Nightster™ Special
DESIGN
Blacked-out finishes set apart the Nightster Special with a menacing attitude straight from the factory. Vintage styling hints at decades of Sportster® history, while a load-bearing engine and updated chassis design provide radically new performance and ease of handling.
Blacked-Out Revolution® Max 975T Engine
High-revving, liquid-cooled V-twin power, completely blacked-out for a subtly aggressive look with contrasting matte and gloss finishes.
Vintage Styling
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.
Lightweight + Agile
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 225 kg it is one of our lightest and most agile motorcycles.
Two-Up Riding
Bring someone along for the ride with the standard passenger pillion pad and footpegs, or easily remove them for a stripped-down solo look.
Fairing + LED Lights
The West Coast-inspired headlight mini-fairing reduces fatigue by directing wind away from the rider's body, while LED lighting lets you see and be seen on the road.
PERFORMANCE
Quick-revving power available wherever you want it, a low center of gravity for nimble handling and easy maneuverability, and tech to help maximize your ride, not interrupt it.
Two-Into-One Exhaust
Sweeping exhaust line with high-flowing performance, blacked-out style, and a tuned V-twin exhaust note.
Dual Outboard Rear Shocks
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.
Highrise Handlebars
127 mm risers with easy-to-reach handlebars put the rider in a comfortable, confident, upright riding position.
Airbox +Intake
High-performance downdraft intake is made possible by moving the gas tank beneath the seat, while the intake and air cover sit above the Revolution® Max 975T engine.
INNOVATION
A brilliant, Bluetooth®-enabled 102 mm TFT display keeps you connected—whether that means listening to music, quickly changing ride modes, or tuning Rider Safety Enhancements.
Full Color 102 mm LCD Display
A full-color, 102 mm 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.
Ride Modes
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.
