Harley-Davidson has expanded its cruiser lineup with the launch of the all-new Deadwood, a factory-built motorcycle inspired by the stripped-down bobber customs of the post-World War II era. Designed with a minimalist appearance and modern engineering, the Deadwood blends classic styling with advanced rider technology. The motorcycle will be available exclusively in the United States and Canada, carrying a starting price of $17,999 (approximately ₹15.5 lakh).

VINTAGE BOBBER DESIGN

The Deadwood features an all-black finish across the engine, exhaust, handlebars and suspension components, giving it a rugged old-school look. A solo tuck-and-roll seat, black laced wheels, chopped windshield and five-gallon teardrop fuel tank complete its retro-inspired styling. Harley-Davidson has also lowered the rear suspension, giving the motorcycle one of the lowest seat heights in its 2026 lineup.

MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 117 ENGINE

Powering the Deadwood is Harley-Davidson’s Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic V-Twin engine with a displacement of 1,923cc. The motor develops 98 hp and 163 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a 2-into-1 exhaust system designed to deliver strong low-end performance and the signature Harley exhaust note. The engine is also compatible with Screamin’ Eagle performance upgrade kits for riders seeking additional performance.

MODERN FEATURES

Despite its classic appearance, the Deadwood comes equipped with modern safety and convenience features including cornering ABS, traction control, drag torque slip control, tyre pressure monitoring, selectable ride modes, full LED lighting and a USB Type-C charging port. Harley-Davidson has confirmed that the motorcycle will make its public debut during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, although there are currently no plans to launch it outside North America.
