At 218 kg wet with a low 688 mm seat height, the 2026 Nightster carries its weight where it counts: low, centered, and in your control. Add a blacked-out 975T Revolution Max™ motor, selectable ride modes, LED lighting, and legacy Sportster™ styling, and you’ve got an incomparably capable machine, no matter where you’re coming from.
Liquid-cooled, torque-rich, and quick to respond, the Revolution Max 975T puts down 89 HP with a fat power band you can feel every time you give it the beans.
Low, Locked-In Stance
A 688 mm seat height and classic rider triangle lock you into a balanced, confident riding position, whether you’re easing off the side stand or tipping it into the next corner.
Full LED Lighting
Bright, low-draw LED lighting keeps you visible from every angle while throwing a clean, white beam to light your path after dark.
Selectable Ride Modes + Rider Safety Enhancements
Three ride modes (Road, Sport, and Rain) instantly change the attitude of the Nightster to match your mood and the conditions, while ABS, traction control, and drag-torque slip control work quietly in the background to keep you locked in when the road throws you a curve.
Rear suspension is dual outboard, direct-acting (no linkage) emulsion technology shock absorbers with coil springs and a threaded collar for pre-load adjustment.
