A whisper may sometimes be louder than a yell. The 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom is based on this concept. When it comes to bright chrome or colors, it’s understated. When it comes to a low center of gravity, comfort, rideability, and performance, this bike excels. The spoked wheels, black rims, bobbed fenders, and matte black details are worth noting. A blacked-out 745cc V-twin engine with a throaty exhaust provides the broad torque distribution and user-friendly power that every cruiser rider desires. It’s no surprise that it’s a popular choice, and it is the proud member of the list of Best Honda Motorcycles in the USA.
The low-profile 2020 Shadow Phantom Honda Cruisers continues to be a famous stable in Honda’s lineup for those who avoid bling and prefer their bobber-inspired V-twin cruisers to have a minimalist, uncluttered look with extensive blackout treatment, but also appreciate the convenience of reliable performance and programmed fuel injection.
2020 Shadow Phantom Honda Cruisers – Features
Engine / Drivetrain
The 745cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine produces much power across a broad rpm range. The long-stroke design of the crankshaft creates a robust V-twin feel and a low-rpm torque peak. Combustion chamber with three valves and dual plugs. Five-speed gearbox with a wide ratio-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) for improved throttle response and fuel economy.
Chassis / Suspension
The style is bobber-inspired, with many blacked-out and matte finishes—front fender with a minimalist design. The handlebar curvature enhances the bobber style. For a unique design, the 41mm fork has big-diameter matte-finished shrouds and a giant billet-aluminum triple clamp. It gives confident, balanced handling. For a smooth ride, the dual-shock rear suspension has a five-position spring preload adjustment. A 296mm drilled rotor is gripped between sintered metal pads by a single front disc brake with a twin-piston caliper. Drum brakes are used at the rear. The shaft final-drive mechanism ensures a smooth, low-maintenance operation. To complete the overall custom design, spoke black wheels and hubs are fitted with a front tire of 120/90-17 and a rear tire of 160/80-15. The seat height is just 25.8 inches. One-piece gunfighter-style seat with a sleek design. A bright 3.7-gallon gasoline tank with a tank-mounted speedometer.
