Design
Knights of the Dark Side on two wheels is the Night Rod Special. Everything is covered in blacked-out finishes, with orange pinstripes to distinguish the engine and wheels. Its performance capability is hinted at by its low handlebar and inverted forks, which provide a streamlined design complemented by a powerful fuel tank and tapering tail. The bold design and cosy ergonomics combine to create a head-turning effect.
Specifications
Engine and Gearbox
A liquid-cooled, 1247cc V-twin engine producing 125 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque powers the Night Rod Special. This results in a powerful pulling force and exhilarating acceleration. You may enjoy a snappy and smooth ride with all that muscle put to the ground thanks to a 5-speed gearbox.
Performance
From the standard Harley mould, the Night Rod Special departs. It has surprising agility and a powerful pull for cruising on the highway thanks to its torque, which peaks at 7,000 rpm. Though it isn’t a true drag racer, it provides an exhilarating experience that surpasses typical Harley standards.
Features
From the powerful engine to the large 240mm rear tyre, all the blacked-out details are apparent. A sleek exhaust and matching-colour windscreen offer a little style, but inverted forks and a low handlebar suggest its performance. Safe transportation is ensured by standard equipment like warning lights and a fuel gauge.
Safety
The Night Rod Special puts performance and style first, but it doesn’t totally ignore safety. Front and rear dual-disc brakes offer powerful stopping force. Nevertheless, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), a crucial safety component, was only offered as a part of an extra security package. This implies that careful riders might wish to think about installing ABS to improve control during rapid stops.
Suspension and brakes
Strong stopping combined with a smooth ride characterises the Night Rod Special. Robust 49mm forks at the front absorb shocks, and two adjustable rear shocks allow you to fine-tune the handling for either riding alone or with a passenger. For sure stopping power, both front and rear wheels have four-piston callipers and dual 300mm discs for braking.
