Harley-Davidson Breakout 117

For starters, the Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 measures 2,370 mm in length, 950 mm in width, 1,085 mm in overall height, and 665 mm in unladen seat height. This performance custom cruiser also comes with a 1,695-mm wheelbase and a 115-mm ground clearance.

The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 flaunts a neo-retro chopper design, enhanced by a combination of modern features and chrome accents throughout its body. Up front, it features a round LED headlight and a pair of round turn signals, which give its overall appearance a classic touch. This performance custom cruiser also gets chrome mirrors and a body-coloured front fender underneath.

Moreover, its side profile looks brutish and sporty at the same time, highlighted by its vibrant branding decals, muffler shields, a “Heavy Breather” intake, and the brand’s signature 2-into-2 exhaust configuration. This performance custom cruiser is fitted with 26-spoke cast aluminum wheels finished in gloss black (front: 21-inch, rear: 18-inch). Meanwhile, at the back, it gets a slim LED tail light and another pair of round turn signals. A prominent rear fender also adds more detail to its rear look.

In terms of features, the rider gets a 2.14-inch LCD display with a fuel level, tachometer indication, gear indicator, speedometer, odometer, trip, range, and a clock. This custom cruiser also features a reshaped seat that provides the driver with great cushioning and support but is a bit narrow on the pillion side. On the bright side, this cruiser’s accessible seat height is well suited to riders of the average Filipino height, making low-speed cruises more manageable. 

The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 is equipped with dual-bending valve 49-mm telescopic with aluminum fork triple clamps at the front and a hidden 43-mm, stroked, free-piston, coil-over monoshock absorber at the rear. Thanks to this suspension setup, this performance custom cruiser remains composed on the highway while delivering a comfortable experience for both the rider and pillion. While it may feel quite heavy at low speeds, it still delivers decent agility when cruising around the city.

Additionally, it soaks up smaller bumps and other minor road imperfections decently. However, it would not be advisable to ride this on roads with larger humps and deep potholes, considering its low ground clearance. That said, the Breakout 117 feels most at home on long, open highways and straight roads.

The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 is powered by the brand’s 1,923cc Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine that delivers 102 hp of maximum power and 167 Nm of maximum torque. This performance custom cruiser also comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.

Equipped with Harley-Davidson’s Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, this performance custom cruiser delivers quick, smooth acceleration on the highway while remaining refined at low speeds. Vibrations are kept to a minimum without sacrificing the sense of exhilaration at high speeds. Aside from that, its engine also offers respectable fuel economy for its displacement. Overall, the Breakout 117’s engine delivers an impressive balance of excitement and everyday usability.

The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 is equipped with front and rear split 7-spoke floating rotors finished in black. Its braking setup also comes with a 4-piston fixed caliper at the front and a 2-piston floating caliper at the rear and is supported by an anti-lock braking system. This performance custom cruiser also gets a security system, as well as warning indicators for low fuel and low battery voltage, among others.

The Harley-Davidson Breakout 117 is a striking performance custom cruiser that blends iconic vintage riding aesthetic, thrilling V-twin power, and impressive highway comfort. While its size and weight demand some effort in the city, it rewards riders with a premium and unmistakably Harley-Davidson experience on the open road.
