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

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output

At the center of this motorcycle is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output engine, tuned for 114 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque. The Heavy Breather intake feeds cool air directly to the engine, while the 2-into-1 exhaust optimizes scavenging for strong midrange thrust. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection keeps fueling crisp and predictable, so roll-ons feel immediate and smooth across the revs. Built to sustain highway speeds with authority — and to surge past slower traffic without drama — the 117 H.O. pairs its muscle with a well-spaced six-speed gearbox and a primary chain drive that transmits power with reassuring solidity.

FXRT-Inspired Fairing and Aerodynamics

The distinctive FXRT-inspired fairing is not just a nod to Harley-Davidson® history — it is a functional advantage on every ride. Its profile helps manage wind pressure, calm head movement, and reduce buffeting around the helmet, which pays dividends at highway pace and when riding in gusty crosswinds. The fairing’s shape also complements the rider’s natural posture on the performance-adapted solo seat, encouraging a relaxed, elbows-bent stance that enhances steering precision. Integrated All-LED lighting boosts forward visibility and conspicuity, with a bright signature that is easy to pick out in traffic and in dim light.

Suspension, Brakes, and Handling Confidence

A 43 mm inverted front fork with single-rate springs provides stout support during hard braking and quick transitions, while the hidden, free-piston coil-over monoshock with hydraulic preload adjustment lets you fine-tune for load and preference. Radiate Cast Aluminum wheels and Michelin® Scorcher 31 tires strike a balance between agility and stability, and the bike’s 31.3-degree lean angles on both sides give you usable cornering clearance. Stopping power comes from a 4-piston fixed front caliper and a 2-piston floating rear caliper clamping split 7-spoke floating rotors, delivering controlled, consistent braking performance that inspires trust on backroads and boulevards alike.

Selectable Ride Modes and 4-inch Display

The cockpit puts essential information and control right where you need it. A 4-inch analog speedometer with digital readouts displays gear position, fuel level, ride modes, heated gear status, Traction Control, ABS, TPMS readings, cruise control status, clock, trip, range, and tachometer. Selectable ride modes tailor throttle response and system intervention to conditions and preference, making the motorcycle adaptable from urban commutes to open-road touring. USB-C charging comes standard to power navigation or communication devices, and available cruise control further reduces fatigue on longer stints.

Rider Safety Enhancements with Cornering Technologies

Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements support you when traction is compromised or inputs are abrupt. Systems include ABS, Traction Control System, Drag-Torque Slip Control, and TPMS. Cornering Enhanced ABS and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control adjust intervention when the bike is leaned, while Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control helps manage wheel slip during aggressive downshifts or abrupt throttle closures. These systems operate seamlessly in the background to help maintain stability and composure, especially on wet pavement, gravel-strewn corners, or during sudden maneuvers.
