A High-Mount Exhaust That Delivers Flat-Track Racing Thrills

A Modern Chassis Design that Ensures Precise Handling

The new Sportster comes with a modern chassis design and dual-purpose powertrain. By eliminating the traditional frame, the new chassis significantly reduces the bike's overall weight while ensuring precise handling. The chassis is designed to be super rigid with a lower center of gravity to improve performance on the road. It also has premium dual Brembo M4.32 monobloc front brakes with new lightweight hollow 4-piston calipers. 

A cornering ABS feature also comes standard with the newest Harley Sportster to help you confidently navigate turns at speed by modulating brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup if you underestimate a turn. A new Michelin Scorcher 31 130/80 R17 60V front tire and new Michelin Scorcher 31 180/55 R17 80V rear tire work in harmony with Showa 49mm forks and rear shocks to enhance grip in all conditions while still providing dynamic cornering ability and low-effort steering at slow speeds. 

Choose Your Ride Mode With Rider-Assist Technology

The new 2022 Harley Davidson Sportster comes with the latest rider-assist technology. This new technology offers three Ride Modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) and the opportunity to create a custom mode. This allows you to tune your new Harley Sportster's power delivery, Cornering Enhanced Anti Lock Braking System (C-ABS), engine braking, and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) settings. 

With these pre-programmed modes, riders get to enjoy the best possible experience while riding the new Sportster. Whether you're looking for a relaxed ride or an adrenaline-pumping experience, the new Sportster S has you covered.
