Lawless Harley-Davidson® - How the 240mm Rear Tire and Ride Modes Elevate the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® for Paducah, KY Riders

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® blends classic chopper attitude with a precise, modern feel, and two features do more than almost anything else to define that balance: the 240mm rear tire and integrated Ride Modes. Together, they create a motorcycle that looks unapologetically muscular while giving you the control to shape the ride around your route, your skills, and your day. That big rear tire isn’t just for show—it puts down serious traction when you launch hard or accelerate onto the highway, and the wide contact patch helps the bike track steady over imperfect pavement. Ride Modes, meanwhile, complement the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Custom powertrain by tailoring throttle response and intervention thresholds, so the bike can feel relaxed and smooth one minute, assertive and direct the next.

When you look closely at how these elements work in tandem, the Breakout® motorcycle’s design coherence emerges. The refined chassis geometry and 34-degree rake are calibrated so the tall 21-inch front wheel and the bold 240mm rear remain in sync. Hydraulic preload adjustment for the rear monoshock sits under the seat, allowing quick changes when you swap from solo errands to a weekend run. The result is confidence when you tip in, stability through wide sweepers, and a reassuring straight-line launch that makes every green light feel satisfying. Pair this with LED Lighting, the Four-Inch Analog Display, and USB-C fast charging, and you get a clean cockpit with the info and power you need, without visual clutter.
