Default 2020 Low Rider S

This was posted on Get Lowered’s IG.




There was rumor of this happening... and it may actually be legit. I love my 2017 FXDLS but this may move me to new bike this year.

Well if it’s anything like your ‘17 model it will be the 2019 Low Rider with new paint and a bigger motor...either 114 or 117..and maybe dual disc and upgraded suspension which would be awesome, but I can’t tell if that’s what you’re hoping for. It will still be an M8 in the new frame, which is great in my experience, but results vary.

Don't think it will happen, HD has a few new models coming out for 2020 and HD is corporate so I doubt they want to take away from that. But it would be cool none the less.

Yea if they put a 117 and then dual disk up front that would be awesome.....which probably means it won't happen. God forbid they build a bike that requires minimal upgrades off the showroom floor.

just like the dyna S. But with the new softails, all the S means is that it has the 114. I have a FXBRS according to moco, in reality it is a breakout with a 114. No different that the 107.

Based on the dimensions, there's a little bit of a difference in the rake/trail. With that, given that the overall length is the same between the two models, that may mean a difference in tire/wheel as well. And... with a lower ground clearance, but taller laden height, I'd suspect the suspension has differences.

Dimensions - inches (FXLR / FXLRS):
Overall Length: 92.7 / 92.7
Overall Width: 38.0 / 33.5
Overall Height: 45.5 / 45.7
Wheelbase: 64.2 / 63.6
Ground Clearance: 5.1 / 4.7
Seat Height Laden: 26.2 / 26.5
