Unleashing the 2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser Lineup: Power, Performance, and Personalization

Harley-Davidson has redefined the cruiser experience for 2025, offering six thrilling models designed to cater to every rider's unique personality. Whether you seek nostalgia, high performance, or custom flair, this year's Softail lineup seamlessly blends classic design with modern innovation.

Milwaukee-Eight 117 Engine: Power at the Core

Each 2025 Softail model is powered by the latest Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine variants—Classic, Custom, and High-Output—engineered for improved power, economy, and emissions. With redesigned cylinder heads, an optimized intake system, and a new oil-cooled center cooling system, these engines deliver an enhanced riding experience, ensuring peak performance and durability.

Selectable Ride Modes & Rider Safety Enhancements


For the first time, all Harley-Davidson Cruiser models offer selectable ride modes, allowing riders to tailor their motorcycle's performance at the push of a button. Each mode adjusts power delivery, engine braking, and rider safety settings to match the road conditions and riding style. Standard safety enhancements across the lineup include:

  • Straight-line and cornering anti-lock braking system (ABS)
  • Straight-line and cornering traction control
  • Drag torque slip control
  • Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Enhanced Comfort and Ergonomics

The legendary Softail chassis has been refined to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness. The hidden rear suspension preserves the classic hardtail look while delivering a modern, smooth ride. Front and rear suspension improvements ensure better balance, reduced harshness over bumps, and enhanced handling under braking. Redesigned hand controls make ride mode selection, cruise control, and braking more intuitive, with adjustable brake levers for a customized feel.

Upgraded Technology & Connectivity


Harley-Davidson has introduced a new electrical architecture to support features such as ride modes, IMU-based cornering safety enhancements, and TPMS. Riders will also appreciate:

  • A new, highly readable instrument display featuring a tachometer, gear position indicator, ride mode icons, and heated grip temperature settings.
  • A USB-C power outlet and heated gear connectors for enhanced rider convenience.
