enhancing mechanical efficiency. Precision fuel injection supports throttle accuracy while maintaining a clean, responsive feel across all gear positions.
Chassis Geometry and Frame Stability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® maintains a 34-degree rake angle, which gives the model its stretched front-end configuration. Despite the raked appearance, the steering geometry is designed to maintain road contact and minimize front-end float. The single rear shock absorber is mounted under the seat and is equipped with a hydraulic preload adjuster.
The front end includes 49mm dual-bending valve front forks. These components respond to vertical travel with linear damping characteristics. This layout allows the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® to maintain line stability at mid to high speeds.
The steel frame incorporates rigidity without sacrificing flexibility in response to torsional forces. Weld points, gusset supports, and tube shapes are optimized to ensure that load distribution is balanced across the length of the chassis.
Traction Profile and Tire Application
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is fitted with Michelin® Scorcher® 11 tires. The rear tire width is measured at 240mm, which is engineered to carry torque load without deformation. This tire provides traction during both standing starts and roll-on acceleration and maintains its profile integrity under braking forces.
The tread pattern is constructed to support both dry pavement operation and light wet-surface traction. The tire compounds are calibrated for progressive wear, ensuring stable handling over time.
Braking Components and Force Modulation
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® uses a 300mm front disc brake. The caliper is tuned for a progressive engagement curve, which gives the rider measurable stopping control over short distances. The rear brake functions to stabilize the frame during simultaneous braking and cornering.
Braking efficiency is assisted by weight distribution across the long wheelbase, with emphasis on minimizing forward pitch. This improves load transfer during deceleration and keeps both wheels in active contact with the surface during braking sequences.
Selectable Power Modes and Traction Control Calibration
The motorcycle includes three selectable ride modes: Road, Rain, and Sport. These settings adjust internal parameters across the electronic throttle system, engine braking calibration, and cornering traction control system. Each mode modifies how power is delivered, how quickly the throttle responds, and how the motorcycle behaves during changes in traction.
The control systems monitor lean angle, throttle position, brake pressure, and wheel speed. These sensors operate together to adjust torque output and rear wheel slip without direct rider intervention. In higher sensitivity settings, the system reduces engine torque output during instability. In more performance-oriented modes, it provides increased rear wheel authority while retaining background intervention in critical scenarios.
Handlebar, Control Systems, and Brake Lever Ergonomics
The handlebar design on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® remains drag-style. Stainless steel drag bars position the rider in a slightly forward-leaning posture to balance upper-body weight across the front axle. The revised control housings are designed to maintain a low profile while housing the required electronic systems for mode selection and indicator management.
An adjustable front brake lever is now standard. This feature allows riders to adjust the engagement range based on hand size or braking preference. The lever pivots on a multi-position mechanism, making braking input more predictable.
Instrumentation and Display Readout
The primary gauge is a four-inch analog speedometer combined with a digital LCD information strip. This unit is positioned centrally to remain within the rider’s forward line of sight. The digital portion displays gear position, trip information, fuel level, and ride mode selection. The gauge is backlit for low-light conditions and calibrated for real-time accuracy, reducing the likelihood of lag between sensor data and display output.
Lighting Equipment and Electrical Visibility
All lighting components are full LED. The front headlamp is compact and focused for optimal projection distance. Rear lighting includes integrated turn signals and a taillamp assembly that conforms to the bobtail fender shape. The lighting layout avoids overhang and is designed to reduce component exposure during vibration or weather contact.
The beam spread is tuned to provide adequate peripheral lighting during night riding while maintaining a sharp forward projection. The headlamp is mounted at fork height to align with the front axle path and ensure accurate beam placement on the road.
Fuel Economy and Operational Efficiency
The estimated fuel economy for the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is 49 mpg. This value results from a combination of refined engine mapping, lean combustion efficiency, and aerodynamic load reduction. While fuel capacity is designed for range, engine control units optimize mixture ratios to maintain consistent combustion during varied throttle inputs.
A standard USB-C port is included within the wiring harness layout. It is positioned to support navigation device charging or auxiliary power draw. The port is shielded to prevent water intrusion and is rated for typical device voltage tolerances.
Paint Schemes and Factory Custom Options
Five paint options are available. One of the featured configurations is the Factory Custom Midnight Firestorm finish. This option consists of a gloss black base with flame-accented visual contrast integrated into the tank and fenders. A monochromatic Bar & Shield emblem completes the design without external badging.
All paintwork is completed at the manufacturing level and is treated for UV and chemical exposure resistance. Panels are clear-coated to prevent premature degradation and are inspected for consistency during final assembly.
