MODEL HISTORY

The Story of the Deadwood

Introduced for the 2026 model year, this nameplate marks a new U.S.-market cruiser in the manufacturer’s lineup rather than a long-running revival of an older badge. The bike was launched in July 2026 and positioned around the stripped-down, postwar custom look associated with the Sturgis and Black Hills riding culture. Its styling leans heavily into a dark, minimal aesthetic, with blacked-out components, a solo-seat silhouette, and a low stance intended to evoke the kind of garage-built motorcycles that inspired many late-1940s and early-1950s custom machines.

As a modern factory model, it combines that old-school visual theme with current chassis and rider-aid technology. The concept is not to recreate a vintage motorcycle mechanically, but to translate a nostalgic, Americana-inflected cruiser attitude into a contemporary production bike for riders who want a more characterful alternative within the brand’s modern cruiser range. Because it debuted as a new 2026 offering and there is no evidence of an earlier production run under the same nameplate, it should be treated as a single, current production period starting in 2026.
