The 115th Anniversary Breakout 114 was a special 2018 anniversary edition of Harley-Davidson’s modern Breakout 114, created to mark the company’s 115th year. It arrived as part of the Softail family’s major 2018 redesign, when the Breakout moved onto Harley-Davidson’s new lighter, stiffer Softail chassis and adopted the Milwaukee-Eight 114 powerplant. In Harley-Davidson’s own 2018 media material, the bike is identified as FXBRS / FXBRS ANX, with the anniversary version distinguished by its Legend Blue Denim finish and commemorative badging.
This nameplate was not a long-running standalone model. Instead, it was a one-year commemorative variant built around the newly updated Breakout 114 and sold alongside the standard colorways for that model year. The anniversary treatment gave the already drag-style cruiser a more collectible identity, tying the motorcycle to Harley-Davidson’s milestone year rather than to a separate production run.
Because it was tied to the 115th-anniversary celebration, the model’s history is concise: introduced for the 2018 model year and not continued as an ongoing nameplate afterward. Enthusiasts generally view it as one of the more notable special editions from Harley-Davidson’s 2018 Softail launch, combining the Breakout’s long, low custom-cruiser stance with limited-edition anniversary presentation.
