The Harley-Davidson XL883L Sportster SuperLow is a game-changer in the world of entry-level motorcycles. For 2011, this top-selling bike has undergone a complete makeover, with a focus on improving ride comfort and stability.
Harley’s engineers have fine-tuned the suspension to deliver a softer, more compliant ride without sacrificing the low seat height that made the original Low so popular. The result is a new model that deserves its own name: the SuperLow. With its super-low riding position, this bike is perfectly suited for new and experienced riders alike.
But don’t be fooled by its familiar look – beneath the surface lies an all-new machine with improved suspension calibrations, new wheel and tire sizes, and a host of other upgrades. As Harley’s project manager Greg Falkner puts it, “It’s really a whole-new bike for us.” With its exceptional performance and versatility, the SuperLow is poised to become the go-to choice for riders of all skill levels – not just beginners looking to dip their toes in the water, but also seasoned enthusiasts who crave a more enjoyable ride.
