2026 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S

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.

Features may include:

  • 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

  • Revolution Max 1250T Motor

The liquid-cooled 1250T puts out 121 horsepower with torque on tap, ready the moment you roll on.

  • 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.
