The bags can be opened with one hand by a seated rider, and a damping device allows the saddlebag lids to open smoothly. The lockable, rigid saddlebags feature a sleek clam-shell design that makes them easy to load and unload. A six-inch high windshield has a Dark Smoke tint, and the fairing holds a single 5.75-inch LED headlamp. Triple fixed splitstream vents help limit rider head buffeting at highway speeds.
The shape of the new frame-mounted fairing was developed through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and real-world testing. The raised fitment of the saddlebags high above the exhaust reinforces the performance of the model – the message being that these bags will not limit lean angle when the bike is pushed to the limit.” The sharper creases and revised proportions in the Low Rider ST fairing provide a look that is intended to be modern, athletic and aerodynamically superior to the FXRT fairing. “With a dominant central headlamp flanked by side vents, the genetic connection to the original FXRT remains familiar. “A key element of this model is the frame-mounted fairing, which has a shape inspired by the classic FXRT Sport Glide model fairing favored by West Coast customizers,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design. When the road trip is over, simply pop off the saddlebags to convert the Low Rider ST model from cross-country mode to urban performance cruiser. The Low Rider ST model puts the rider in a commanding position on top of the bike, and the riding sensation is direct and reflexive. The saddlebags ride high and tight, the rear suspension is jacked up, the handlebar is high, and the FXRT-inspired fairing is frame-mounted. This is how Harley-Davidson does sport-touring, with style rooted in the California “tall bike” movement.

Nonetheless, since there’s no such thing as too much power, the Screamin’ Eagle catalog is already full of options to make the M8 117 flex its muscle even more, if that’s your thing. Horsepower numbers are actually down a little compared to the CVO and other ST models (more on those in a separate post), 103 hp at 4,750 rpm, but really, in the V-Twin world torque is what really counts anyway. The most powerful M8 engine to be fitted from the production line short of the CVO models, the 117ci (1923cc) air/oil cooled V-Twin boasts a healthy 125 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm for instant thrust the moment you twist the throttle. The round headlight on the S model, flanked by the minimal but obvious nacelle is a clear throwback, but look at the gas tank and you’ll see the font – including the drooped H in the name – is directly from the ’80s, too.Īll of those style elements give way to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin living down below. Then feast your gaze down to the wheels and the gold color adds a nice pop and contrast to the black features found mostly everywhere else. Fortunately for us, only one of those trends is making a comeback for 2022 (hint: not the hair). The black and gold combination reminds us of a time when long, curly perms were all the rage.
Style-wise, you get flashbacks of Harleys from the ’80s when looking at either of these bikes.
