2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S First Look: Chrome Comeback

For a while now, Black has been where it’s at for Harley-Davidson fans. The dark look has a popular Trim choice that liberates an extra $1000 from the wallets of buyers. However, Chrome is making a comeback, and it’s now a Trim option on the 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S.

Everything we liked about last year’s updates returns on the 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S. The ripping Milwaukee-Eight 117 High Output motor is bolstered by a full suite of electronic rider aids. The inverted single-cartridge fork and twin front-disc braking lead the way on this sporting cruiser.

Check out our review of last year’s Low Rider S, which is mechanically identical to the 2026 edition.
