2025 Harley-Davidson Sportster S, Nightster and Nightster S Gallery
Harley-Davidson announced a small but welcome change to the 2025 Sportster S, equipping it with a new Showa piggyback reservoir rear shock with hydraulic preload, compression, and rebound damping and increasing rear wheel travel to 3.2 inches from the previous 2.0 inches. The Showa 43mm front fork was retuned accordingly to balance the new rear suspension.
Otherwise, the Sportster S is unchanged from 2024, as are the Nightster and Nightster S, except for new colors including a special color-shifting Snake Venom option with chrome details for the Nightster.
