Built around Road's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2022 Road Hopper Type5 Shovel Iron Edition relies on a 1518 cc (92.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.0 x 114.3 mm (3.6 x 4.5 inches) with a 8.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Hopper Type5 Shovel Iron Edition measures 260 kg (573 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,600 mm (63 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
