2008 · Cruiser
The 2008 Titan Sidewinder Custom Pro Street Softail represents a distinctive entry in the custom cruiser market, embodying the raw, stretched-out aesthetic popular during its era. As a bespoke American motorcycle, it competed directly with other high-end custom builders like Big Dog Motorcycles' Mastiff or Ironhorse's Texas Chopper, offering a factory-built alternative to garage customs. It was designed for riders seeking a unique, low-slung machine with significant road presence and a powerful, air-cooled V-twin heart.
At the core of the Sidewinder lies a substantial 1750.00 ccm (106.79 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This large displacement unit generates a robust 112.00 HP (81.8 kW) of power, ensuring ample acceleration for its class. Torque figures are equally impressive, reaching 121.00 Nm (12.3 kgf-m or 89.2 ft.lbs), which translates to strong pull from low RPMs, a hallmark of powerful cruisers. With a dry weight of 294.8 kg (650.0 pounds), the engine's output is well-matched to the bike's mass, promising a responsive ride. Fuel capacity stands at 17.41 litres (4.60 gallons), providing a reasonable range for cruising.
Riding the Sidewinder is characterized by its low-slung posture and stretched-out ergonomics. The seat height, at a very accessible 610 mm (24.0 inches) (lowest setting if adjustable), places riders firmly in the bike rather than on top of it, enhancing the cruiser feel. The long wheelbase and raked-out front end contribute to stable highway cruising, though they naturally require more effort in tight maneuvers. The Softail frame design aims to provide the clean lines of a rigid frame with the benefit of rear suspension, offering a degree of comfort over varied road surfaces.
The 2008 Titan Sidewinder Custom Pro Street Softail is aimed squarely at the rider who prioritizes unique styling, a powerful V-twin rumble, and a commanding presence. It’s not a motorcycle for the faint of heart or those seeking nimble agility; rather, it caters to individuals who appreciate the custom chopper aesthetic in a production package. Its substantial engine and distinctive looks make it a statement piece, built for cruising boulevards and covering long distances with a distinct attitude.
