With a price tag of approximately $17,195, this bike appeals to those who appreciate the rich heritage of Harley-Davidson and are looking to make a statement on the open road. At the heart of the Road King Custom lies a powerful 1,442.15 ccm (88.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a commanding torque of 116.61 Nm at 3,500 RPM. This torque-rich engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 5-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, allowing for effortless acceleration and a comfortable ride.

The Road King Custom is not just about performance; it’s a showcase of design and technology that enhances the riding experience. With its low seat height of 663 mm and a sleek, elongated frame, this bike invites both seasoned riders and newcomers to enjoy its comfortable ergonomics. The robust braking system, featuring double disc brakes in the front and a single disc in the rear, provides excellent stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising style. Riders can choose from an array of eye-catching color options, including Vivid Black and Glacier White Pearl, allowing for personalization that reflects individual tastes. The bike's 18.92-litre fuel tank ensures you can cover long distances without frequent stops, making it ideal for those weekend getaways or cross-country adventures. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The V2 engine delivers impressive torque and smooth acceleration, ideal for both highway cruising and urban riding.
  • Comfortable Ergonomics: With a low seat height and well-designed frame, the Road King Custom offers a comfortable riding position for a wide range of riders.
