Overview

Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider S

Back alley brawler. In 1977, when the first Harley-Davidson Low Rider rolled off the line, it pushed the limits of factory custom design to a place they’d never been. Now, the Low Rider S is taking the genre to a raw and powerful new edge. We mounted our Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine in a nimble Dyna chassis and installed a heavy breather intake. We added tall bars, mid-mount controls and a new seat that position arms up and out and feet square, along with premium front and rear suspension, giving the rider everything required to put the massive power to good use. We stripped down and blacked-out the rest with gold accents like the tank badge and pinstripe and matching split five-spoke cast aluminum wheels. Get behind the fixed speed screen and hang on.

What you’ve got is a classic looking Seventies style single seat cruiser in a timeless black with gold wheel combo. As the name suggests, the rider sits just 26.6” from the tarmac, making it one of the lowest bikes on the market, while that 1801cc motor pumps out a claimed 156Nm of torque, 13% up on the standard Low Rider, through the six-speed gearbox. There’s 49mm front forks, a twin-disc ABS set-up and more style and bad-ass biker cred than you can shake a stick at.

The Low Rider S joins the Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S as the third model in the Harley-Davidson S Series of cruiser motorcycles, bikes designed to deliver maximum performance with styling inspired by global custom motorcycle culture. Powered by the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine with upgraded suspension and brakes, the Low Rider S is stripped down and ready for action.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON LOW RIDER S PUSHES CRUISER PERFORMANCE TO THE EDGE New Performance Cruiser Features Screamin' Eagle Muscle and Stripped-Down Style

Powered by the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, the Low Rider S model joins the recently released Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S models as the third member of Harley-Davidson's S Series cruiser lineup, bikes designed to deliver maximum performance with styling inspired by global custom motorcycle culture. Upgraded suspension and brakes complete the performance package of a motorcycle that's stripped down and ready for action.

"Riders have been asking when Harley-Davidson would build another aggressive, performance-based bike like the legendary FXR models," said Harley-Davidson Director of Styling Brad Richards. "This is our answer to that question. The Low Rider S is informed by the current tall-bike custom trend and our own styling heritage, but also seeks to redefine Harley-Davidson performance for a new generation of riders. We wanted to really connect the rider to the road by delivering instantaneous power and agile handling with a bike that's trimmed to the essentials."

Those essential elements begin with the powertrain. The Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine is a powerhouse V-Twin and the largest-displacement engine Harley-Davidson installs at the factory. Equipped with a Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather performance intake and Fat Bob-style 2-into-2 exhaust, this engine pounds out 115 foot pounds of peak torque at 3500 rpm - 13 percent more power than the standard Low Rider model. A heavy-duty clutch delivers that power to a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. Cruise control enabled by electronic throttle control is standard equipment. The entire powertrain and exhaust is finished in a combination of gloss black and wrinkle black powdercoat.

The Low Rider S model is equipped to be as maneuverable as it is powerful. Premium Ride nitrogen gas-charged emulsion shocks and a Premium Ride cartridge fork deliver exceptional handling and comfort. Front and rear suspension components react quickly to small bumps and keep the tires in contact with the road surface for confident, controlled handling and braking performance. Triple disc brakes with dual floating front rotors are equipped with standard Anti-Lock Braking System. A new solo seat, flat drag bar on 5.5-inch-tall risers and mid-mount controls put the rider in an aggressive hands-up position square over the pegs. Seat height remains low, at 26.6 inches.

The rider views the road over a distinctive speed screen that gives the Low Rider S motorcycle instant identity on road.

"When you ride fast in this upright position, you need a little wind protection," said Harley-Davidson Senior Stylist Dais Nagao. "Then the way we inset the headlamp deeper into the speed screen gives the Low Rider S an aggressive face. It's a powerful way to communicate the personality of the motorcycle."

The solo seat, chopped rear fender and side-mount license plate keep the rear end uncluttered. Because no other color makes a statement like black, the Low Rider S is offered only with Vivid Black on the sheet metal. Other black finishes maintain the dark theme from the forks to the console to the rear fender struts. The single exception: new Magnum Gold lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, a finish inspired by the gold-tone magnesium wheels used on race cars in the 1960s. A gold tank badge pays homage to the 1977 XLCR Café Racer model.
