MODEL HIGHLIGHTS

Key Features:
The fast, powerful, and aggressive V-Rod Muscle™ motorcycle is built for riders who want a little extra beef with their horsepower.

Riding the V-Rod Muscle™ allows you to experience the true definition of “power cruiser.” This brawny beast is designed for performance enthusiasts who crave power and control, with a dash of intimidation, all in a package that is distinctly Harley-Davidson.

  • High-performance Brembo® triple-disc brakes with available ABS.
  • Race-bred slip and assist clutch helps ease drive train effort during downshifting.
  • 240 mm wide rear tire.
