Introducing an all-new member of the “Sport” family into their 2022 model lineup, the Nightster is a welcome leap forward for this American staple.

Wrapped around the new Revolution® Max 975T liquid-cooled V-Twin, is a familiar-looking Sportster chassis with traditional features like the rear outboard mounted shocks, round intake cover, and peanut styled fuel tank.

Harley Davidson has tuned the new powertrain for a stout 70 ft-lb of torque and 90hp. The new chassis should prove quite nimble with a 16” rear and 19” front wheel setup. LED lighting and selectable rider modes round out the modern features.

3 color choices exist for the 2022 Harley Davidson Nightster: Vivid Black, Gunship Gray, and Redline Red.

The 2022 Harley Davidson Nightster starts at $13,499 USD / $16,499 CAD.

2022 Harley Davidson Nightster Features

The most obvious resemblance to its Sportster lineage is the shape of the airbox cover, which shares its profile with the classic Sportster

The Nightster is equipped with a 19-inch front wheel and a 16-inch rear wheel, dimensions selected to deliver nimble performance and distinctive style.

Modeled after a previous Sportster chassis, Nightster features exposed dual rear shocks that provide a critical style line at the rear of the motorcycle.

Performance when you need it, the Revolution Max 975T engine is a liquid-cooled V-Twin tuned to make tremendous torque at low RPM, delivering strong acceleration from the start with robust power through the mid-range.
