2026 Sportster® S*
Lines Drawn to Pull you In
A vintage tank medallion nods to the Sportster lineup’s past, while classic lines and a high-mount 2-1-2 exhaust pull from its racing roots. Blacked-out finishes, premium paint, and that fat front tire load the stance with muscle and intent.
Highlighted Cooling Fins + Blacked-Out Powertrain
New highlighted cooling fins and blacked-out finishes sharpen the look while keeping true to the lines of one of Harley-Davidson’s most beloved classic V-Twins
Vintage-Inspired Tank Medallion
The tank medallion wears the Sportster’s history proudly, etched into a design tuned for speed, precision, and purpose built into every line.
Premium Paint + Graphics
Premium paint colorways include White Onyx Pearl, Dark Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Blood Orange and Aurora Blue Denim. It’s the kind of paint you won’t want to spill gas on, that’s for sure.
Vintage-Inspired Styling
From its classic race-inspired tail to wheels that nod to the Forty-Eight model, the Sportster S carries its heritage like a badge of honor and backs it up with a stance built for the kind of riding that makes history all over again.
High-Mount 2-1-2 Exhaust
Inspired by flat-track racers, the high-mount 2-1-2 exhaust tucks in tight for aggressive cornering, and fires off a deep, commanding note built for the paddock, not the parkway.
Single Radial-Mount Brembo Front Brake
The radial-mount Brembo up front delivers the kind of precise, predictable stopping power you want when you’re pushing harder, braking later, and aiming for the next corner. Its sharp-edged design looks just as aggressive as it feels.
A Signature Fat Front Tire
The wide front tire gives the Sportster® S its aggressive stance and plants more rubber on the road for extra grip whether you’re carving through traffic or setting the tone on the highway.
Roll On and Take Off
The 121-horse Revolution Max 1250T delivers instant power, while retuned suspension and increased rear travel keep it planted and precise. Twist the throttle, and it answers with speed you can feel from head to toe.
Revolution Max 1250T Motor
The liquid-cooled 1250T puts out 121 horsepower with torque on tap, ready the moment you roll on
Rear Suspension Built to Do It All
With 3.5 inches (88.9 mm) of travel out back, the Sportster S shrugs off rough streets and stays planted where and when you need it, giving you more comfort when you’re cruising and when you’re charging.
Performance-Tuned Front Forks
Re-tuned front forks work with the upgraded rear suspension to keep the Sportster S razor-sharp in the corners and steady everywhere else.
More Tech Than the Ride Lets On
Multiple ride modes, integrated navigation, and cruise control all work quietly in the background. It’s advanced engineering built to disappear once the road takes over.
Round 4” (102 mm) TFT Infotainment
The round 4-inch (102 mm) TFT serves up maps, audio, and bike data in one clean view, ready the second you glance down and gone the second you look back up.
Control That Adapts to Your Ride
Cornering traction control and ABS keep the rubber hooked when you lean. Ride modes let you flip between Rain, Road, and Sport, or lock in a custom setup that fits your style. Out on the interstate, set cruise control and let the bike carry the miles for you.
“I don’t know what I was expecting from the Sportster S, but I’ve never had something keep me excited for my morning commute the way this bike does.”
