Own the night.
High-revving, liquid-cooled V-twin power, completely blacked-out for a subtly aggressive look with contrasting matte and gloss finishes.
Flat line from the bottom of the gas tank through to the rear fender struts, with iconic peanut-shaped cover featuring a throwback ’70s tank graphic.
With a load-bearing engine and under-seat gas tank, this bike sheds weight and centers mass for agile handling and easy kickstand lift. At 483 lbs., it is one of our lightest and most agile motorcycles.
Sweeping exhaust line with high-flowing performance, blacked-out style, and a tuned V-twin exhaust note.
Dual outboard rear shocks give the Nightster Special that classic Sportster® line, tying it into decades of heritage while providing modern performance and riding comfort.
Five-inch risers with easy-to-reach handlebars put the rider in a comfortable, confident, upright riding position.
A full-color, four-inch display provides key information at a glance as well as quick and intuitive menu navigation when you are moving through Ride Modes, maps, and more.
Switch between three standard ride modes—Road, Rain, and Sport—or dial in two custom modes to instantly transform your ride. Road is your everyday setting, Sport ramps up power and response, and Rain smooths things out for slick roads.
Standard safety enhancements like ABS, TCS, and DSCS work in the background to maximize traction through braking and acceleration so you can keep your focus on the road.
