US-market 700 cc version of the liquid-cooled, five-valve, shaft-drive Maxim-X cruiser, shortened in stroke to stay under the 700 cc import tariff limit. A 1985 magazine test called it unusually athletic for a cruiser, with strong midrange and top-end power, though the fork flexed under hard cornering.
