Hero Motocorp commences deliveries of Harley-Davidson’s Nightster

The Harley-Davidson Nightster motorcycle is the next chapter in the Harley-Davidson Sportster  legacy. Available as a Completely Built-up Units (CBU), the Nightster can be booked at all Harley-Davidson dealerships in India at a starting price of Rs 14,99,000/-(Ex-Showroom Delhi).

Nightster pairs a nimble, lightweight chassis with a powerful engine tuned for strong mid-range performance, an ideal combination for navigating urban traffic and charging along curving backroads. At the heart of the 2022 Nightster model is the new Revolution Max 975T powertrain. It is a liquid-cooled, 60-degree V-Twin with a torque curve that stays flat through the broad powerband – and engine performance designed to deliver strong acceleration and robust power through the mid-range.

Nightster is equipped with Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson, a collection of technologies designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration, and braking. All-new from the wheels up with a look that is lean, low, and powerful, Nightster conveys classic Sportster model styling cues, most obviously in the exposed rear shock absorbers and the shape of an airbox cover that evokes the iconic Sportster walnut fuel tank. For 2022 the Nightster model is offered in Vivid Black, with pricing starting from Rs.14.99 lakh, Gunship Grey and Redline Red, with pricing starting from Rs. 15.13 lakh.
