The Harley-Davidson XL883L SuperLow is a radical transformation of the top-selling entry-level bike. Gone are the days of compromises on comfort and stability; this new model boasts an improved suspension that provides a softer, more compliant ride without sacrificing its iconic low seat height.
A super-low riding position remains the defining feature of the SuperLow, but beneath its familiar exterior lies a completely overhauled chassis with upgraded wheel and tire sizes, fork, gas tank, and even a revised solo seat for increased comfort.
Harley-Davidson’s project manager Greg Falkner describes the SuperLow as “essentially an all-new model,” and it’s clear that this bike is designed to appeal to riders of all skill levels, not just beginners.
