<p>Harley-Davidson, the US-based auto manufacturer, has launched the 2023 version of its Sportster S motorbike in the Indian market for Rs 18.79 lakh (ex-showroom). The&nbsp;bike comes in just one fully loaded variant. The major highlights of the bike include its eye-catching design and a long list of electronic riding aids, which consist&nbsp;of a lean-sensitive traction control system. A 1,252cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine with a maximum power output of 120.6bhp provides the engine's power. To further personalise the two-wheeler, the company is also selling a wide range of accessories in our home market. In terms of hardware, the motorcycle's 43mm upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock are responsible for the suspension duties. Compression, rebound, and preload settings are adjustable on the front forks and rear monoshock. A single disc with a four-piston calliper at the front and a single rotor with a single-piston calliper at the back are responsible for the braking. Here are the other key details about the newly launched&nbsp;2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S.</p>

<h2>2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S: Styling and Colour Options</h2>

<p>The 2023 Sportster S's distinguished styling, which includes a single-pod headlight, a small fuel tank, a single-pod instrument cluster, a flat handlebar, a saddle designed exclusively for the rider, a twin-pod exhaust, and fat-profile tyres, has not changed. According to the manufacturer, the exhaust is made of 304-series stainless steel, which resists corrosion. The Revolution Max 1250T engine is completely visible thanks to the sparse use of body panels. A large selection of accessories will be available from <a href="https://www.autox.com/track-test/harley-davidson-nightster-track-test-111726/">Harley-Davidson</a> India to further customise the motorcycle.</p>

<p>It is important to note the motorcycle is offered in a single variant and four colour&nbsp;options: Vivid Black, White Sand Pearl, Grey Haze, and Bright Billiard Blue.

The least expensive on the lineup is the Vivid Black colour, which has a price tag of&nbsp;Rs 18.79 lakh (ex-showroom). The remaining&nbsp;colour options&nbsp;retail for Rs&nbsp;14,000 more than the Vivid Black paint scheme.</p>

<h2>2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S: Rivals</h2>

<p>The Indian Scout Bobber and the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster are just two of the rivals the updated cruiser bike faces off against.</p>


2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S Launched in India at Rs 18.79 Lakh

The 2023 Sportster S from Harley-Davidson has been launched in India at Rs 18.79 lakh (ex-showrooom). The model has a flat handlebar, a twin-tip stainless steel exhaust, a rider-only saddle and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank.

<p><strong>The new Sportster S is Harley Davidson’s idea of a road-going sport motorcycle. It borrows its engine from the Pan America 1250 and has key traits that can rival the updated Ducati Diavel 1260.</strong></p>

<p>The Harley Davidson Sportster S has been launched internationally. The motorcycle gets the company’s new Revolution Max engine, which comes with liquid-cooling DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshafts) and VVT (Variable Valve Timing). Despite the new mechanical updates, the Sportster S continues with Harley Davison’s traditional styling. Following are the highlights of the newly launched Harley Davidson Sportster S.</p>

<p><img alt="Harley Davison Sportster S Fuel Tank Details" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/07/Harley-Davison-Sportster-S-fuel-tank-details.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p><strong>Styling</strong></p>

<p>There is no doubt that it is an unconventional sports bike. In fact, it's more like hyper-cruisers or Sportsters, such as the Ducati Diavel 1260. The headlamp assembly exhibits similar styling as that of the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250. The tail is relatively shorter, which appears to be inspired by the Harley-Davidson XR750 flat tracker. This, in turn, largely exposes the rear wheel, adding to the naked look of the motorcycle.</p>

<p><img alt="Harley Davison Sportster S Side Shot Static" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/07/Harley-Davison-Sportster-S-side-shot-static.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p><strong>Engine</strong></p>

<p>The engine is the same 1,252cc Revolution Max 60-degree V-twin motor&nbsp;that powers the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250; however, its state of tune is different in both motorcycles. The power figures of the Sportster S are rated at 119.3bhp and 127.4Nm, which are substantially lower than that of the Pan America 1250. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission, and the power is forwarded to the wheel via a belt-drive system.</p>

<p><img alt="Harley Davison Sportster S Front Thrree Quarter Motion" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/07/Harley-Davison-Sportster-S-front-thrree-quarter-motion.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p><strong>Cycle parts</strong></p>

<p>The Sportster S shares its engine with its ADV sibling, but its cycle parts are more in line with street-going motorcycles. The Sportster S gets Showa 43mm fully-adjustable USD forks and a Showa rear pre-load adjust mono-shock. For braking, the Sportster S uses a 320mm rotor with a Brembo radial monoblock four-piston calliper at the front and a 260mm rotor with a two-piston Brembo calliper at the back. The five-spoke alloy wheels are shod with the Dunlop/Harley-Davidson Series GT503 rubber.</p>

<p><img alt="Harley Davison Sportster S Rear Three Quarter Static" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/07/Harley-Davison-Sportster-S-rear-three-quarter-static.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p><strong>Electronics&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>There is an IMU-based safety net on the new Sportster, which includes cornering ABS and traction control. The motorcycle also gets five riding modes&nbsp;– three preset modes&nbsp;(Sport, Road and Rain) and two customisable modes. An all-new instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity takes the centre stage on the dash.</p>

<p><img alt="Harley Davison Sportster S Instrument Cluster" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/07/Harley-Davison-Sportster-S-instrument-cluster.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p><strong>India launch</strong></p>

<p>Harley Davidson launched the Pan America 1250 in India in April. The new Sportster S is expected to arrive in the country in the coming months. Internationally, the Sportster S is priced at $14,999 ( around Rs 11.20 lakh). Harley Davidson India has not confirmed the launch of the 2021 Sportster S anytime soon, but we reckon that the American motorcycle company will not miss a chance to rival the BS6 Ducati Diavel 1260.</p>
