Harley Davidson Breakout ride review , Harley Which Cost you more than ₹30 lakh Times Drive

The road to the Indian market for Harley has not been an easy one. In a country where brands like Splendor, Pulsar, Apache and Enfield and their customers own a large chunk of the market in the two-wheeler motorcycle segment, Harley-Davidson is bound to face problems there. Now there can be many issues behind this like GDP per capita, cost, tariff, consumer interest. But we leave the burden of all these heavy questions to those who have mastered the excel sheet. Coming back to the story, now Harley collaborated with Hero and introduced X4 in the Indian market but it did not get much traction there either. But Harley-Davidson as a brand is known for the kind of motorcycles that we have seen in Hollywood movies. They are something like this and one such product is with us today, Harley-Davidson Breakout, about which I am going to talk to you today in this video. Hello, welcome all of you to Times Drive, I am Anchor Taja. Let's start the review of this Harley-Davidson Breakout. Now let's talk about the elements that give this Harley-Davidson Breakout a grand look. Let's talk about them first. So first of all I will talk about the tires, here the tires you get in the front are of 130 section and you get 21 inch B21 tire in the front and along with the size of alloy wheels which are given in dual combination. Talking about the rear, there you get 18 inch tire in 240 section. Yes you heard it right, so that is also an element that gives this bike that kind of character. The engine that is used in this is Milwaukee's straight 117 series engine. So this engine is of 2000cc. And here you can see its badging of 117. And this big element that you are seeing here is its air intake which helps in cooling the engine. The front facing is given here in such a way that the air coming from the front goes to the engine here. And the cooling of the engine can be better. Now if we talk about the length of this bike, then its length is 2370m. And if we talk about the wheelbase, it is about 1700m. So everything in terms of numbers is also big in this breakout. Talking about the size of the fuel tank, its fuel tank is 18.9L. The ground clearance is only 115mm. It is a cruiser type design, so you will see something similar in the ground clearance as well. It is given 115mm. And if we talk about the weight, then the number is not small there either. Its weight is approximately 310kg with fuel in the tank. Now talking about the seat, it is a cruiser bike, there is no problem. If your height is a short, then there is no problem. You can see the flat feet are going here. Its seat height of 665m is given here. Depending on its weight, if you can manage that. Its weight of around 310kg is given here. Apart from this, if you come here, you will get to see a little bit of screen element here. Now talking about some features, here in the front you get a complete LED setup, this round circular headlamp. And here the overall throw of its light is also quite good. You can see projector headlamps have been used here in it. Apart from this, the blinkers, here you get the feature of hazard diet. But this setup LED is not given in it. Head zone has been used here. You will find chrome finish at many places here. It is given around the indicators here. A little bit of it is seen here in the front suspension. Disc brakes etc, abs etc. Of course, dual channel abs is available here. Apart from this, you will also find the feature of traction control and also cruise control in this breakout. A small screen has been given here. Two screens are given, however, small. And if we talk about the information in it, information of fuel gauge, speedometer, trip meter is available. All the information about gear indicator is given. Then neutral indicator and engine lights etc. You will find all these options here in its two small screens. On the right side of the handlebar, here you get the ignition switch. Switch for traction control indicators and if we come to left side, here a button is given to control the cluster. If you operate it, you will get the option of time. You will go to RPM. Then you will find options like odometer and trip meter in its screen. Apart from this, the cruise control button which I am talking about is given on the left side. From here you can operate its cruise control. And the side mirrors given here, you can also see them with chrome finish. You will get them in it. Another interesting element here on the side is its exhaust tail. Dual exhaust tail which is given here in it. You will also get to see a lot of chrome elements on the inside. The engine cover will also be seen filled with chrome in many places. And here also you will get to see chrome finish elements in this highlight efficient breakout. And there is a tail light at the back. It has been integrated in its indicator itself. In both you will get to see those red circular lights which work as tail lights. And again the indicators are used in halogen. However, the tail light is LED. Talking about the seat, there is a big seat for the rider. It is comfortable. And also, the kind of power this bike delivers, a back support is needed when accelerating. So you will find that here too. A decent seat is also provided for the end pillar. Now the Milwaukee 817 V1 engine given in it generates power of about 100bhp. And around 168Nm peak torque is generated by this engine. So how is this bike to ride? How is the performance? How is the overall ride quality handling? We will talk about that. But before that let us tell you the exhaust note of this breakout. And this sound makes it true Harley. Now let's move ahead and talk about its ride, handling and performance. Now if we talk about the perfection of this Harley Davidson breakout, then this bike delivers good perfection in both city and highway environments. And on highways, for which purpose this kind of bike is specially designed, then you are going to feel this bike to be very fast. And along with that in the city, yes, you will have to face the heating issue in traffic. But apart from that, if we talk about performance according to the city, then its performance is also quite good there. The balance of the bike is also good at slow speeds. And also the height of the bike is low, so there is no problem with the legs, the balance remains good, in case you are stuck in traffic with this bike. Now the perfection is good but if you are riding this bike at high speed, especially low care and high speed, then you are going to feel vibrations through the bike. The engine is of 2000cc, so you will definitely feel the vibration element in the handlebars, seats, footrest and tank of this bike in this environment. And one element in terms of ride that I liked a lot in this bike is the position of the rider's seat, the support with the backrest also plays a very crucial role on the road. If you are going on long highway rides with this bike, then you will not find any compromise in comfort there. And along with this, if I talk about the suspension setup, then overall there is a good balance on the highway. If some potholes come suddenly in the city, then you will feel a little stiffness in the suspension. But apart from that, the kind of balance that is required in the setup at high speed, you are going to see it well in this high end breakout. Talking about braking, it comes in dual chain, so the bite of braking is precise. Slow speed, high speed, sudden potholes, just be a brake, if you come across then you need sudden braking there. So bite is also seen in good braking. So here also, there is no compromise in this Harlands breakout. Another problem that you can face with this bike, due to low ground ground, if you are going on uneven speed breakers, that is, if there are no proper speed breakers and dies, then there are more chances of it getting scraped from below, so you will have to take this bike out of those speed breakers very carefully. You will have to take the bike there at a very slow speed. Now talking about the handling of If you have to maneuver it, then you will definitely have a problem in maneuvering the bike at a slow speed. Especially in a traffic environment, the front end will feel very heavy there, when the bike is cruising on the highway, there is no problem, it does not feel that much weight. But if you are repeatedly moving it back and forth, in a parking situation or you are maneuvering it in traffic or if you are driving this bike at slow speed, then you are going to feel its front end to be quite heavy. So this is also an aspect to keep in mind if you are considering this Harley Davidson breakout. Now let's talk about Dansu and not Sudansu elements. What did I feel after experiencing this Harley Davidson breakout? So first let's talk about not Sudansu elements, the first of which is its 115mm ground clearance. Now if you try to take this bike out of those speed breakers made by the people of the society or colony, then sometimes you will definitely see it escaping from below. So you will have to keep that one element in mind before buying this bike. Now the second note last element that I felt about it is the heat coming out of its engine. Although there is no problem on highways. But if you get stuck in traffic with this bike, then that engine heat is definitely going to bother you there. Then the final note that I felt about it is the price of this bike. Now if the tariffs are reduced, then its price will also drop. But right now the price of this 2024 Harley Davidson breakout in the Indian market is 31 lakh rupees x showroom. So this is a matter beyond the pocket of many or major Indian population. Now what are the cool elements that I felt after experiencing this Harley Davidson breakout, the first of which is its overall design and fit and finish top-notch no compromise. The next element that I felt was cool about it is its performance. This bike runs fast on highways. And the power delivery and the torque that this engine delivers are very impressive. Then the final element that I felt was amazing about it is the sound of its exhaust note as I said earlier, which makes it a true thrill. Now if we talk about the overall package of this breakout bike, then the performance of the bike is quite good. If you want to buy this bike keeping these things in mind, the perfection is quite good, the seating comfort is quite good, and also decent features are also seen in it. And the overall presence of the bike, the stance of the bike definitely gives it a different distinct look, where people will definitely look back at it again and again. So if your pockets are so deep in keeping these elements in mind, you are looking for a bike of this capacity in this segment, which can especially give you fun on long highway trips and can give you a lot of fun. So I think keeping these in mind, this breakout of every vision can definitely be a good package for you. Ohm
