2021 Harley Davidson Road King Special Features

The most displacement in standard H-D® Touring models. You get 114 cubic inches of passing and horizon-chasing power.

Designed to help prevent the wheels from locking under braking to assist the rider in maintaining control when braking in a straight-line. ABS operates independently on front and rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and help prevent uncontrolled wheel lock in urgent situations.

9-inch tall, 1.25-inch wide mini-ape handlebars so you can sit taller, feel more assertive, and ride more aggressively.

This machine is end-to-end blacked-out, stripped down bare muscle from the aggressive turbine wheels to the tapered mufflers

A sleek look on the outside and roomy on the inside with more than enough space to stash your riding essentials. The lids open with a single touch of a hand.

Black, glossy 19-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels so you can roll in with style and attitude.

Big and commanding, boasting a darkness-defying headlight so you can see and be seen.

High-performing front and rear suspension with easily hand-adjustable rear shocks put you in control of a plush ride.
