Traction control is standard on the Breakout 117 in the 2024 model year.
The new Breakout 117 has had traction control installed as standard this year.
Harley-Davidson focusing on safety and driving stability, especially with powerful models like the Breakout. In addition to the anti-lock braking system, traction control is now one of the standard assistance systems that ensure an even safer driving experience. On a Harley, which already builds up a lot of pressure with 168 Nm at 3,500 rpm, traction control is a useful support, especially in wet road conditions.

Test drive with the Breakout 117! Traction control in practical testing
During my test drive I was able to take a closer look at the character of the Breakout - in particular when the traction control really intervenes and whether you have the feeling that the machine is perhaps being controlled too much. But don't worry: The Breakout remains untamed. Of course, you still have to be a little careful on wet asphalt when you go straight to full throttle.
But as soon as the traction control registers that the tire is spinning, it intervenes pretty perfectly without the driver noticing a noticeable loss of performance. She just keeps going like the road is dry.
In my YouTube video you can get an impression of how I turned the throttle properly :-). If you want to drive without traction control from time to time, you can deactivate it using the switch on the dashboard.”

During my test ride last year, when I was riding the Atlas silver-colored Breakout, I was able to see how good the saddle on this machine is. I assume that you can easily cover longer distances with it. That's probably why Harley-Davidson thought: we'll also give the Breakout 117 cruise control.
Modern features and practical details for maximum performance and comfort
In addition, the Breakout 117 impresses with modern features such as a digital speedometer with LCD display in the handlebar clamp, LED headlights, electronic cruise control and a USB port. Practical details such as an immobilizer, keyless ignition and a remaining range display are also on board.
Visually, the model impresses with forward footrests and a removable pillion seat. The self-resetting indicators and the LED combination indicators at the rear complete the package. The integrated hazard warning lights ensure even more safety, while a connection for the battery charger increases convenience in everyday life.
New colors and standard cruise control for even more driving fun
The Breakout 117 is available in several attractive colors: Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Alpine Green and Blue Burst. Each of these colors gives the motorcycle its own touch and makes it a real eye-catcher on the road.
The Breakout 117 also now has cruise control as standard, which makes longer journeys even more relaxing. This electronic cruise control system is ideal for tours where you want to keep the speed constant without having to constantly turn the throttle. Not only is it comfortable, but it's another example of how Harley-Davidson equips the Breakout 117 with modern technologies to optimize the riding experience.
