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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output Motor

At the heart of the 2026 Low Rider® S is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output, a muscular V-Twin tuned for 114 HP and 128 ft-lbs of torque. That thrust arrives with the crisp response of Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), and it is shaped by a Heavy Breather intake designed to let the engine inhale efficiently at speed. The character of the 117 High Output is unmistakable — a strong low-end launch and a robust midrange pull that rewards short-shifting or revving toward its eager top end. Coupled with optimized gear ratios across the 6-speed box, it dishes out assertive acceleration while holding steady in highway sweepers. The 10.3:1 compression, broad torque curve, and refined fueling strike a smart balance: fierce when you ask for it, smooth and predictable when you want to cruise.

Performance-Tuned 2-Into-1 Exhaust

The performance-tuned 2-Into-1 exhaust routes flow for both power and a clean cornering profile. A catalyst in the header helps manage emissions, while the system’s layout aids scavenging for stronger midrange response. On the road, that translates into a soundtrack that fits the bike’s attitude — present and purposeful — and an exhaust configuration that complements lean angles measured at 31.3 degrees on both sides. Whether you are diving into an on-ramp or rolling past slow traffic, the 2-Into-1 works as part of a carefully coordinated package to keep the 117 High Output responsive and lively.

Rider Safety Enhancements + Ride Modes

Standard Rider Safety Enhancements elevate control and confidence when traction or surface conditions vary. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lock under hard, straight-line braking, while Traction Control System (TCS) helps keep rear wheel spin in check during straight-line acceleration. Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) reduces excessive rear-wheel slip during abrupt downshifts or rapid deceleration, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts you to low or high pressure via the display. Cornering Enhanced systems — C-ABS, C-TCS, and C-DSCS — adjust intervention as the bike leans, supporting smooth, stable inputs mid-corner. Selectable ride modes tailor throttle response and system behavior, giving you the flexibility to match the bike to your road and riding style with simple, intuitive control.

All-LED Lighting Package

The All-LED Lighting Package equips the Low Rider® S with optimized illumination and visibility on every ride. The headlamp provides bright LED low and high beams with a signature position lamp for conspicuity. Out back, an LED Buffett tail lamp and LED Bullet Turn Signals help define the bike’s profile to surrounding traffic. The net effect is visibility that makes sense for urban riding and late nights — bright where you need it, efficient, and reliable. The modern LED package also complements the motorcycle’s clean, blacked-out design language, enhancing style without sacrificing function.

Blacked-Out and Dialed-In

From the Black Radiate Cast Aluminum wheels to the split 7-spoke floating rotors, the Low Rider® S wears its intent with confidence. The steep-backed solo seat plants the rider in the bike, improving control under acceleration and during quick transitions. A 4-inch analog speedometer integrates digital readouts for gear position, odometer, fuel level, ride modes, heated gear indicator, traction control, ABS, TPMS, cruise control, clock, trip, range, and tachometer information — everything you need, right where you expect it. Premium Paint + Graphics, including the available Aurora Blue Denim, add depth without distracting from the core silhouette. It is a motorcycle built to ride hard and look right doing it.
