2026
Sportster™ S
The 2026 Sportster S is what happens when you take a legend,
strip it to muscle and intent, and tune it to go harder,
lean sharper, and keep pulling long after
you should have called it a day.
COLOR OPTIONS
What Came Before, Refined for Now
With 121 HP from the liquid-cooled Revolution Max® 1250T motor, a wide front tire, 2-1-2 scrambler-style exhaust, and suspension tuned to optimize performance and rider comfort, the 2026 Sportster S reimagines classic styling with sharp, modern intent. Inspired by the iconic Sportster Forty-Eight, it channels Harley-Davidson heritage into a bike built to go harder, handle sharper, and look better doing it.
KEY FEATURES
Revolution Max 1250T Motor
The liquid-cooled 1250T puts out 121 horsepower with torque on tap, ready the moment you roll on.
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.
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.
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.
Round 4” TFT Infotainment
The round 4-inch 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.
