2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST: DRAW OUTSIDE OF THE LINES.

Introducing the 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST…

When you realize the line between “too far” and “not far enough” doesn’t exist, you’ve found the 2026 Low Rider ST.

A Bike That Crosses Every Line and Keeps Going
The performance pedigree of the 2026 Low Rider ST shows up in every detail. From its FXRT-inspired fairing and special touches on the chrome and black trim that nod to its roots, to the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output motor, performance-tuned suspension, Heavy Breather intake, and performance 2-into-1 exhaust, it’s designed for life on the limiter. Oh, and USB-C charging comes standard.

“ It’s fast, it’s loud, and it handles better than anything I’ve ever ridden. What more can you say?”

Run Wide Open With The Milwaukee-Eight 117 H.O. Motor

Performance-Tuned Heavy Breather intake
The forward-facing Heavy Breather intake forces more air into the motor, helping deliver stronger combustion and more torque that you can feel. More air, more fuel, more spark… That’s how you make more power.

 

Hand Controls of Your Dreams
Ergonomic and performance-minded hand controls make everything quicker and more intuitive. Ride Modes are right under your thumb, the flash-to-pass switch sits where your finger naturally falls, and the adjustable brake lever helps you fine-tune feel and response.

RIDER SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS
Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements is all about giving you that extra peace of mind when things get a little unpredictable. It’s a set of smart tech that steps in during tricky situations, helping the bike handle traction while you’re accelerating, braking, or slowing down. With the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, the bike even adjusts for cornering, keeping things smooth and steady without you having to think twice.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.

Traction Control System (TCS)
The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence.

Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS)
DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS alerts the rider through the information display to low or high tire air pressure. Maintaining proper tire air pressure is important both for vehicle performance and tire life.

Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS)
C-ABS is a variant of ABS that takes into consideration the lean angle of a two-wheel motorcycle, or the lateral acceleration of a Trike model. The brake pressure required to limit wheel slip when cornering is typically or lower than the pressure required under straight line operation.

Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.

Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)
On bikes equipped with C-DSCS, the system helps keep the rear wheel from slipping or locking up when you quickly downshift or let off the throttle, especially on wet or slippery roads. When turning, it can adjust based on how much a two-wheel bike is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
