UNDERSTATED STRENGTH
Meet the opposite of pretentious. The quietly confident. The understated but never overlooked. We're talking about the 2019 Honda Shadow Phantom, a bike distinct for what it's not. With spoked wheels on black rims, a tough front fork, bobbed fenders and matte black accents, the Phantom makes a powerful statement. The upright seating position is comfortable for the urban ride or the weekend getaway. And the blacked-out 745cc V-twin and throaty exhaust always announce your arrival. All that, with a price tag sure to keep you in the black, too.
FEATURES
PERFORMANCE
V-TWIN ENGINE
Nothing pumps out the torque like a big V-twin. The Phantom’s power makes it perfect for both around-town cruising, commutes and casual weekend-long rides.
STYLE
STYLISH FINISH
Bobber-inspired styling with extensive blacked-out and matte finishes.
SHORTY FRONT FENDER
Minimalist front fender gives the Shadow Phantom a lighter, cleaner, more progressive look.
SPOKED WHEELS
Spoked black wheels and hubs feature a 120/90-17 front tire and 160/80-15 rear tire to complete the overall custom look.
COMFORT
LOW SEAT HEIGHT
Skimming the pavement at just 25.8 inches, the Phantom’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the Phantom’s narrow seat/tank junction makes it feel even lower.
GUNFIGHTER SADDLE
Sleek, one-piece gunfighter-type seat is comfortable and looks great too.
DRIVETRAIN
SHAFT FINAL DRIVE
Clean, efficient, proven, low-maintenance. Shaft final drive is the perfect choice for a machine like this, and for riders who pile on the miles. You never have to worry about lubrication or adjustment out on the road. And an added plus: it helps keep your bike cleaner, too.
2-INTO-2 EXHAUST SYSTEM
Sleek pipes feature bullet-style mufflers for that classic cruiser style of yesteryear. Large-diameter head pipes and 2-into-2 system design combine to put out true, V-twin cruiser sound.
FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION
Wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet allows you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.
PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI)
Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadow's fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.
THREE-VALVE DUAL-PLUG COMBUSTION CHAMBER
It’s the best of both worlds: The three-valve combustion chambers used on many of our V-twin cruisers feature two intake valves and one exhaust, helping them breathe efficiently to boost both horsepower and torque.
ENGINEERING
FRONT-DISC BRAKE
If there’s one place you don’t want retro performance, it’s your brakes. That’s why we gave the Shadow Phantom a 296mm front disc for distinctly modern stopping power.
