With so many riders eyeing this machine, questions are bound to come up. We’re breaking down the top 10 most asked questions about the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S—so you can get the answers you need before you hit the road.
1. What’s New for the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S?
H-D® gave the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S a few key upgrades this year, focusing on both performance and rider comfort. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output engine now delivers even stronger low-end torque, hitting 128 ft-lb at 4,000 RPM. It’s got updated hand controls, a USB-C charging port, and cruise control as standard. These refinements make long rides more comfortable while keeping the bike’s raw, muscular performance intact.
2. How Does the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S Perform on New Port Richey’s Roads?
New Port Richey offers a mix of scenic routes and urban streets, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S thrives in both environments. The high-output V-twin engine responds instantly when you twist the throttle, making it perfect for quick takeoffs at traffic lights or pushing through open stretches on State Road 54. With its agile frame and raised suspension, it hugs the curves on roads like Bellamy Brothers Boulevard while still handling smoothly on the straightaways along US-19.
3. Is the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S Comfortable for Long Rides?
Absolutely. While it leans toward a performance-first build, H-D® has fine-tuned the rider triangle for better ergonomics. The mid-mount foot controls and moto-style handlebars place you in an aggressive yet manageable riding position. The tall monoshock rear suspension adds extra comfort, especially when dealing with uneven roads or long stretches of highway. With cruise control now included, long-distance rides become a lot easier.
4. What Kind of Rider is the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S Built For?
This bike is for riders who want a machine with attitude, speed, and unmistakable H-D® styling. If you like the mix of classic cruiser elements with modern performance and enjoy an aggressive riding stance, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S checks all the boxes. It’s built for riders who appreciate power at their fingertips and a design that turns heads wherever they go.
5. How Does It Compare to Other Softail® Models?
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S sits on the more aggressive end of the Softail® lineup. Compared to something like the H-D® Heritage Classic, which leans more toward touring comfort, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S is built for performance. It has a tighter rake, a higher rear suspension for better cornering, and more torque straight from the factory. It’s lighter and more nimble than some of the larger Softail® models but still delivers serious power.
6. What Are the Key Design Features That Stand Out?
H-D® nailed the West Coast club-style aesthetic with this bike. The blacked-out engine, tank, and exhaust give it a stealthy, aggressive look. Red accents on the intake, timing cover, and derby cover add a pop of contrast. The handlebar fairing gives it a signature look while also providing some wind deflection at highway speeds. It’s bold, muscular, and impossible to ignore.
7. How Does the Lighting System Improve Visibility?
The 5.75-inch LED headlamp throws out a strong, clear beam, making night rides safer and ensuring you’re seen in traffic. LED turn signals and taillights add to its visibility.
8. What's Fuel Efficiency Like?
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S isn’t built to sip fuel, but it’s efficient for its class. The 5-gallon tank and well-tuned Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. engine gives you a solid range before needing to refuel. While fuel economy depends on riding style, you can expect to get a decent stretch of road between fill-ups.
9. Can You Customize the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S?
H-D® is all about personalization, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S is no exception. Riders can swap out the seat or upgrade to taller bars. Performance tuning options are available for those looking to push the engine even further. With the vast selection of H-D® parts and accessories, making this bike your own is easy.
