New Harley-Davidson Sportster variant to debut on April 12

The new variant is expected to be positioned below the Sportster S.

Harley-Davidson has released a teaser of a new Sportster variant. The bike will be unveiled on April 12, 2022.

The new variant is expected to be positioned below the Sportster S. Looking at the teaser, the bike appears to have a circular headlamp with a shroud around it. It has a low-slung seat and could get bar-end mirrors.

The new Sportster variant is likely to be powered by Harley's Revolution Max engine. Rumours suggest that it could get a 975cc unit instead of the 1252cc block that powers the Sportster S.

Other details on the lower spec Sportster include alloy wheels with slimmer tyres, disc brakes and a more conventional dual-exhaust setup.
