Why Softail® Bikes Continue to Rule
The Softail motorcycles are the winning combination of the classic cruiser style with cutting-edge technology that today’s riders seek. In the last 3 decades, Harley-Davidson has continued to surpass expectations with each new release. The hidden rear monoshock suspension of the softails makes for an uber-smooth driving experience with no jarring movement, while still paying tribute to the hallowed Harley look. You also have the added bonus of upgrading and accessorizing your bike without interfering with the rider’s mechanics.
The Classic Harley® Look & Feel Combined with World Class Engineering
The counterbalanced engines of these classic motorcycles minimize overall vibrations, making these cruisers your ultimate companion for the open road. The new Softail models are up to 35 pounds lighter than the previous year’s models and the chassis is 34% stiffer, which provides quick and precise response to rider input. Riding so hard never felt so simple!
The Ultimate Cruiser Experience
Experience the pulse-quickening power with faster turn-ins, easier liftoffs, and more flick-ability with the brand new Milwaukee-Eight® 107 and 114 engines. These classic Harley motorcycles pack in quite the punch with their old school, bad boy look while delivering a world-class performance. Each Softail lineup goes a notch higher in terms of riding performance and unleashes the adventurer within.
Designed to be incredibly smooth with responsive handling and a refined counter-balancing system that cancels out engine vibration while idle, the Harley cruiser still manages to maintain that genuine Harley feel. The high performance front suspension enhances the racing-style cartridge fork for even more reduced weight and linear damping characteristics. The high-performance mono shock allows up to 220 kilos of pre-load capacity, flexible cornering, and enhanced acceleration and braking while continuing to maintain the classic hardtail look.
Living Up to Changing Needs & Times
In the 1980s, the Harley Davidson Softail family had pulled the company out of an economic slump and then gone on to become one of the most iconic products to come out of the Harley Davidson factory.
Harley cruisers have been a mainstay in the industry since the 1900s and continue to make their presence felt in the biking world. The Harley Softail motorcycles are a testament to the evolution of Harley with changing times and needs. These are lighter bikes, easier to handle and with a smoother shift. The superior styling and excellent handling are what make these cruisers every biker’s dream rig. There are nine Softail models for you to choose from. Each option combines hard-riding performance with an unparalleled aesthetic: an altogether more powerful lineup with more control.
