Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2020 Harley-Davidson Superlow pairs a 883 cc (53.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 52.3 HP (38.2 kW) at 5,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 74.6 Nm (55 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 59.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (3,750 rpm) and peak power (5,750 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Superlow measures 258 kg (569 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 648 mm (25.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 370 km (230 miles) between fill-ups.
