2026 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S

For Life in the Left Lane

For riders who want more out of every mile, the 2026 Low Rider S brings a sharper edge to factory performance. From its rip-ready suspension to the Heavy Breather intake and performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust, this machine is built to cut harder, corner sharper, and rev to the limiter. And with the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output motor and standard Rider Safety Enhancements, it’ll let you ride like you were born for it.

Features may include:

Design That Demands More
  • Stripped-down style, dialed all the way in. Blacked-out trim, refreshed paint and graphics, and full LED lighting give the 2026 Low Rider S a look that’s as sharp and unapologetic as the ride it delivers.
Blacked-Out and Dialed-In
  • Bold graphics and paint sharpen the already aggressive stance on the Low Rider S, with blacked-out trim that keeps the attitude on from tank to tail.
All-LED Lighting Package
  • A 5.75” (146 mm) LED headlamp, LED taillight, and LED turn signals cut through the dark and keep you visible from every angle, day or night, rain or shine.
Steep-Backed Solo Seat
  • The steep-backed solo seat locks you in place so you can ride with the bike, not against it. Launch harder, corner deeper, and stay planted every inch of the way.
Premium Paint + Graphics
  • From the deep tone of Dark Billiard Gray to the flash of White Onyx Pearl, there are five distinct colorways to make the Low Rider S yours. Choose chrome or black trim to match your edge, with Blood Orange and Aurora Blue Denim reserved for riders who want their blacked-out bikes to stand out even louder.
The Proof Is in the Performance
  • The Milwaukee-Eight 117 High Output motor, Heavy Breather intake, and a performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust, paired with a performance-retuned suspension make every twist of the throttle feel like an act of hostility. Taller rear shocks boost lean angle and comfort, so you can learn your limits.
