The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is designed as a performance-focused sport-touring motorcycle that integrates heritage styling with modern engineering. This model combines a Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output V-Twin engine, a frame-mounted aerodynamic fairing, advanced suspension systems, and a full suite of safety and technology features. Built with precision in both design and performance, it provides a comprehensive package that supports both long-distance travel and aggressive handling situations.
Engine Output and Performance Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output V-Twin engine, a configuration that produces 114 horsepower along with 128 ft-lb of torque. The redline is extended to 5,900 rpm, providing a broader range for acceleration and sustained performance. Fuel economy is measured at 47 miles per gallon, ensuring efficiency across both city and highway conditions.
The intake system includes a forward-facing Heavy Breather design that maximizes airflow while extending the intake tract length to improve charging efficiency and peak torque. This system is paired with a redesigned two-into-one exhaust that balances flow characteristics and delivers a symmetrical appearance with the saddlebags. The combination of these systems allows for improved mid-range and top-end performance.
The rear suspension incorporates a tall monoshock that increases cornering clearance and improves handling stability in demanding riding conditions. The front suspension uses a 43-millimeter inverted fork that provides both rigidity and improved steering precision. Stopping power is delivered through dual front brakes with 300-millimeter discs, giving reliable and consistent braking force. Michelin® Scorcher® 31 tires are fitted for optimal road contact and traction, further enhancing confidence when accelerating, cornering, or braking.
Frame-Mounted Aerodynamic Fairing
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST integrates modern aerodynamic solutions with recognizable styling. The frame-mounted fairing, inspired by classic FXRT designs, has been engineered using computational fluid dynamics to optimize airflow and stability at higher speeds. This results in reduced turbulence for the rider while maintaining consistent aerodynamic performance.
The lighting system consists of a 5.75-inch LED headlamp, redesigned LED taillight, and LED turn signals. These components improve forward illumination, increase rear visibility, and provide clear signaling. The slim solo seat is positioned at a laden height of 27 inches, engineered to secure the rider during acceleration and cornering.
Premium paint and retro-inspired graphics emphasize the design heritage, while multiple trim and color options allow for distinct customization. Black trim offers finishes in Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Brilliant Red, Iron Horse Metallic, and Midnight Firestorm. Chrome trim is available in Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, and Blue Burst. Lockable saddlebags provide approximately two cubic feet of storage space, adding functional utility for longer rides.
Advanced Rider Integration and Instrumentation
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST includes multiple systems that connect the rider with the motorcycle’s functions in an intuitive way. Three ride modes are available, allowing adjustment of throttle response and traction management characteristics to match conditions or rider preference.
The instrumentation system combines an analog speedometer with a four-inch digital display. This multi-function display provides information on ride modes, tire pressure monitoring status, gear position, and other vehicle metrics. Hand controls have been redesigned with a repositioned flash-to-pass switch placed near the left forefinger, along with an adjustable brake lever for improved ergonomics.
USB-C charging capability is integrated to support modern connectivity requirements. This allows riders to maintain charge for navigation devices, mobile phones, or Bluetooth® communication headsets during extended operation.
Comprehensive Rider Safety Enhancements
Harley-Davidson® equips this model with an extensive package of Rider Safety Enhancements. These systems operate seamlessly in the background to provide improved control and stability in both straight-line and cornering scenarios.
The Anti-lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during urgent braking in a straight line. The Traction Control System regulates rear-wheel spin during acceleration, ensuring predictable grip. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System reduces rear-wheel slip during rapid downshifts or throttle roll-off events, particularly on low-traction surfaces. Tire Pressure Monitoring alerts the rider to over- or under-inflation conditions directly through the digital display.
Cornering-enhanced variations of these systems adapt their operation based on lean angle. The Cornering Anti-lock Brake System modifies brake pressure application to prevent wheel slip during leaned braking. The Cornering Traction Control System manages excessive wheel spin when accelerating while cornering. The Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System provides stability during deceleration on curved road surfaces, preventing rear-wheel lock and maintaining a smooth line.
These safety technologies provide a structured layer of assistance without requiring rider intervention, supporting both everyday operation and more advanced riding conditions.
Touring-Oriented Engineering
In addition to its performance characteristics, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is configured for extended rides with integrated comfort and storage features. The frame-mounted fairing minimizes wind buffeting during long-distance operation. The slim solo seat supports rider stability, while ergonomics are tuned for a forward but secure position that remains comfortable during extended periods.
Lockable saddlebags provide secure storage for gear or travel essentials. LED lighting ensures visibility across a range of riding environments, including nighttime or poor weather conditions. The suspension calibration balances aggressive handling with stability during long-distance travel, giving the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST dual capability as both a performance motorcycle and a capable sport-touring machine.
