Some might tell you the rise of Breakout began when the controversial V- rod (Vrsc) was deleted from the harley-Davidson line-up in 2017 after nearly 20 years.

Ah, but wait. Breakout (FXSB) first appeared as a special build CVO Softail 110 twin-cam model in 2013, well before the appearance of the Milwaukee-Eight engine and the all new Softail chassis that would come to define the entire cruiser segment from 2017.
