Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output Motor

At the heart of the Low Rider® S is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output, tuned to deliver 114 HP at 5,000 rpm and 128 ft-lbs of torque at 4,000 rpm. Its 117 cu in displacement, 10.3:1 compression ratio, and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) produce immediate roll-on and a broad torque curve that feels effortless at real-world speeds. The Heavy Breather intake feeds cool, dense air while the engine’s internal balance and valvetrain design reduce mechanical harshness without muting the classic V-Twin cadence. Whether you are short-shifting through a twisty section or charging an on-ramp, this powertrain rewards smooth inputs with predictable, hard-hitting acceleration.

Performance-Tuned 2-Into-1 Exhaust

The factory 2-into-1 exhaust is more than a styling cue—it is a performance partner. Tuned to complement the motor’s cam timing and intake flow, it helps build strong midrange torque while allowing the 117 H.O. to pull cleanly to redline. The collector and header design optimize scavenging, which supports smoother throttle transitions and an authoritative, refined sound that does not overwhelm at cruise. Combined with the Heavy Breather intake, the package improves volumetric efficiency, translating each twist of the throttle into precise forward drive, on-demand.

Rider Safety Enhancements + Ride Modes

Traction and braking confidence come standard. Rider Safety Enhancements align with real-world scenarios—accelerating on slick crosswalk paint, rolling off the throttle on a wet downhill, or trail-braking into a decreasing-radius turn. Core systems include Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Cornering systems add lean-sensitive control: Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS), and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS). Selectable ride modes adjust power delivery and system intervention for conditions, helping the bike stay composed so you can focus on your line and throttle timing.

All-LED Lighting Package

Lighting is fully modern for both visibility and style. The headlamp uses all LED elements for a bright, well-shaped beam with a signature position light that helps others identify the motorcycle at a glance. LED Bullet Turn Signals and a sharp LED tail/stop light enhance conspicuity, while low power draw supports electrical system efficiency. With better light color and distribution than traditional bulbs, the All-LED Lighting Package improves nighttime confidence and makes the bike’s profile unmistakable in traffic.

Blacked-Out and Dialed-In

From its dark finishes to the steep-backed solo seat, the Low Rider® S is designed to look fast standing still and feel locked-in at speed. Ergonomics set the rider in a commanding position, aided by the seat’s supportive kick-up that holds you in place under heavy acceleration. Black Radiate Cast Aluminum wheels reduce visual mass and complement the athletic stance, while Michelin® Scorcher 31 tires strike a smart balance between grip and longevity. A 4-inch analog speedometer is paired with a digital display showing gear, fuel level, ride modes, traction control status, ABS, TPMS, and more—so you are always informed without visual clutter.
