Low Rider S FXLRS 2022
2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S: HIGH-PERFORMANCE 117 V-TWIN.
Introducing the 2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S…
An aggressive performance kingpin designed for the unapologetic power-hungry rider. An everything black overload, paired with a deep solo seat for lone-wolf attitude. Top it off with a high-performance Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine with precision oil/air cooling is the new pinnacle of torque and displacement in a factory-installed Harley-Davidson® powertrain.
A blacked-out, factory custom performance cruiser.
The Low Rider S model is a cruiser designed for riders seeking unapologetic power and willing to push their bike to the limit. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain produces five percent more torque than Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine that powers the 2021 Low Rider S model, and gives its owner instant bragging rights. Premium suspension enhances the riding experience. Straight from the factory this bike bundles the big attitude of West Coast style and unrelenting performance previously only attainable with significant investment in accessories.
The 2022 Low Rider S model is equipped with a new handlebar-mounted combination analog tachometer/digital speedometer, which replaces the tank console instruments as seen on previous Low Rider S models. The handlebar location places the gauge closer to the rider’s line of sight. A low-profile textured black tank console with FXLRS badge now tops the fuel tank. Outstanding lighting performance is provided by a signature LED headlamp and LED tail/brake lights.
The same taller rear monoshock featured on the Low Rider ST model raises the rear of the Low Rider S model for improved ride comfort and 1.3 degrees more lean angle than the previous Low Rider S model for enhanced ground clearance and improved rider confidence during aggressive cornering. Under-seat hydraulic pre-load adjustment allows the rider to maintain optimal suspension performance for the prevailing load and road conditions. A 43mm inverted fork with single-cartridge internal technology stiffens the front end for a responsive ride and improved braking and handling performance. Fork rake is 28-degrees. Dual front brakes with 300mm discs deliver the responsive braking demanded by aggressive riders, with standard ABS (antilock braking system) for confident braking performance when conditions are less than ideal. Michelin® Scorcher® 31 tires enhance ride and handling.
Other features include these key West Coast styling elements: A one-inch diameter moto bar on four-inch tall risers, a deep solo seat, mid-mount foot controls, and a color-matched mini speed screen fairing that frames the headlamp and blocks the wind when chasing down the freeway. The powertrain, front end and exhaust are totally blacked out, with Radiate cast-aluminum wheels (19-inch front and 16-inch rear diameter) finished in Matte Dark Bronze to contrast the motorcycle’s dark components.

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine and moto-style drag bars
Low Rider S and Low Rider ST Models
The Low Rider S and new Low Rider ST models offer the taut handling performance of the Harley-Davidson Softail chassis and the V-Twin muscle of a Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain.
“Our customers truly inspire us and the Low Rider ST was born from seeing the incredible builds at motorcycle shows around the world,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design. “We took the iconic Motor Company design from the Eighties and gave it a new identity with a modern echo. Add the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, a taller suspension and raised saddlebags and the Low Rider ST delivers both a dynamic visual package as well as a dramatic performance punch.”
The Low Rider S model is a performance cruiser kingpin designed for the rider seeking unapologetic power. The new Low Rider ST model offers the versatility of hard bags and a new frame-mounted fairing, plus an available Harley-Davidson Audio system powered by Rockford Fosgate.
MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 117 V-TWIN
The new pinnacle of torque and displacement with a factory-installed powertrain. Precision oil/air cooling. 168 Nm of torque at 3500 RPM. Tuned heavy breather intake and high flow exhaust maximize engine performance, a boost you can feel with every twist of the throttle.
BLACKED OUT WITH SOLO SEAT
The powertrain, primary cover, triple clamps, top clamp, rear fender supports and tank console are finished in Wrinkle Black; the derby cover, intake, lower rocker covers and handlebar riser are Gloss Black. The handlebar is Satin Black. The forks are anodized black. Mufflers and exhaust shields are Jet Black. An everything black overload, paired with a deep solo seat for lone-wolf attitude.
HANDLEBARS
One-inch moto handlebar mounted on four-inch risers gives the overall look of the bike a Coastal style element that puts the rider in an aggressive posture on the bike.
