Overview

Harley Davidson Softail Low Rider

The tradition of individualism in the custom chopper era is demonstrated by the Low Rider’s rake on its front end, dual gauges on the tank and ‘70s-inspired graphics. Only it’s built for rolling faster, harder and longer than any Low Rider® motorcycle that ever rolled out of the factory. It’s also lighter with the massive, refined power of the Milwaukee-Eight® 107 engine, and lean angles and suspension that let you carve corners in ways they never imagined back in the day. There’s also just enough modern flash to show the world it belongs to this generation, like cast wheels and LED forward lighting. With styling reminiscent of the original in the ‘70’s, the tradition of individualism carries on in the new, more powerful Low Rider® motorcycle. A CUSTOM CHOPPER LOOK FOR A NEW GENERATION The classic rake on its front end, dual gauges on the tank and ‘70s-inspired graphics are combined with modern cast wheels and LED forward lighting. BUILT FOR ROLLING FASTER, HARDER, AND LONGER It’s lighter, and with the massive power of the Milwaukee-Eight® engine, you’ll carve corners in ways you never imagined back in the day.
