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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output Motor

On the 2026 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output motor is the heart of the experience. It is engineered for more horsepower and more torque, delivering 114 HP and 128 ft-lbs with a strong midrange surge that makes real-world passing feel effortless. Its displacement, compression, and breathing are tuned to sharpen throttle response and add urgency when you roll on, while Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection meters fuel cleanly for crisp starts, smooth idle, and predictable pull all the way to redline. Matched to a 6-speed transmission with ratios that keep the engine in the sweet spot, the motor builds confidence on twisty roads and steady composure on longer stretches. This is the kind of V-Twin performance that rewards precise inputs and keeps asking for the next corner.

Performance-Tuned 2-Into-1 Exhaust

A performance V-Twin deserves an exhaust system that does more than make noise. The performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust on the Low Rider® S helps optimize scavenging for strong torque delivery and a broad, usable powerband. The single collector design supports midrange punch — exactly where street riders live — while the catalyst in the header is integrated to meet regulations without dulling the engine’s character. The audible note is assertive yet refined, complementing the bike’s blacked-out stance. Paired with the Heavy Breather intake, the system enhances airflow while maintaining clean, consistent fueling. It’s a complete, factory-engineered solution designed to help the 117 High Output breathe, rev, and respond the way a performance cruiser should.

Rider Safety Enhancements + Ride Modes

Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements deliver intelligent support when conditions get unpredictable. Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System manages brake pressure with lean angle in mind to help limit wheel slip in a turn. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System monitors rear wheel spin, reducing power when needed for stability on straightaways and at lean. Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control helps mitigate rear wheel slip during abrupt downshifts or throttle chops, while the Tire Pressure Monitoring System keeps you informed about inflation status in the gauge display. Layered on top, selectable ride modes tailor power delivery and intervention thresholds to suit the moment. The net effect is confidence — you ride the motorcycle, and the systems have your back when the pavement changes or the weather rolls in.

All-LED Lighting Package

Seeing and being seen matters on every ride. The All-LED Lighting Package equips the Low Rider® S with a bright LED headlamp providing a focused low beam, a powerful high beam, and a signature position lamp that helps traffic notice you. LED Bullet Turn Signals front and rear communicate intent cleanly, and the LED Buffett tail lamp illuminates rear visibility for following motorists. LED lighting offers faster illumination than halogen, which can help reduce reaction times for drivers behind you, and it draws less power while improving durability. Whether you are navigating dark two-lane stretches or early morning commutes, the lighting package brings consistent clarity and a modern, premium look front to back.

4-Inch Analog Speedometer with Digital Display

The cockpit of the Low Rider® S strikes a balance between classic style and modern function. A 4-inch analog speedometer anchors the view, while a digital display integrates gear position, odometer, fuel level, ride modes, heated gear status, traction control, ABS, TPMS, cruise control, clock, trip, range, and tachometer data. Information is both comprehensive and easy to parse at a glance, helping you keep your focus on the road. The layout fits the bike’s minimalist performance ethos — everything you need, nothing you don’t — and the controls are intuitive so you can access key data without hunting through menus. It is a purposeful interface that supports the ride rather than distracting from it.
