The Harley Davidson Softail Slim harks back to his historical beginnings and combines the raw edge of a bobber with the classic styling of a cruiser. With its faux rigid swingarm and hidden rear shock, the Softail Slim emulates the old classic lines of bikes from yesteryear while incorporating modern tech.

The Harley Davidson Softail Slim is powered by Harley’s distinctive Twin Cam 103B V-Twin motor producing a whopping 100.3 lb.-ft. around 3000 rpm. Power and brute force enable the Softail Slim to conquer any stretch of highway and the forward mounted controls, wide handlebars and upright seating position contribute to comfortable cruising position.

Additional features include a six-speed transmission, belt drive, tank mounted tach, digital speedo and digital display, and one of the lowest seat heights of any cruiser (23.8 in).

The Harley Davidson Softail Slim is priced starting at $15,099 and comes in five colors: Vivid Black, Black Denim, Olive Gold, Charcoal Denim / Black Denim, Iron Red Denim.
