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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output

The heart of the Low Rider® ST is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output, tuned for immediate response and a wide, usable powerband. It produces an OEM-claimed 114 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque, with peak torque arriving at 4,000 rpm. Throttle response is clean and predictable thanks to Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection, and the 10.3:1 compression ratio complements the Heavy Breather intake to keep the engine breathing efficiently. The 2-into-1 exhaust is not just for style or sound, either, as its collector design supports midrange punch while reducing mass compared to a dual setup. On rolling grades and quick passes, the engine’s authoritative pull makes short work of traffic gaps while remaining composed at cruising speeds.

FXRT-Inspired Fairing

This fairing is a defining element, channeling the classic West Coast look with a modern aerodynamic sensibility. Shaped to focus airflow around the torso, it reduces fatigue across longer rides while keeping steering feel light and accurate. The fairing’s stance pairs with the Low Rider® ST’s lean chassis geometry to offer stability in crosswinds and when riding across open bridges or ridge lines. Headlining the cockpit is an all-LED headlamp with a signature position lamp that boosts visibility day and night, and the fairing integrates cleanly with the 4-inch gauge to keep sightlines uncluttered. The result is a cockpit that feels purposeful, with wind management that never dulls the raw connection to the bike.

Selectable Ride Modes and 4-inch Display

Ride Modes allow you to tailor throttle mapping and traction intervention to the day’s route and your personal preferences. Whether you prefer steady roll-on for tighter urban grids or more aggressive response for open county roads, the selectable modes make the Low Rider® ST adaptable. The 4-inch analog speedometer integrates a digital display for gear position, odometer, fuel level, ride modes, heated gear, traction control, ABS status, TPMS alerts, cruise control, clock, trip meters, range, and tachometer indication. It is an information-dense readout that stays legible at a glance, and USB-C charging comes standard so you can keep your device powered for navigation or communication.

Performance Chassis and Brakes

A single-cartridge 43 mm inverted fork with aluminum triple clamps provides firm, controlled inputs at the bars and excellent front-end feedback. Out back, the hidden coil-over monoshock with hydraulic preload adjustability supports consistent cornering and steady high-speed tracking. The 63.6-inch wheelbase works with a 28-degree rake and 5.7 inches of trail to balance quick turn-in and planted mid-corner stability. Front braking is handled by a 4-piston fixed caliper and a floating 2-piston caliper at the rear, with Split 7-spoke floating rotors that resist heat buildup. Michelin Scorcher 31 tires, sized 110/90B19 up front and 180/70B16 at the rear, deliver predictable grip across a broad temperature and surface range.

Rider Safety Enhancements and All-LED Lighting

Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements elevate control when conditions change. The suite includes Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control System, Drag-Torque Slip Control System, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System, with Cornering Enhanced variants available in C-ABS, C-TCS, and C-DSCS for additional composure while leaned over. These technologies are designed to step in during acceleration, braking, or deceleration events to help manage traction without interrupting your flow. All-LED lighting from front to rear improves conspicuity and output, including LED Bullet Turn Signals and a distinct LED Buffett tail lamp. Together, the lighting package and electronic aids build confidence without adding complexity for the rider.
