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.
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.

"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."
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.

Symmetrical, weather-tight saddlebags keep your gear secure and dry, with enough style to look like they’ve been here since day one.
A 178 mm LED headlamp, tail lamp, and turn signals sharpen the look and light the way, making sure this classic shines from every angle.
Choose between blacked-out cast wheels or tubeless laced wheels for easier repairs and timeless style that ties the whole bike together.
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.
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.
Every 2026 Cruiser is powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 117 motor — Classic, Custom, or High Output — each tuned for a different feel. New ride modes, rider safety enhancements, full LED lighting, and fresh finishes across the lineup cap things off. But those features barely scratch the surface.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.
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.

The Heritage Classic motorcycle drapes the Harley-Davidson Softail® platform in pure nostalgia, with a profile inspired by Harley-Davidson models from the 1950s. This quintessential American cruiser offers show-stopping vintage details and pure rock and roll style. Engine, body, and technology work together to offer the most capable and comfortable ride a bike enthusiast can find.
Nostalgic styling paired with the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic engine and modern upgrades make the Heritage Classic an easy choice for vintage aficionados. Dual counter-balancers eliminate vibration while idle, allowing some engine character to reach the rider at speed. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic engine is rigidly mounted to the bike’s frame. This stiffens the chassis and connects the rider more directly to the powertrain.
With the 2026 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic Cruiser, you can enjoy multiple ride modes, a collection of modern technologies, and rider safety enhancements designed to enhance confidence in even the most unexpected conditions. This 2026 model also has a solo trim option that comes in Dark Billiard Gray and includes a solo seat, no passenger pegs, no windshield, and cast wheels for the perfect classic look.
Modern performance meets the nostalgic design and feel Harley-Davidson enthusiasts have come to love. Request a quote for the new Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic Cruiser.
