Harley-Davidson Sportster models 2019

The Sportster family

Product portfolio

Powerful power, easy handling, a slim look and classic strength of character have always been among the strengths of the Sportster models. They are appreciated by beginners because they make joining the big Harley-Davidson family easy, and praised by experienced bikers because they offer a high level of riding fun.

An air-cooled Evolution V2 engine with a transmission integrated into the crankcase provides propulsion in every Sportster.

Depending on the model, it has a displacement of 883 or 1202 cm3. Oil nozzles provide additional cooling for the pistons. Harley-Davidson integrated the engine with a low center of gravity and decoupled from vibrations in the torsion-resistant Sportster double-loop tubular steel frame.

The rear suspension is a sturdy square two-arm swing arm with side-mounted spring struts, while the front wheel is guided by a stiff telescopic fork. An exception is the Roadster with its upside-down telescopic fork.
