HARLEY-DAVIDSON 2026 HERITAGE™

The 2026 Heritage Classic is proof that a factory custom can honor the past, live in the present, and still be ready for whatever comes next.

AT A GLANCE

Timeless Style That Refuses to Sit Still

The 2026 Heritage Classic is the perfect blend of vintage soul with modern muscle. We’ve packed a Milwaukee-Eight™ 117 motor into its low-slung frame and mated it to a performance-tuned 2-into-1 exhaust that makes it a monster. It also comes with lockable symmetrical saddlebags, LED lighting all around, and optional tubeless laced wheels. The only thing “Classic” about it is the name. 

Tech Specs

 Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic Motor Built to Thrill 

Big torque, smooth delivery, and the unmistakable sound of a Harley™ V-Twin motor. This is the most powerful Heritage Classic yet.

Performance-Tuned 2-Into-1 Exhaust

Built to move more air and deliver richer sound while balancing the bike’s symmetrical saddlebags, it’s equal parts performance and presence.

Two-Tone Detachable Windshield

Vintage style, modern function. The Heritage Classic’s detachable windshield cuts wind and keeps pressure off your shoulders when you’re freewheeling highway miles, then pops off for a clean, stripped-down look when you’re bopping around town.

Lockable, Sealed Saddlebags 

Symmetrical, weather-tight saddlebags keep your gear secure and dry, with enough style to look like they’ve been here since day one. 

Vintage Styling, Modern Comfort

Deep paint, blacked-out trim, and the iconic tank medallion give the Heritage Classic its unmistakable silhouette. Add in plush 2-up seating, and you’ve got a factory custom that carries the weight of history and still feels built for today’s ride.

"I’ve owned a lot of bikes over the years, but this one feels like all of them rolled into one. 

It’s got the soul I remember and performance that I couldn’t have even dreamed about."

Where The Past Meets Fast.

Two-up comfort and full LED lighting meet the rumble of a Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic and the edge of a performance-tuned exhaust. Add in USB-C charging, a tech-forward analog gauge, traction control, and a retuned suspension, and the 2026 Heritage Classic rolls deep with old-school looks and new-school moves.

RIDER SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS

Harley-Davidson’s Rider Safety Enhancements is all about giving you that extra peace of mind when things get a little unpredictable. It’s a set of smart tech that steps in during tricky situations, helping the bike handle traction while you’re accelerating, braking, or slowing down. With the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, the bike even adjusts for cornering, keeping things smooth and steady without you having to think twice.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence.

Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS)

DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

TPMS alerts the rider through the information display to low or high tire air pressure. Maintaining proper tire air pressure is important both for vehicle performance and tire life.

Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS)

C-ABS is a variant of ABS that takes into consideration the lean angle of a two-wheel motorcycle, or the lateral acceleration of a Trike model. The brake pressure required to limit wheel slip when cornering is typically or lower than the pressure required under straight line operation.

Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS)

C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.

Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS)

On bikes equipped with C-DSCS, the system helps keep the rear wheel from slipping or locking up when you quickly downshift or let off the throttle, especially on wet or slippery roads. When turning, it can adjust based on how much a two-wheel bike is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
