Overview
The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is a sporty cruiser that blends classic American muscle with modern technology and aggressive styling. It’s a departure from the older Sportster lineup and is aimed at younger riders seeking performance while still enjoying that iconic Harley charm.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Price
The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is priced at Rs 16,70,000 (ex-showroom, India).
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Colours
The 2025 model of the Sportster S is offered in four colour options: Billiard Grey, Vivid Black, Brilliant Red, and Mystic Shift.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Variants
Harley-Davidson offers the 2025 Sportster S in a single variant only.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Design
The Sportster S has a radical design language, especially for a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It features a low, drag-style stance with a flat handlebar, chunky tyres, compact tail section, and a fat fork. Its short, high-mounted exhaust gives it a distinctive look.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Engine
Powering the Sportster S is a 1252cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine shared with the Pan America 1250. This motor delivers 122PS at 7,500rpm and a whopping 125Nm at 6,000rpm. The claimed fuel efficiency stands at 19.61kmpl, which is decent for a performance cruiser of this size.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Features
The Sportster S comes with a 4-inch full-colour TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and music control. All lighting is LED, including the unique capsule-shaped headlamp. The rider aids include cornering ABS, cornering traction control, engine brake control, tyre pressure monitoring, and wheelie/rear-wheel lift mitigation.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Chassis, Brakes, Wheels, Suspension
The suspension setup on the Sportster S is fully adjustable, with a 43mm Showa USD fork up front and a piggyback monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a single disc with a radial calliper at the front and a single rear disc. It rides on a 160-section 17-inch front and a 180-section 16-inch rear tyre with alloy wheels. The bike has a low 765mm seat height, an 11.7-litre fuel tank, and weighs 228kg (kerb), making it relatively manageable for a heavyweight cruiser.
Harley-Davidson Sportster S Competition
In India, the Sportster S competes with other high-end muscle cruisers and performance roadsters such as the Indian Scout Bobber, Triumph Speed Twin 1200, and even the Suzuki Katana for those looking for performance in a unique package. Despite being priced slightly higher than the Suzuki and the Speed Twin 1200, the Sportster S justifies its cost through its tech and standout design.

- ExperienceAmazing experience ofc its heavy and not for every type of road in Indian conditions. But it's an experience of its own to drive as the engine is so powerful and it's sounds loud and clear. It's design is cool as well but the best thing is the brand itself as they ensure safety and luxury at the same time. . .Read More
