2018 Sport Glide suspension

Hello everyone,

2 out of 8 new softails have higher suspension - Heritage and Fat bob, I am just curious - what about ninth bike - the new Sport Glide, does it come with the standard suspension, like low rider and others or upgraded one - like HC.

could not find info in catalogue, because Sport Glide is not listed at all.

any observations?

thanks in advance

Use the comparison tool on Harley’s website. It will show you all the similarities and differences between three bikes at a time.

On HD website, it says Heritage has “high performance front suspension”. No mention of that under Sport Glide description.

I think the Sport Glide sets low, I could flat foot it easy. The front has inverted forks, so the front should handle great.

This bike received the external preload adjuster shared by the Fat Boy, Fat Bob, and Breakout, but it uses the shorter rear suspension. (The taller shock is found only on the Heritage and Fat Bob.)

got an answer on revzilla.
