Harley-Davidson Breakout — Overview

The Harley-Davidson Breakout is a cruiser bike available at a price range of Rs. 34,36,000 - Rs. 34,54,000 in India. It comes in 3 variants and 5 colours. It is powered by a 1923 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a ARAI mileage of 17.8 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Harley-Davidson Breakout comes with anti-locking braking system. The Breakout bike weighs 310 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 18.9 liters. It develops a power output of 101.9 bhp and a torque of 168 Nm.

A 240-section rear tyre, a raked-out stance borrowed straight from hand-built choppers, and 168 Nm of torque from a 1923cc V-twin - the Harley-Davidson Breakout is the most extreme Softail in Harley's India catalogue. Priced from Rs 34,36,000 (ex-showroom), it is not a sensible purchase by any rational measure, but there is simply nothing else you can ride out of an Indian showroom that looks this aggressively custom. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine - an air-oil cooled 1923cc unit - generates its torque peak at just 3000 rpm, which means every roll of the throttle in third gear feels like you are dragging a freight train off a signal. The 665mm seat height is surprisingly accessible for a cruiser this big, and the 5-year unlimited-km warranty gives you more peace of mind than most rivals at this price point. If you have been waiting to own a Harley that looks like it rolled off a Californian custom shop floor, the Breakout is your answer.

Harley-Davidson Breakout Latest Updates

View all

  • India-US interim trade framework proposes zero import duty on US-manufactured motorcycles between 800cc and 1600cc - but the Harley-Davidson Breakout's 1923cc engine places it above the qualifying threshold, so its 30% CBU import duty remains unchanged and no price reduction is expected for this model.

  • Harley-Davidson Breakout 2026 model year arrives in India with three new colour options - Blood Orange, Teal Thunder, and Iron Horse Metallic - replacing the older Billiard Gray, Midnight Firestorm, and Brilliant Red finishes, while Vivid Black and Dark Billiard Gray carry over. No mechanical changes to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 specification.

  • Harley-Davidson India announces pricing for the MY2025 big bike lineup on June 19, 2025, with the Breakout revised upward to Rs 31,79,000 (ex-showroom) from the 2024 launch price of Rs 30,99,000 - a Rs 80,000 increase driven by import duty and currency adjustments.

What We Like

  • Distinctive minimalist design that rivals hand-built customs at a fraction of the price
  • Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine delivers locomotive-level torque with effortless highway cruising
  • Low 665mm seat height makes the big cruiser accessible for shorter Indian riders
  • 5-year unlimited-kilometre warranty plus 2 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance

What Could Be Better

  • Very heavy at 309 kg - parking and U-turns in tight city traffic require real effort
  • Riding position becomes painful beyond 30 minutes on rough Indian roads
  • Low 115mm ground clearance causes scraping on speed breakers that are common in Indian cities

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Harley-Davidson Breakout?

The Breakout is the Harley for riders who want to make a statement - it looks unlike anything else on Indian roads and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 has the muscle to back up that attitude. But it demands respect: it is heavy, low, and designed for open highways, not Mumbai rush hour. If you can live with its real-world limitations, there is no better-looking cruiser you can buy in India for under Rs 40 lakh on-road.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of Harley-Davidson Breakout in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The Harley-Davidson Breakout is priced at Rs 34,36,000 (ex-showroom) across India. The on-road price in Delhi comes to Rs 38,58,481, while Mumbai buyers pay approximately Rs 42,70,801 on-road - the Rs 4.12 lakh difference is almost entirely due to Maharashtra's higher road tax slab for large-displacement motorcycles.
QWhat is the mileage of Harley-Davidson Breakout?▾
The ARAI-certified mileage of the Harley-Davidson Breakout is 17.8 kmpl. In real-world Indian conditions - mixed city and highway riding - most owners report 15-17 kmpl. Aggressive riding or heavy stop-and-go traffic can bring this down to 14-15 kmpl. The 18.9-litre tank gives a highway range of roughly 300-320 km per fill.
QWhat engine does the Harley-Davidson Breakout have?▾
The Breakout is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Custom - a 1923cc air-oil cooled V-twin producing 101.9 bhp at 5020 rpm and 168 Nm of torque at just 3000 rpm. The six-speed gearbox is tuned for relaxed highway cruising, and the engine meets BS6 Phase II emission norms.
QWhat is the EMI for Harley-Davidson Breakout base variant?▾
On the Delhi on-road price of Rs 38,58,481 with a 20% down payment and a 36-month loan at 10% interest, the monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs 97,000-1,05,000. Manufacturer-backed finance schemes through Harley's dealer network can offer rates as low as 6-8% for eligible buyers, reducing the monthly outgo further.
QWhat are the service interval and approximate cost for Harley-Davidson Breakout?▾
The Breakout requires its first service at 1,000 km, then scheduled maintenance every 8,000 km or 12 months. The first two years of scheduled maintenance are complimentary under Harley's India ownership package. Post-warranty service costs typically range between Rs 8,000 and Rs 20,000 per visit depending on the service type and parts replaced.
QHow does Harley-Davidson Breakout compare to the Indian Chief Bobber?▾
The Breakout starts at Rs 34,36,000 (ex-showroom) - approximately Rs 9.35 lakh more than the Indian Chief Bobber's Rs 25,01,000 starting price. The Breakout gets a larger 1923cc engine versus the Chief Bobber's 1890cc unit and includes traction control plus a 5-year warranty as standard. The Chief Bobber offers more traditional cruiser styling; the Breakout's chopper aesthetic is more extreme and polarising.
QIs the Harley-Davidson Breakout suitable for daily commuting in India?▾
The Breakout is not well-suited for daily city commuting. Its 309 kg kerb weight is fatiguing in stop-and-go traffic, the 115mm ground clearance scrapes frequently on Indian speed breakers, and the riding position becomes uncomfortable on short repetitive urban trips. It delivers its best experience on open highways and weekend runs rather than daily office commutes.
QWhat is the seat height of Harley-Davidson Breakout?▾
The Harley-Davidson Breakout has a seat height of 665mm, which is notably low for a 309 kg motorcycle. Most riders 5'6" and above can plant both feet flat on the ground, making it more manageable in slow-speed situations than its imposing size might suggest.
