A RIDE LESS ORDINARY

-

There’s nothing ordinary about the Low Rider ® S, a machine with styling that represents a modern take on the iconic Low Rider motorcycle­s of the 1980s SoCal cruiser scene.

Its blacked out styling underpins the aggressive stance realised by the 1in (25.4mm) diameter motocross-style handlebar mounted high on 4in risers. A speed screen nacelle fairing complement­s the look, which also happens to do a good job of deflecting passing air when the road ahead opens up.

Thanks to the Milwaukee-Eight ® 114cu in (1868cc) engine, performanc­e is a given, meaning that overtakes are swift and sure. Making the most of the Big-Twin engine is a Softail ® chassis tuned to give a fuss-free ride at any speed, on any road.

There is, however, another equally likeable side to the Low Rider S. It’s just as capable of delivering refined cruising to suit any mood or riding conditions, thanks to precise fuel-injection, modern electronic­s and running gear. The rigid tubular steel Low Rider S frame has 2° less steering rake than its Softail family members. The end result is sharp, quick, precise steering.

Coupled with inverted sports-derived front fork suspension and a tried and trusted rear monoshock, every twist and turn of tarmac soon becomes a distant memory. On the odd occasion when riding fun is interrupte­d, the ABS-assisted twin front brake set up nails stopping in a very reactive and powerful way. As with the rest of the Softail family, the Low Rider S is as striking at standstill as it is when carving up traffic straight out of the crate. But with almost limitless parts options, each machine can be customised for a truly unique style.
