Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production started year: 2017
In 2017, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a cruiser motorcycle that debuted many years ago in 1977. It offered an authentic 1970s style wrapped in a modern package and a rider's triangle with adjustable features for excellent ergonomics.
The 2017 Low Rider featured a few modifications, including a keyless ignition, a battery tender harness, and custom colors. The bike retained the classic American style and still delivered excellent performance, handling, and ergonomics.
In the aesthetic department, the bike rolled on split five-spoke aluminum wheels and packed several styling features, such as a Wrinkle Black console, a headlight eyebrow, a black engine with chromed head covers and cooling fins, a unique two-into-one exhaust system, and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank.
At its core, the bike still packed the 1,690cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, delivering excellent engine response, fewer emissions, fast acceleration, and 126 Nm (93 lb-ft) torque with a peak at 3,250 rpm.
The bike was built on a tubular steel frame with a raked-out telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, while the stopping power was achieved by two discs on the front with four-piston calipers and a disc on the rear with a two-piston caliper.
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Low Rider came as standard with a deep, rich Vivid Black paint job and was available in an optional two-tone Billet Silver with Black livery.
