The Harley-Davidson® Sportster has been the company’s entry-level machine for years, but a 2022 model gives riders a new avenue. The New Harley-Davidson® Nightster promises to deliver a leap forward in performance and design. As expected from H-D, the 975T Revolution Max engine provides a good ride experience with plenty of power down low that doesn't leave you wanting more when cruising on the freeway or just messing around at the local coffee shop.
The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Nightster is powered by the 975T Revolution Max V-twin engine
The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Nightster is powered by the new 975T Revolution Max V-twin engine. The 60-degree V-twin shares many of the same design features as its bigger brother, the Pan America. Like the Sportster S and Pan America models, this smaller bike uses liquid cooling for optimal performance and reliability.
The new 975 engine makes 90 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque, a significant increase over Sportster models that run the 883cc and 1200cc Evolution engines.
Complementing the short height is the weight of the Nightster, which weighs in at 480lbs. 80 pounds lighter than the most Sportster models, leaving plenty of weight left over to load up on camping gear for a night out of town.
The chassis is redesigned with impressive cornering abilities.
One of the most striking features of this bike is its chassis. The engine of the Nightster is a stressed member, built around a rigid steel frame for a modern twist. This not only gives it an aesthetic advantage, but also makes for better handling and stability when riding hard.
The Harley-Davidson® Nightster offers preload-adjustable Dual Shock suspension in the back and telescopic-style fork with Showa's Dual Bending Valve system upfront to ensure that you're always in control.
Electronic Ride Modes and safety features
If you're looking for a bike that's both comfortable and capable, the Nightster is a good bet. The Road, Sport, and Rain ride modes control how much ABS traction control, and Drag-Torque Slip Control DTSCS is provided to give you a range of performance from mild to wild. This allows you to ride at your comfort level, with maximum traction control when you need it most.
The Nightster has a responsive engine that contributes to a good ride experience.
The Harley-Davidson® Nightster is a motorcycle that promises a fun ride experience. It's lightweight and agile, so you can turn quickly and easily. The responsive engine also contributes to a good ride experience.
The Nightster is a bike that can be ridden by people of all sizes, thanks to its low seat height and comfortable riding position. The mid-mounted foot controls make the bike feel natural and balanced, while the narrow profile helps riders feel confident at stops and in slow-speed situations.
Final Thoughts
The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Nightster brings a modern performance feel to the Sportster-inspired category. With its Revolution Max 975T engine, updated chassis, ride modes, and low-slung profile, it is designed for riders who want a lightweight motorcycle that still feels unmistakably Harley-Davidson.
