The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is a classically styled cruiser powered by a liquid-cooled V-Twin engine. A V-Twin engine has two cylinders arranged in a V shape. This bike uses the same 1,252cc Revolution Max engine as the Pan America. However, it does not get variable valve timing, so it produces 121 hp. Even so, it is one of the most powerful motorcycles in its segment and can cross 180kph, making it much faster than older air-cooled Harley models.

 

Unlike most big Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the Sportster S has mid-set footpegs and a more upright riding position, giving it a different feel from a typical cruiser. The 228 kg Sportster S gets powerful Brembo front brakes to provide strong stopping power. It also gets a wide 160-section front tyre and one of the widest rear tyres on an India-made motorcycle, giving it a muscular look and better road grip.
