Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2020 Harley-Davidson Superlow, a quintessential entry in the custom-cruiser category that perfectly embodies the spirit of freedom and individuality that Harley-Davidson is known for. With its low-slung design and classic styling, the Superlow offers an approachable ride for both new and experienced riders alike. It's designed for those who crave the open road, combining the comfort of a cruiser with the nimble handling and performance that make it a joy to ride in any urban or country setting. At the heart of the Superlow lies a powerful 883cc V2 engine, delivering 52.3 horsepower at 5750 RPM and a robust torque of 74.58 Nm at 3750 RPM. This four-stroke engine is equipped with an electronic sequential port fuel injection system, ensuring smooth power delivery and efficient fuel consumption—an impressive 4.60 liters per 100 kilometers, or about 51.13 miles per gallon. The 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive provide a seamless riding experience, allowing riders to effortlessly shift through gears while cruising at highway speeds or navigating through city traffic. Coupled with its lightweight frame, weighing in at just 247 kg (544.5 lbs), the Superlow promises a responsive and exhilarating ride, whether you’re embarking on a long-distance trip or a quick jaunt around town. The Superlow is loaded with features that enhance both comfort and safety. With a seat height of just 648 mm (25.5 inches), it’s one of the most accessible models in the Harley lineup, making it ideal for shorter riders or those seeking an easy-to-manage bike. The ABS-equipped single-disc brakes at the front and rear provide confidence-inspiring stopping power, while the telescopic fork and twin shock rear suspension ensure a smooth ride over various terrains. The bike is available in striking color options including Vivid Black and Barracuda Silver, and it comes equipped with an alarm system for added security. **
