Harley Davidson XL 1200R Sportster Roadster (2018 – 2019)

Harley Davidson XL 1200R Sportster Roadster (2018 - 2019)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200R Sportster Roadster is a performance package that redefines the boundaries of street-bred and track-based racing. At its heart lies a potent 1200cc Evolution engine, delivering massive low-end torque and an unmistakable V-Twin growl.

A key element in this bike’s performance prowess is its suspension, featuring 43mm inverted front forks with cartridge damping and massive new triple clamps that keep the rubber glued to the road. The riding experience is further enhanced by a chopped rear mudguard, mid-mount controls, lowered bars, and 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels.

The Roadster’s aggressive yet comfortable riding position is designed for maximum excitement, with a two-up seat and adjustable rear suspension allowing riders to tailor the bike to their style. The result is a machine that shatters every mold, delivering stoplight-to-stoplight power, agility, and garage-built custom style in equal measure, making it an American legend that truly lives up to its name: “The Ultimate Ride”.
