As cruisers trend toward liquid-cooled platforms, manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson are innovating their engine designs to meet the demands of the market. In 2021, The Motor Company debuted the Sportster S as a new take on one of Harley’s bestselling models, the Sportster.

The new Sportster S platform received the Revolution Max 1250T V-twin engine. A liquid-cooled DOHC powerplant featuring variable valve timing, three ride modes (Sport, Road, Rain) including a customizable map, and electronic safety features such as Cornering Enhanced ABS and traction control. On our in-house Dynojet 250i dynamometer, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S produced 109.6 hp at 7,530 rpm and 85.2 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,000 rpm.

A linear power delivery, flat torque curve, and quick-revving nature deliver a riding experience unlike any other traditional Harley-Davidson model. Whether you are zipping down the boulevard or pinning it out of a corner on a backroad, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S is an exhilarating ride thanks to its punchy, arm-tugging engine characteristics.

I'm sure that decimal point is in the wrong place!

Should have read 1.96bhp

Anything more than that and the bike would disintegrate they are made so badly
