2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® near Greenville, SC

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® continues the tradition of muscular chopper-inspired design while introducing refinements in engineering, performance, and safety. It combines a long, lean profile with a powerful Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom engine, a wide 240mm rear tire, and a 21-inch front wheel. This model is built with attention to both style and function, with advanced rider technology integrated into its systems. The result is a motorcycle that emphasizes measurable performance attributes and technical precision at every level.

Engine Power and Performance Output

The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom powertrain defines the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® with 104 horsepower and 126 foot-pounds of torque. This engine is designed for commanding acceleration, strong passing ability, and consistent cruising speed across varying conditions. It incorporates a high-flow touring intake that improves airflow and supports sustained performance while also delivering a distinct mechanical presence.

A two-into-two exhaust system balances high-flow efficiency with classic cruiser lines. Together with the refined intake, the system contributes to optimal combustion efficiency and throttle response. Fuel economy is measured at 49 miles per gallon, giving the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® an effective combination of torque-heavy output and long-distance efficiency. The engine’s integration with the motorcycle’s overall geometry ensures that performance is both powerful and manageable, even under sustained demand.

Structural Geometry and Chassis Refinements

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® carries forward a 34-degree chopper-style rake, but engineering adjustments to the trail and chassis distinguish its handling from older generations of extended-front motorcycles. These refinements create a balance between drag-inspired stance and improved stability.

The motorcycle’s 240mm rear wheel contributes to both traction and design. The wide contact patch ensures reliable grip during acceleration, with consistent performance across different road surfaces. The 21-inch front wheel highlights the motorcycle’s stretched styling while supporting directional control, with the single 300mm front disc brake providing stopping force that matches the demands of the chassis.

The laden seat height is 25.6 inches, which supports stability during stops and provides a comfortable riding posture. Stainless steel drag bars and pull-back handlebars adjust rider ergonomics to maintain leverage during acceleration and braking without compromising comfort over extended rides.

Suspension and Load Adjustment Systems

Suspension refinements give the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® both control and adaptability. The dual-bending valve 49mm front forks are calibrated to absorb irregularities in the road while providing direct feedback to the rider. At the rear, a hydraulic preload-adjustable monoshock is positioned under the seat for convenient access. This design allows riders to fine-tune load settings quickly, ensuring consistent performance in solo or two-up configurations.

These suspension components integrate with the motorcycle’s geometry to deliver improved cornering response and predictable handling, even when paired with the wide rear tire. Combined with Michelin® Scorcher® 11 tires, the suspension contributes to stability under acceleration, braking, and sustained cornering.

Lighting, Paint, and Styling Elements

While the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® adheres to traditional chopper styling, the 2025 model incorporates technical updates in its design components. Compact LED lighting meets modern visibility standards while preserving the stripped-down, old-school appearance of a chopper. All lighting elements are designed for efficiency, durability, and brightness, ensuring performance under low-visibility conditions.

The model is available in five paint finishes, including Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Centerline, Brilliant Red, and the new Factory Custom Midnight Firestorm. Midnight Firestorm combines a gloss black base with ghost flame graphics, giving the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® an updated option for riders seeking a more distinctive aesthetic. Paint finishes are complemented by refreshed graphics, a monochromatic Bar & Shield logo, and 26-spoke aluminum wheels that match the aggressive stance of the motorcycle.

The bobtail rear fender exposes the wide rear tire, reinforcing the drag-style appearance while maintaining structural function. Stainless steel drag bars, polished finishes, and overall proportions make the styling consistent with the design legacy while keeping the focus on measurable durability and functional details.

Control Features and Rider Interface

The rider interface of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® is designed for clarity and adaptability. A four-inch analog speedometer integrates a digital display, combining traditional readability with modern information accessibility. The display presents ride modes, mileage, and system alerts in a compact format, reducing distraction while riding.

Ergonomic hand controls are designed to align with integrated rider safety systems. An adjustable brake lever allows for quick customization to individual preferences, improving both comfort and control. USB-C fast charging capability is built into the motorcycle, providing reliable device support for extended rides where navigation or communication is necessary. 

Rider Safety Enhancements and Control Systems

Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements are standard on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® and are engineered to support the motorcycle’s performance across a wide range of conditions. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) prevents wheel lock during urgent braking in a straight line, maintaining directional control. The Traction Control System (TCS) reduces the chance of rear-wheel spin during acceleration, especially on surfaces with reduced grip.

Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) minimizes the possibility of rear-wheel lock caused by abrupt downshifts or rapid throttle closure. Cornering-enhanced systems expand these functions by adjusting braking and traction according to lean angle. Cornering ABS (C-ABS), Cornering Traction Control (C-TCS), and Cornering DSCS (C-DSCS) calculate required brake pressure and throttle modulation dynamically during cornering maneuvers. These adjustments create a more predictable response and help reduce risks associated with sudden inputs while leaning.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts riders to abnormal air pressure, ensuring both performance and tire longevity are preserved. Collectively, these systems form a comprehensive safety package that is actively integrated into the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® design without adding unnecessary complexity to the rider’s experience.
