With a starting MSRP of $10,749, this bike is an accessible entry point into the legendary Harley heritage, appealing to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts who appreciate its minimalist aesthetic and robust capabilities. At the heart of the Iron 883 lies the iconic Evolution engine, boasting an 883cc displacement that delivers a spirited 51 horsepower at 6,000 RPM.

The classic styling is complemented by a robust chassis featuring a rake of 30 degrees and a trail of 117 mm, providing stability and confidence in corners. Front and rear disc brakes (with optional ABS) ensure dependable stopping power, while the telescopic front fork and twin shock rear suspension deliver a comfortable ride over various road conditions. With a seat height of just 25.7 inches, the Iron 883 caters to riders of all sizes, making it easy to plant your feet firmly on the ground at stops. Available in striking color options such as Black Denim, Gunship Gray, and White Sand Pearl, this motorcycle is designed to turn heads while you cruise. **
