Built for long-distance momentum

Smooth, consistent power delivery is the goal on a touring platform—especially when riding two-up or carrying luggage.

DCT performance: smooth shifts, confident control

This model uses a seven-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Dual clutches pre-select the next gear, which helps keep acceleration seamless and reduces the “shift shock” you can feel on big touring bikes. For riders who spend time in stop-and-go traffic around San Diego or prefer relaxed highway cruising, DCT can make the ride feel more effortless.
