LEAN AND MEAN PERFORMANCE 
01
LIQUID COOLED REVOLUTION MAX 975 

Performance when you need it, the Revolution Max 975 engine is a liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned to make tremendous torque at low RPM, delivering strong acceleration from the start with robust power through the mid-range.

 

02
FRAME Nightster does not use a traditional hoop-style frame. Instead, the powertrain is used as a stressed member significantly reducing weight and resulting in a very stiff chassis. Each component has been designed to be compact, strong, and lightweight.
