Nine Hills Motorcycles reimagines the Breakout with subtle custom tweaks and bold visual updates—without touching Harley's original Milwaukee-Eight engine.
Avenger Without a Cape
The custom motorcycle named "Avenger" has nothing to do with comic book superheroes. Instead, it's a reinterpretation of a 2022 Harley-Davidson Breakout by Poland-based Nine Hills Motorcycles. The workshop took the factory cruiser—already a popular platform for modification—and gave it a more assertive stance and visual edge.
Why the Breakout?
Among Harley-Davidson’s cruiser lineup, the Breakout holds a unique place. It's built in classic chopper fashion, featuring stretched lines and a powerful engine straight from Milwaukee. It also happens to be one of the most frequently customized Harley models. This isn't necessarily because it lacks character out of the box, but because it so easily accommodates aftermarket parts and design tweaks. As a result, the number of modified Breakouts on the road may outnumber the stock ones.
Engine Left Untouched
Nine Hills made a conscious decision to leave the Milwaukee-Eight engine entirely stock. Even the factory chrome finish was preserved. The only major change in this area is the exhaust system: the original layout has been replaced with a high-end system from KessTech, which follows the same routing as the factory pipes but offers different acoustics and likely improved flow.
Suspension and Wheels
While the new wheels on the Avenger aren’t a radical departure from the original design, they’ve been airbrushed in a contrasting silver and black finish to better fit the overall aesthetic. These wheels are paired with an upgraded suspension system featuring pneumatic components and blacked-out front forks, offering both a visual and functional upgrade over the standard setup.
Big Names, Small Details
Many of the new parts installed on the Avenger come from respected names in the custom scene: Rebuffini, Rick’s Motorcycle, Thunderbike, and Kodlin. Though the specifics aren’t listed, these brands typically provide high-end handlebars, controls, covers, and other detail-oriented components. Together, these elements add to the custom identity of the build without overwhelming its original Harley structure.
A Green Statement
Perhaps the most noticeable change is the bike’s paint. Nine Hills chose a vivid shade of green to cover the minimal bodywork, helping the Avenger stand out immediately. Combined with the rest of the visual tweaks, the paint helps make this version of the Breakout one of the more aggressive-looking custom builds without straying too far from Harley’s original DNA.
Price Unknown, But Base Is Not
Nine Hills hasn’t disclosed what it costs to create the Avenger, but Harley-Davidson’s current-generation Breakout—now equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine—starts at $23,099. Customizing one to a similar level would add several thousand more, depending on the choice of parts and labor involved.
