A different shock than the one used on the other Softail models gets you that extra travel and also a little better damping. Like the Lowrider S, the 4.4-inch rear suspension travel means the back end sits high so you can actually take a corner at a moderate pace. It wraps tight around the headlight and fork, and comes complete with ducts on each side – a true throwback. Here you have the same basic structure found with the Low Rider S, but with a frame-mounted, FXRT-inspired fairing straight from 30 years ago. Sport-Touring isn’t a category you normally associate with Harley-Davidson, but maybe you should? At least that’s what the Low Rider ST wants you to think. For that, Harley brings you… The Low Rider ST In the eyes of Harley-Davidson, the Low Rider S could easily be the everyday cruiser you’d choose if you want to be able to do a little bit of everything.

Nonetheless, since there’s no such thing as too much power, the Screamin’ Eagle catalog is already full of options to make the M8 117 flex its muscle even more, if that’s your thing. Horsepower numbers are actually down a little compared to the CVO and other ST models (more on those in a separate post), 103 hp at 4,750 rpm, but really, in the V-Twin world torque is what really counts anyway. The most powerful M8 engine to be fitted from the production line short of the CVO models, the 117ci (1923cc) air/oil cooled V-Twin boasts a healthy 125 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm for instant thrust the moment you twist the throttle. The round headlight on the S model, flanked by the minimal but obvious nacelle is a clear throwback, but look at the gas tank and you’ll see the font – including the drooped H in the name – is directly from the ’ 80s, too.Īll of those style elements give way to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin living down below. Then feast your gaze down to the wheels and the gold color adds a nice pop and contrast to the black features found mostly everywhere else. Fortunately for us, only one of those trends is making a comeback for 2022 (hint: not the hair). The black and gold combination reminds us of a time when long, curly perms were all the rage. Style-wise, you get flashbacks of Harleys from the ’ 80s when looking at either of these bikes.
