2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST in Augusta, GA
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST offers a focused combination of design, power, and technology tailored for riders who demand performance and precision. This motorcycle integrates modern engineering with classic Harley-Davidson® aesthetics to provide a robust and agile ride. From the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. engine to the upgraded suspension and safety features, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is designed to meet the demands of serious riders who prioritize both functionality and style.
Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. Engine: Power and Performance
The core of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 High Output V-Twin engine. This engine is built for high-output performance, offering a substantial increase in power compared to its predecessors. Producing 114 horsepower and 128 ft-lb of torque, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. ensures that riders experience superior acceleration, improved mid-range power, and extended top-end performance.
One of the key aspects of this engine is its revised redline, which has been extended from 5,600 rpm to 5,900 rpm. This adjustment enables the engine to sustain higher speeds for longer periods without compromising performance. The engine also features a Heavy Breather Intake system, which increases airflow into the engine, allowing for improved combustion and greater torque output. The redesigned two-into-one exhaust system not only enhances the bike's visual symmetry but also complements the engine's performance characteristics, providing a cleaner exhaust flow and a more responsive throttle response.
Suspension System: Precision Handling
The suspension system of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST has been engineered with performance in mind. It is equipped with a 43mm inverted fork in the front, offering increased rigidity and more responsive handling. The fork design provides better feedback and stability when navigating corners at higher speeds. The tall monoshock rear suspension, which is adjustable, adds to the bike’s overall cornering capabilities by increasing clearance.
The front suspension works in tandem with dual front brakes, each featuring 300mm discs. This brake setup ensures effective stopping power, contributing to rider safety and confidence, especially during high-speed deceleration or emergency braking situations. The combination of responsive suspension and strong braking systems makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST a motorcycle capable of high-performance riding on both urban roads and winding backroads.
Aerodynamic Design: Form Meets Function
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST balances retro elements with modern engineering. The bike is equipped with a frame-mounted fairing, inspired by the FXRT Sport Glide® model. This fairing is designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize aerodynamics and reduce wind drag. The fairing’s purpose is to provide increased comfort at higher speeds by reducing wind resistance.
Additionally, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST features LED lighting, including a 146mm headlamp, redesigned taillight, and LED turn signals. The fairing, along with these lighting elements, provides an ideal balance between aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.
The bike's color options, including Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, and Brilliant Red, as well as its premium paint and retro-inspired graphics, highlight the brand’s design heritage. The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is intended to evoke a sense of classic custom style while integrating contemporary elements that appeal to modern riders.
Ride Modes and Digital Instrumentation: Customizable Experience
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST incorporates three selectable ride modes, enabling riders to adjust the bike’s performance characteristics to suit their preferences or current riding conditions. These ride modes, Rain, Road, and Sport, are accessible through the bike’s 4-inch instrument display, which includes a digital speedometer and multi-function display. This display provides crucial information such as gear position, tire pressure, and more. Riders can customize their riding experience by switching between modes that adjust the throttle response, traction control, and ABS settings, optimizing the bike for various road conditions.
The inclusion of a USB-C charging port offers added convenience for long rides. Riders can keep their devices powered for navigation, communication, or entertainment, without the need to stop and recharge. This feature ensures that riders remain connected and ready for the road ahead.
Rider Safety Enhancements: Intelligent Assistance for Better Control
Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements are integrated into the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST to improve control and stability in different riding conditions. These systems are designed to provide additional support when conditions become unpredictable, ensuring the bike remains stable during acceleration, braking, or cornering.
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST prevents wheel lock during hard braking, especially in straight-line braking situations. The Traction Control System (TCS) assists by preventing the rear wheel from spinning out when accelerating, particularly on slippery or uneven surfaces. For added protection during downshifts or deceleration, the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) adjusts the throttle response to prevent the rear wheel from locking under powertrain-induced deceleration.
The Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS) and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) are advanced variants of traditional ABS and TCS. These systems take into account the bike's lean angle during cornering, adjusting the braking and traction control dynamically to maintain optimal stability. Additionally, the Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS) ensures smooth deceleration even when cornering, further enhancing rider confidence in challenging conditions.
These safety features, combined with the bike's robust suspension and braking systems, create a safer and more controlled riding experience.
Customization Options and Storage Capacity
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST offers ample room for customization. The bike is available in two trims: Black and Chrome, with several color options, including Vivid Black, Billiard Gray, and Brilliant Red. This allows riders to select the aesthetic that best suits their personal style.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST is also equipped with lockable saddlebags, offering a total storage capacity of 2 cubic feet. This feature is designed for convenience, allowing riders to securely carry their essentials. The bags are designed to complement the bike's overall styling, providing a functional yet aesthetically pleasing solution for long-distance touring.
