Breakout 117 returned with fresh updates in 2025 and remains true to the classic chopper style. With its wide rear wheel tire, the striking, spared fork and a 2-in-2 exhaust system, it combines the best of the past and present. Breakout 117 is the perfect choice for everyone who is looking for a powerful cruiser with a hint of old school chopper.
Visually, the breakout remains a real appearance. With the wide 240 back wheel tire and the black glossy 26-spoke aluminum wheels, it radiates pure power. The model is only available with a chrome finish that looks particularly noble in combination with the paintwork.
