This full-size American touring nameplate debuted for the 2022 model year as part of the brand’s new PowerPlus-based bagger/touring family. It was introduced as a chassis-mounted-fairing motorcycle aimed at riders who wanted long-distance comfort, integrated storage, and a more performance-oriented feel than traditional heavyweight touring bikes. The launch was significant because it expanded the company’s modern liquid-cooled V-twin lineup beyond the earlier Challenger into a true premium touring offering with a darker, more aggressive visual theme.
From the start, the nameplate has been positioned as a road-trip machine with strong emphasis on rider-assist technology, integrated infotainment, and factory touring equipment rather than custom-style minimalism. The Dark Horse variant gave the line a blackout aesthetic and a sportier presentation, helping it stand apart from the brighter Limited trim and from older cruiser-based touring models in the range. Over the following model years, the nameplate remained in production and continued to evolve alongside the broader PowerPlus family, including updates to equipment, colorways, and engine choices.
In 2025, the line received a notable refresh with a new chapter in its story, and by 2026 it was still offered as an active current-production touring model. Its place in the lineup reflects a modern direction for American baggers: liquid-cooled performance, long-haul comfort, and a factory-finished dark custom look built into the motorcycle from the outset.
