Updated for 2026 with highlighted cooling fins, the blacked-out Revolution Max 975T powertrain on the Nightster hits harder on the dark, custom, sport-driven attitude riders have been asking for. You asked, and we listened.

A 27” seat height and classic rider triangle lock you into a balanced, confident riding position, whether you’re easing off the side stand or tipping it into the next corner.

At just 481 lbs. wet, with the fuel tank positioned under the seat for better balance, the Nightster is one of the lightest Harleys you can throw a leg over. And it feels like it, too.

Tank graphic, round air intake cover, medallion tank badge, and exposed dual rear shocks keep the Sportster® lineage alive, giving the Nightster a profile that’s pure Harley from every angle

With the liquid-cooled 975T Revolution Max motor torque-tuned for low RPM performance, the 2026 Nightster packs a lot of “move” into a light, manageable package.

Liquid-cooled, torque-rich, and quick to respond, the Revolution Max 975T puts down 91 hp (HDI: 89 hp) with a fat power band you can feel every time you give it the beans.

More travel than legacy Sportsters means a smoother ride so you can stay planted without losing the edge that makes the Nightster so much fun to ride.

Matched with the downdraft air intake, the lightweight 2-into-1 exhaust opens up the Revolution Max motor for freer breathing and sharper response. It’s tuned for punch, balanced for symmetry, and built to give the Nightster a look and sound that are unmistakably peppy, modern, and pure Harley-Davidson.

All the stopping power you need. A four-piston Brembo caliper up front, single-piston in the rear, and floating rotors all around give the Nightster® the kind of stopping power that feels intuitive, balanced, and precise. Every piece falls into place to keep you in control of all 91 (HDI: 89) horses waiting under your right hand.

Switch between Road, Sport, and Rain modes to fit your ride, while ABS, traction control, and drag-torque slip control keep you completely locked in. Finally, full LED lighting makes sure you see wherever the night takes you

Three ride modes (Road, Sport, and Rain) instantly change the attitude of the Nightster to match your mood and the conditions, while ABS, traction control, and drag-torque slip control work quietly in the background to keep you locked in when the road throws you a curve.

Bright, low-draw LED lighting keeps you visible from every angle while throwing a clean, white beam to light your path after dark.
