Harley-Davidson have released the first look at their 2022 range, check out all the new models below…
New models include the Street Glide ST and Road Glide ST in the Grand American Touring line, the more powerful Low Rider S, and the new Low Rider ST Cruiser models, and four super-premium models from Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO).
The Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine offers the most displacement and torque available from a factory-installed, regular-production Harley-Davidson powertrain. With 117 cubic inches of displacement, the Milwaukee-Eight 117 with oil/air cooling produces 172Nm of torque at 3750rpm.
“The Milwaukee-Eight 117 with precision oil/air cooling produces up to 172Nm of torque at 3750RPM.”
The engine features a high-performance camshaft, a high-flow intake, and high performance exhaust tuned to maximise engine performance while maintaining 50-state compliance and producing a stirring tone. Dealer-installed Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts Stage Upgrades from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories are available to boost engine performance even further.
Street Glide and Road Glide ST
The Street Glide ST model pairs the muscular Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain with new dark-and-bronze finishes. The iconic Harley-Davidson batwing fairing features a splitstream vent to limit head buffeting and a low-profile dark windshield. A low-profile tank console with side fuel fill and low-profile engine guard adds custom style and differentiation from other Touring models. The Street Glide ST model is drenched in black – front end, controls, powertrain, and exhaust. The only bright bits are pushrod tubes and tappet covers, and machined cylinder fins.
Matte Dark Bronze finish on the Prodigy cast aluminium wheels, the colour band on the lower rocker box, timer cover medallion, intake medallion, and the classic script tank graphic provide subtle contrast to dark finishes.
There are two paint options – Vivid Black or Gunship Gray. The front fender is trimmed for a sporty profile and lighter look and standard-length saddlebags replace the extended bags on Street Glide Special model. A Heavy Breather intake with forward-facing exposed air cleaner element reinforces performance-first styling, while the new solo seat gives the Street Glide ST a lean and aggressive look.
The Street Glide is equiped with electronic cruise control, this holds a steady speed for comfort on long rides.
Emulsion-technology rear shock absorbers feature a single knob to hydraulically adjust pre-load for optimal ride and control. The 49mm forks with dual bending valve suspension technology deliver linear damping characteristics for a smooth ride. Reflex linked Brembo brakes with ABS are standard. Other features include the Boom! Box GTS infotainment system with colour touch screen, two fairing-mount speakers and hidden radio antenna.
“The Road Glide ST takes everything from the Street Glide and adds a distinctive and aerodynamic shark nose fairing.”
Electronic cruise control holds a steady speed for comfort on long rides. A Daymaker LED headlamp pushes out an impressive punch with a bright-white beam that lights up the road. Smart Security System with proximity-based, hands-free security fob offers peace of mind.
The Road Glide ST takes everything from the Street Glide and adds a distinctive and aerodynamic shark nose Road Glide fairing which features triple splitstream venting to limit head buffeting. The fairing is topped with a low-profile dark windshield and holds dual Daymaker LED headlamps that push out an impressive punch with a bright-white beam that lights up the road. A low-profile engine guard and tank console combine to give the Road Glide ST trim lines.
Low Rider S and Low Rider ST Models
On the Low Rider ST, the saddlebags ride high and tight, the rear suspension is jacked up, the handlebar is high, and the FXRT-inspired fairing is frame-mounted. The Low Rider ST model puts the rider in a commanding position on top of the bike. When the road trip is over, simply pop off the saddlebags to convert the Low Rider ST model from cross-country mode to urban cruiser.
The Low Rider ST puts together everything Harley-Davidson have learnt over the years and crammed it all into one all-round chassis!
“A key element of this model is the frame-mounted fairing, which has a shape inspired by the classic FXRT Sport Glide model fairing favoured by West Coast customisers,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design. “With a dominant central headlamp flanked by side vents, the genetic connection to the original FXRT remains familiar. The sharper creases and revised proportions in the Low Rider ST fairing provide a look that is intended to be modern, athletic and aerodynamically superior to the FXRT fairing. The raised fitment of the saddlebags high above the exhaust reinforces the performance of the model.”
The lockable, rigid saddlebags feature a sleek clam-shell design that makes them easy to load and unload. The bags can be opened with one hand by a seated rider, and a damping device allows the saddlebag lids to open smoothly. The bags can be removed in seconds with an internal quick-release mechanism. Combined saddlebag capacity is 53.8 litres.
The ST model adds premium appealed to the Lowrider with a few changes like the versatility of hard bags and a new
frame-mounted fairing, plus an available Harley-Davidson Audio system powered by Rockford Fosgate.
The shape of the new frame-mounted fairing seen on the ST was developed through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and real-world testing. Triple fixed splitstream vents help limit rider head buffeting at highway speeds. A six-inch high windshield has a Dark Smoke tint, and the fairing holds a single 5.75-inch LED headlamp, concluding the differences between the ST and standard Lowrider models…
A deep solo seat helps hold riders in place during aggressive acceleration and cornering. A one inch moto handlebar is mounted on four-inch pull-back risers while a low-profile textured-black console tops the 18.9 litre fuel tank. Instrumentation is presented by a compact digital display inset in the handlebar riser for a custom, “no gauges” look.

Ride and handling are enhanced by the chassis, optimised to reduce weight without sacrificing rigidity. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 powertrain is rigid-mounted in the frame to further enhance chassis stiffness. A 43mm inverted fork stiffens the front end for a responsive ride, and its single-cartridge internal technology keeps the front wheel planted for improved braking and handling performance. Fork rake is 28-degrees.
The Low Rider ST is equipped with a taller rear monoshock than the standard Softai chassis monoshock (1/2-inch more stroke, 1-inch more rear wheel travel, ¾-inch higher at the seat) which raises the rear of the motorcycle. This provides improved ride comfort and increases lean angle by more than one degree, which improves dynamic performance for enhanced ground clearance and improved rider confidence during aggressive cornering.
Instrumentation on the Lowrider models is presented by a compact digital display inset in the handlebar riser for a custom, “no gauges” look. This cleans up the whole look of the bike, streamlining the styling as a whole.
Under-seat hydraulic pre load adjustment allows the rider to maintain optimal suspension performance for the prevailing load and road conditions. Dual front brakes with 300mm discs deliver the responsive braking demanded by aggressive riders. Standard ABS (antilock braking system) provides confident braking performance when conditions are less than ideal. Premium Michelin Scorcher 31 tyres (Front 110/90B19, Rear 180/70B16) enhance ride and handling performance. Other features include a Signature LED headlamp, bright LED tail/brake lamps and a USB charging port.
Rugged, blacked-out styling includes Wrinkle Black finish on the powertrain, primary cover, triple clamps, top clamp, rear fender supports and tank console; the derby cover, intake, lower rocker covers, and handlebar riser are Gloss Black. The handlebar is Satin Black. The forks are anodised black. Mufflers and exhaust shields are Jet Black. Radiate cast-aluminium wheels (19 inch front and 16 inch rear diameter) are finished in Matte Dark Bronze for an intriguing contrast to the dark components.
The Low Rider ST will be available at authorised Harley-Davidson dealerships globally beginning in late March 2022, while the standard is available now!
