Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Breakout®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom Motor

Harley-Davidson® equips every 2026 cruiser with a Milwaukee-Eight® 117, and the Breakout® receives the Custom tune for muscular power delivery right where riders use it most. Expect 126 ft-lbs of torque at 3,000 rpm and 103 HP, translating into immediate, confident acceleration from low speeds and authoritative roll-on in the midrange. The 117 cu in displacement (4.075-inch bore, 4.5-inch stroke) breathes through Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection for crisp response, while a 10.3:1 compression ratio keeps performance lively without sacrificing daily rideability. A performance-tuned 2-into-2 staggered exhaust gives the Breakout® its voice and complements the V-Twin’s broad torque curve. Matched with a 6-speed transmission and chain primary, the drivetrain feels stout, direct, and right at home slicing through traffic or stretching its legs on a long straight.

300mm Front Disc + 21" Wheel

Up front, a 300mm disc and 4-piston fixed caliper team with a tall 21-inch wheel to deliver strong braking feel and precise steering feedback. That combination is a hallmark of the Breakout® look — tall and proud up front — yet it is tuned for confidence. The dual-bending valve 49 mm telescopic fork manages dive and rebound smoothly, preserving control as you trail the brakes into a corner or come to a brisk stop on imperfect pavement. The gloss black, 26-spoke cast aluminum wheel ties the performance package to the bike’s custom aesthetic, complemented by black Split 7-spoke floating rotors.

Boldly Profiled 240mm Rear Tire

The Breakout®’s 240mm Michelin® Scorcher 11 rear tire is more than a styling statement — it works with the 34-degree rake, 5.7-inch trail, and 66.7-inch wheelbase to deliver calm, planted manners. Straight-line stability is a standout, but the tire also gives the rear a confident, progressive feel as you roll into the throttle exiting corners. The bobtail fender showcases that bold profile, contributing to the Breakout®’s unmistakable silhouette. Tread life and consistency benefit from the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which displays pressure info on the gauge so you can keep the rubber right where it should be.

4" Analog Gauge + Customizable Ride Modes

Analog where you want it, digital where it counts — the 4-inch analog speedometer anchors a clear display that places ride-critical data within easy view. You can select customizable ride modes that tailor throttle response and intervention thresholds to your preferences, then monitor gear position, fuel level, traction control and ABS status, TPMS readings, range, tachometer, and more. The display also integrates indicators for heated gear and cruise control readiness. On the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Breakout®, this thoughtful instrumentation bridges classic design with modern function so your focus stays on the road.

5.75" LED Headlamp + LED Turn Signals

Lighting is all LED, front to back. The 5.75-inch LED headlamp produces a bright, even beam pattern for low and high settings, complemented by signature position lighting that fits the Breakout® vibe while boosting conspicuity. Bullet-style LED turn signals and LED tail/stop lamps keep the rear tidy and highly visible. LEDs reduce current draw and maintenance while providing a crisp, modern light signature that suits the Breakout®’s design language.
