Queen City Harley-Davidson® - What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S blends West Coast style with factory performance in a way few cruisers can match. This latest iteration sharpens the formula with a high-output Milwaukee-Eight® 117 powertrain, high-flow intake and exhaust, and a chassis set up for confident cornering. From the upright cockpit and steep-backed solo seat to the pared-down bodywork and blacked-out finishes, the Low Rider® S projects purpose from every angle while delivering the visceral feel riders expect from Harley-Davidson®.
Beyond its hard-hitting character, the 2025 model adds refinements that make every ride more intuitive. Updated ergonomic hand controls integrate Rider Safety Enhancements and Ride Modes, a riser-mounted analog gauge includes a helpful digital display, and LED lighting elevates visibility day or night. USB-C charging and thoughtful details throughout keep the bike modern without compromising its raw, athletic stance. At Queen City Harley-Davidson®, proudly serving Cincinnati, Mason, and Batavia, we present this performance cruiser to riders who value power, precision, and a clean look.
- Engine and power: Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output tuning delivers strong acceleration and urges you to stretch the tach across sweeping on-ramps and two-lane backroads.
- Exhaust and intake: A compact two-into-one exhaust and a forward-facing heavy breather intake work together for efficient flow and a sharper throttle response.
- Suspension and control: A tall rear monoshock increases cornering clearance, complementing the front setup for planted, predictable handling.
- Braking and safety: Rider Safety Enhancements and powerful brakes inspire confidence when the pace rises or conditions change.
- Instrumentation: A four-inch riser-mounted analog gauge with a digital readout puts key ride data and modes right where you want them.
- Lighting and visibility: A bright LED headlight and LED signals provide crisp, modern illumination and clear intent to surrounding traffic.
- Charging and connectivity: USB-C charging supports navigation, audio, and comms through your Bluetooth® headset on longer rides.
- Paint and finish: Premium finishes — including an eye-catching Factory Custom option — accent the blacked-out canvas with bold, refined details.
- You crave responsive performance: The High Output 117, matched with high-flow intake and exhaust, is tuned for riders who prioritize acceleration and mid-to-upper rev power.
- You like a focused cockpit: The solo seat and rider triangle keep you braced during hard launches and settled when carving through sweepers.
- You want athletic handling: Extra cornering clearance and quality components make quick transitions and firm, confident braking part of the experience.
- You prefer minimal bodywork: The Low Rider® S stays clean and purposeful, making a strong statement without a full fairing.
Fit is central to the Low Rider® S experience. The steep-backed solo seat supports aggressive acceleration, while the bar and riser setup keeps controls close and feedback direct. Updated controls now accommodate features like cruise control and traction control, and the adjustable brake lever helps fine-tune ergonomics for your hands and gloves. The tall rear stance is more than a styling cue — it unlocks lean angle and stability when the road gets interesting.
Which rider is it for? If you lean toward stripped-down style, the Low Rider® S is a natural choice. If you prefer a West Coast look with more wind deflection for longer stretches, consider a fairing-equipped sibling and decide which balance of wind protection and minimalism suits your roads. The Low Rider® S remains the purist’s option — lightweight, potent, and dialed for performance without distractions.
