The Superlow, as its name implies, boasts a seat height of just 695 mm (27.4 inches) unladen, which sinks down to 648 mm (25.5 inches) with a rider aboard. Ideal then for those with shorter legs, or indeed for anyone who just likes to be able to plant both feet firmly on the floor.
Changes over the Roadster have all been made improve handling, comfort and manoeuvrability, especially at low speed. These include a lighter feeling front end, which is combined with an 18” front wheel, and revised suspension geometry. At the rear, the suspension is lowered, but it has been given a longer travel to maintain ride quality.
There’s also a bespoke final drive ratio for the Superlow. This is geared towards smoothness, again with the aim of increasing rider confidence. Similarly, the footrest position and design of the handlebars have been altered too. Nevertheless, it’s still quite a heavy bike, weighing in at 260 kg ready to ride.
UK prices for the Harley-Davidson Superlow start at £6,150 on the road. For that, it comes with Vivid Black paintwork. Colour options are Cool Blue Pearl, costing an extra £150, or the Merlot Sunglo / Vivid Black and Birch White / Sedona Orange two-tone finishes. They take the price of the bike up to £6,550.
