In a move that’s grabbing the attention of cruiser bike lovers across the globe, Harley-Davidson has officially unveiled the Low Rider S 2025 Edition. Known for its aggressive styling, raw power, and West Coast-inspired attitude, the new Low Rider S doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it refines its formula with subtle, but meaningful, upgrades.
And Indian bike enthusiasts—especially those drawn to Harley’s iconic muscle identity—have plenty to look forward to.
The Core Identity Remains: Performance-Centric Cruiser
Harley-Davidson’s Low Rider S has long been positioned as a power cruiser with a no-nonsense look and strong road presence. The 2025 edition continues to use the proven Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine, which produces robust torque and effortless power delivery. The same 1,923cc motor returns, ensuring this year’s model retains its title as one of Harley’s most performance-oriented cruisers.
The engine setup provides smooth highway cruising and excellent low-end grunt—ideal for both weekend rides and long-distance runs. With six-speed transmission and belt final drive, the Low Rider S maintains Harley’s signature blend of muscle and comfort.
Subtle Changes That Matter
Rather than a complete overhaul, Harley has opted for refinement. The 2025 Low Rider S sees tweaks that may seem minor on paper but could translate to a better riding experience on the road. This includes updated ride modes, slight revisions to ergonomics, and improved seat padding for long-haul comfort.
Additionally, the suspension gets a mild retune to better manage Indian road conditions—especially welcome for riders who often hit uneven terrain outside urban areas. These upgrades target feedback Harley received from international markets, where the Low Rider S has found a loyal fan base.
Styling Tweaks for the Modern Rider
Harley has also introduced new paint schemes, including a stealthy “Obsidian Black” and a rich metallic “Burnished Bronze” finish. The dark, menacing design language remains, with blacked-out components and a sharp headlamp cowl contributing to the overall muscular look.
The fuel tank retains the iconic teardrop shape, now featuring updated tank graphics that subtly separate the 2025 model from its predecessor. The minimalist approach is clear—this bike continues to celebrate the essence of performance without unnecessary flair.
Digital Touches, Still Rooted in Classic Feel
The digital instrumentation, introduced in recent models, carries over. Riders get a compact but informative display embedded in the handlebar riser. It shows speed, gear position, fuel level, range, and tachometer data. No large TFT screens or flashy displays here—Harley keeps it simple and old-school, aligning with the Low Rider’s rugged vibe.
Harley hasn’t yet gone full smart-tech on this model. There’s no built-in navigation or ride analytics, but the essentials are in place. This could be a deliberate move to preserve the soul of traditional riding while giving just enough modern convenience.
India Launch and Expected Pricing
While Harley-Davidson India hasn’t announced an official launch date yet, the 2025 Low Rider S is expected to arrive on Indian shores by late 2025, possibly via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route. Given its premium positioning, the pricing is likely to hover around ₹20–₹22 lakh (ex-showroom).
The bike will mainly appeal to seasoned riders who value power cruising, American heritage, and bold road presence over tech-heavy features. It’s a niche market, but one that Harley knows well.

Final Thoughts: Familiar Muscle With a Modern Edge
The Harley-Davidson Low Rider S 2025 is not about dramatic transformations. It sticks to what it knows best—muscular performance, stripped-down looks, and that unmistakable Harley charisma. The minor updates suggest Harley is listening to its global rider base without compromising the core of what makes the Low Rider S unique.
For Indian enthusiasts who crave a machine that looks mean, rides hard, and feels authentic, the 2025 edition could be worth the wait. It’s not a revolution, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s Harley doing Harley—just a little better than before.
