2015 · Cruiser
The 2015 Road Type9i emerged as a notable contender in the cruiser segment, building on a lineage focused on classic American-style touring. This model year represented a refinement rather than a revolution, aiming to solidify its position against established rivals like the Harley-Davidson Street Glide and the Indian Chief Classic. For riders seeking a comfortable, long-distance machine with a distinctive presence, the Type9i offered a compelling package within its competitive landscape.
At the heart of the 2015 Road Type9i was its robust 1449.00 ccm (88.42 cubic inches) engine, a V-twin known for its ample torque and characteristic cruiser rumble. This powertrain provided sufficient grunt for highway cruising and effortless acceleration. The motorcycle’s dry weight tipped the scales at a substantial 260.0 kg (573.2 pounds), contributing to its stable road manners. Fuel capacity was rated at 10.00 litres (2.64 gallons), offering a reasonable range for touring without excessive stops.
Riding characteristics of the Type9i were defined by its low-slung design and comfortable ergonomics. The seat height, at a mere 636 mm (25.0 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, made it accessible for a wide range of riders, promoting confidence at stops. The traditional cruiser riding position, with forward-mounted controls and a wide handlebar, provided a relaxed posture ideal for eating up miles. Its significant weight and long wheelbase contributed to a composed ride, particularly on straight stretches of road.
The 2015 Road Type9i was primarily aimed at riders who appreciate the classic cruiser aesthetic and prioritize comfort and stability over aggressive performance. It appealed to those who enjoy leisurely rides, weekend tours, and the distinctive feel of a large V-twin. Its straightforward design and reliable mechanicals made it a practical choice for experienced riders looking for a dependable, long-distance machine. Ultimately, the Type9i delivered on its promise as a capable and comfortable cruiser.
