Harley Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight (2018 – 2019)

Harley Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight (2018 - 2019)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight is an imposing figure on the road, with its signature bulldog stance and iconic 2.1-gallon fuel tank.

Its massive 1200cc Evolution engine delivers a wealth of low-end torque, accompanied by a soul-stirring V-Twin soundtrack that’s as raw as it is captivating.

A lightweight aluminium heads and cylinders improve air-cooling efficiency, while the Fat Front Wheel with its massive MT90 tyre exudes confidence and poise up front. The 49mm Fork with Cartridge Dampening provides crisp handling, no matter the road conditions.

The Emulsion Rear Shock with Screw Adjuster soaks up every bump, while Split 9-Spoke Cast Aluminium Wheels provide a lightweight feel despite the abundant rubber beneath. And when you need to stop, the Foundation Brake System delivers power and predictability with each squeeze of the brakes.

At its core, this bike is an unapologetic celebration of raw power and style, begging to be ridden hard and put away wet – and we can’t wait to see it take on some twisties.
