Harley-Davidson has recently equipped a narrow selection of motorcycles with its biggest Milwaukee-Eight 117ci V-twin engine as OE-equipment, which was previously only offered in CVO models. The 2022 Low Rider ST is one of two Softail models equipped with the big-displacement powerplant, as well as the Road Glide and Street Glide ST offerings.
As part of Cycle World’s regimented testing protocol, we ran the 2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST on our in-house Dynojet 250i dynamometer, recording horsepower and torque figures ahead of an upcoming first ride review. The ST produced a peak 94.89 hp at 4,810 rpm and 114.79 pound-feet of torque at 3,470 rpm, which is right in line with the measured performance of the M-8 117-powered Low Rider S we last had on the dyno.
