The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S is a performance-focused cruiser engineered for riders who value precision, power, and control. It combines advanced engineering with a stripped-down, aggressive design that prioritizes function. Equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output engine, recalibrated suspension, and a comprehensive suite of Rider Safety Enhancements, this model represents the dedication to building motorcycles that deliver consistent performance under a variety of conditions.
Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output Powertrain
The defining feature of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S is its Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output engine. This V-twin engine produces 114 horsepower and 128 foot-pounds of torque. It has been tuned to deliver strong performance in the upper rev range, appealing to riders who seek responsive acceleration during demanding rides. With a fuel economy of 47 miles per gallon, the model provides a balance between power and efficiency.
Supporting the engine’s performance is the heavy breather intake, positioned to draw in air effectively while maintaining an aggressive appearance. Combined with a lightweight, blacked-out two-into-one exhaust system, the setup promotes high flow and improved combustion efficiency. The resulting power delivery is steady and predictable, offering reliable acceleration across different environments.
Advanced Suspension and Handling Precision
Handling is enhanced through a tall rear monoshock that increases cornering clearance. This design improves stability when leaning into turns and contributes to more controlled cornering. A 43-millimeter inverted front fork complements the rear suspension, ensuring the motorcycle remains responsive under varying road conditions.
The recalibrated suspension raises the lean angle of the motorcycle and optimizes performance during aggressive cornering. The result is a ride that emphasizes precision without sacrificing comfort. Dual front brakes with 300-millimeter discs add a further layer of reliability, supplying consistent stopping power and reinforcing rider confidence during sudden braking or extended rides.
Functional and Purposeful Styling
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S is built with a stripped-down aesthetic that aligns with its focus on performance. Matte and gloss black finishes dominate the design, giving the motorcycle a streamlined appearance. Red accents are strategically placed on the intake, timing cover, and derby cover, providing a visual distinction without compromising its functional approach.
Five premium paint options are available, including the exclusive Mystic Shift color. This factory custom finish transitions from gunmetal to purple, blue, and orange depending on lighting conditions, adding visual depth to the model’s appearance. Black cast aluminum Radiate wheels reinforce the performance-driven character, while a color-matched mini-fairing frames the headlamp and improves aerodynamics during longer rides.
The solo seat features a steep-backed design that supports the rider during hard launches and sustained acceleration. Comfort and positioning are aligned with the bike’s emphasis on control, making it suitable for extended rides while maintaining performance readiness.
Lighting Systems for Visibility
Visibility is addressed through a complete LED lighting system. A 5.75-inch LED headlight illuminates the road ahead with clarity, while LED turn indicators and a taillight ensure signals are visible to surrounding traffic. This setup increases rider safety by maintaining consistent illumination in a variety of environments. Beyond safety, the lighting design contributes to the motorcycle’s clean and modern look.
Instrumentation and Display Technology
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S integrates both analog and digital technology in its instrumentation. A four-inch riser-mounted analog gauge is complemented by a digital display that provides information about ride modes, rider safety enhancements, and essential operational details. The placement and readability of the display simplify monitoring during rides.
USB-C charging capability is included, enabling devices to remain powered for navigation, communication, or entertainment. The inclusion of this charging port acknowledges the importance of connectivity for modern riders while maintaining the motorcycle’s focus on performance.
Ride Modes for Versatile Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S offers selectable ride modes designed to adapt performance characteristics to the environment. Road mode balances output for everyday riding, Rain mode manages traction and throttle response for wet conditions, and Sport mode sharpens performance for aggressive riding scenarios. These adjustable modes provide flexibility and allow the motorcycle to deliver consistent handling across different conditions.
Updated Control Systems
Hand controls on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S are designed to work seamlessly with its rider assistance technologies. Cruise control and traction control functions are integrated, ensuring convenience and improved stability. The adjustable brake lever enables fine-tuned ergonomics, allowing riders to set their preferred control position. This level of customization highlights the model’s attention to rider-specific detail while maintaining technical functionality.
Rider Safety Enhancements
Harley-Davidson® equips this model with a comprehensive suite of Rider Safety Enhancements, engineered to stabilize the motorcycle during unexpected conditions.
The Anti-lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking, improving control in urgent stops. The Traction Control System maintains rear wheel stability under straight-line acceleration, reducing the risk of spin-outs. Drag-Torque Slip Control addresses rear wheel slip caused by abrupt throttle reductions or downshifts, particularly valuable on wet or slippery surfaces. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts riders to irregular air pressure, which supports both performance and tire longevity.
Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements further adapt these systems by accounting for lean angle and lateral acceleration. The Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control System, and Drag-Torque Slip Control adjust automatically during cornering to maintain balance. These systems allow the motorcycle to remain composed while navigating complex turns or unstable surfaces, ensuring a higher level of predictability.
