What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST

Lawless Harley-Davidson® - What to Know About the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® ST brings unapologetic West Coast style together with long-mile capability, resulting in a sport-touring machine that feels equally at home carving mountain switchbacks as it does stretching across state lines. With a frame-mounted fairing for stability, a slim solo seat for control, and the latest rider tech within easy view, this is a motorcycle built to reward confident riders who want performance, presence, and purpose in one seamless package.
Harley-Davidson® sharpened the Low Rider® ST with thoughtful updates that matter on real roads. LED lighting increases visibility and modernizes the bike’s stance, while premium paint and retro-inspired graphics tie today’s engineering to the brand’s storied design DNA. The lightweight fairing is shaped for aerodynamic efficiency, and the tall rear monoshock ups cornering clearance so the chassis stays composed when the ride gets spirited.
- Engine: Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. delivers stronger mid-to-top power with a confidence-inspiring, tractable torque curve.
- Fairing: Frame-mounted and CFD-informed to enhance stability and reduce buffeting at highway speeds.
- Ride Modes: Three selectable modes pair with Rider Safety Enhancements to tailor throttle response and intervention.
- Display: Four-inch instrumentation combines an analog speedometer with a multifunction digital readout for key ride data.
- Lighting: LED headlamp, turn signals, and redesigned taillight improve visibility and modern road presence.
- Intake and Exhaust: Heavy Breather intake and two-into-one exhaust optimize flow and set the stage for customization.
- Charging: USB-C port keeps devices powered for navigation, music, and communication on the go.
On the road, the new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 H.O. builds speed with satisfying urgency, inviting you to hold a gear longer as the power swells through the midrange and continues pulling on top. The two-into-one exhaust complements that delivery with a clean, purposeful line and room-conscious saddlebag symmetry. Suspension geometry and the raised rear contribute to crisp turn-in and planted exits, while the solo seat keeps you braced during acceleration and supported over distance.
- Daily rider appeal: Slim ergonomics, intuitive hand controls, and responsive power make urban commutes and weekend blasts equally engaging.
- Touring potential: The frame-mounted fairing, charging capability, and efficient cockpit layout support extended days in the saddle.
- Customization mindset: From luggage solutions to performance add-ons, the platform invites riders to tailor fit, function, and style.
Tech integration is purposeful. The four-inch display brings ride-critical info front and center, including gear position and tire pressure monitoring, and the new hand controls make Ride Mode selection second nature. Thoughtful touches, like a repositioned flash-to-pass switch and adjustable brake lever, help the Low Rider® ST feel dialed the moment you roll away. It is an authentic Harley-Davidson® experience shaped for modern performance and everyday usability.
