Key Features of the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob®

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic V-Twin

Power defines the 2026 Street Bob®, and the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic makes sure you feel it every time you roll on. With 117 cubic inches, 10.3:1 compression, and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), the engine is tuned for real-world torque — 120 ft-lbs at just 2,500 rpm — so it leaps from corners, merges decisively, and cruises with effortless authority. The 98 horsepower peak arrives at 4,600 rpm, giving the bike a wide sweet spot. Primary drive is chain (34/46), with thoughtfully spaced gear ratios to keep the motor in its punchy zone: 9.311 in first for strong launches down to 2.79 in sixth for relaxed highway running. The result is a V-Twin that’s equal parts classic Harley-Davidson® feel and modern refinement, with a smooth pulse and a deep, satisfying exhaust cadence.

Two-into-1 Exhaust with Street-Ready Performance

The Street Bob®’s 2-into-1 exhaust does more than look purposeful — it’s tuned to complement the 117’s torque curve with crisp scavenging and responsive mid-range pull. A catalyst in the header underscores the modern efficiency of the system, while the overall layout supports lean angles of 28.5 degrees left and right without intruding on rider ergonomics. Paired with the engine’s low-end strength, the exhaust helps the bike surge off lights and carry speed between corners with a satisfying urgency. The note is unmistakably Harley-Davidson® — deep at idle, assertive on throttle — with a clean finish that matches the bike’s stripped, performance-driven ethos.

Selectable Ride Modes and 4-inch Analog-Digital Display

Old-school vibe meets new-school clarity. The updated 4-inch analog speedometer integrates a digital display that puts vital information in your line of sight: gear position, odometer, trip, fuel level, range, ride-mode status, traction control, ABS, TPMS, heated gear indication, cruise control status, clock, and tachometer. Selectable Ride Modes let you tailor throttle response and system intervention to conditions and preference, while retaining the bike’s visceral connection to the road. USB-C charging keeps devices powered, and the interface is intuitive — minimal, but richly informative when you want data. It’s a cockpit that encourages you to focus on riding, not menu diving.

All-LED Lighting

Visibility and presence get a meaningful upgrade with the Street Bob®’s full LED suite. Up front, an all-LED headlamp with low beam, high beam, and a signature position lamp projects a bright, focused pattern that helps you see and be seen. Bullet-style LED stop/tail/turn signals integrate neatly at the rear, complementing the bike’s clean tail profile while delivering fast, conspicuous illumination. The net effect is stronger night riding confidence and a modern light signature that still fits the bike’s classic lines. Day or night, the lighting package underscores the Street Bob®’s readiness for daily duty.

Rider Safety Enhancements with Cornering Control

Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements add a safety net that’s designed to be there only when you need it. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lock during urgent straight-line braking, while Traction Control System (TCS) manages rear-wheel spin under acceleration. Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) reduces excessive rear slip during abrupt deceleration or downshifts. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts you to pressure changes on the display. Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control (C-TCS), and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control (C-DSCS) take it further by factoring in lean angle to help the bike remain composed mid-corner. These systems are not a substitute for rider skill, but they add confidence when roads or weather get unpredictable.
