Into a new dawn.
All-black finishes adorn the high-revving, liquid-cooled Revolution Max 975T powertrain, which puts out 91 horsepower and 72 ft-lb. of torque.
27-inch seat height means easier step-over, a lower center of gravity for improved handling, and more confident flat-footed stops.
With a load-bearing engine and under-seat gas tank, this bike sheds weight and centers mass for nimble handling and easy kickstand lift. At 481 lbs., it is one of our lightest and most agile motorcycles.
“Sportster®” is one of the most iconic names in motorcycling, and the Nightster keeps its spirit alive with classic styling, including a vintage tank medallion that nods back to the original form.
LED brake light and turn signals are bright and visible from a far distance, and an LED headlight shines a wide beam of bright white light across the whole road.
Cast aluminum seven-spoke wheels are high style and low maintenance, and they reduce unsprung weight for improved handling.
Dual outboard shocks and the traditional rear fender make it unmistakably Sportster®, while next-generation performance takes the iconic name further than ever before.
A steel cover replaces the classic Sportster® peanut tank and hides a high-performance downdraft intake beneath.
A high-performance, lightweight two-into-one exhaust system carries a traditional line with peak modern performance and tuned V-twin sound.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)Included: ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation. | TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)Included: The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence. |
DRAG-TORQUE SLIP CONTROL SYSTEM (DSCS)Included: DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces. |
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle, an off-highway motor vehicle or a recreational marine vessel can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle or vessel in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle or vessel.
