At a Glance
Into a new dawn
With classic Sportster® form and modern function, the nimble Nightster has a low center of gravity, rider-focused tech, and a high-revving, liquid-cooled Revolution® Max 975T V-twin engine.
DESIGN
Cast wheels and LED lighting improve performance with style, and a fully blacked-out powertrain complements the bold vintage tank medallion and nostalgic Sportster® silhouette.
Blacked-Out Revolution® Max 975T Engine
All-black finishes adorn the high-revving, liquid-cooled Revolution Max 975T powertrain, which puts out 91 horsepower and 72 ft-lb. of torque.
Low Seat Height
27-inch seat height means easier step-over, a lower center of gravity for improved handling, and more confident flat-footed stops.
Lightweight + Agile
With a load-bearing engine and under-seat gas tank, this bike sheds weight and centers mass for nimble handling and easy kickstand lift. At 481 lbs., it is one of our lightest and most agile motorcycles.
Vintage Styling
“Sportster®” is one of the most iconic names in motorcycling, and the Nightster keeps its spirit alive with classic styling, including a vintage tank medallion that nods back to the original form.
LED Lighting
LED brake light and turn signals are bright and visible from a far distance, and an LED headlight shines a wide beam of bright white light across the whole road.
Aluminum Cast Wheels
Cast aluminum seven-spoke wheels are high style and low maintenance, and they reduce unsprung weight for improved handling.
