Its robust engineering, refined suspension, and cutting-edge safety features make this model an exceptional choice for those who seek performance and value.
Performance-Driven Powertrain
The new Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic engine powers the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob®. This V-twin powertrain is designed to provide a powerful yet smooth ride. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic, which produces 98 horsepower and 120 ft-lb of torque, guarantees that the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® provides a blend of powerful acceleration and luxurious cruising performance. A controlled and responsive ride is provided in any gear thanks to the engine's broad torque curve, which gives the rider access to enough power over the whole RPM range.
The engine is designed for efficient street performance, with refined calibration that makes it suited for both stop-and-go city riding as well as sustained highway travel. This provides a smooth transition of power. The new two-into-one exhaust system enhances engine performance by optimizing exhaust flow. Additionally, the exhaust produces a deep, refined rumble that complements the motorcycle's overall performance characteristics.
Suspension and Handling: Precision Engineering
The suspension system on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® has been designed with both comfort and performance in mind. The updated SHOWA® dual-bending valve front suspension provides improved responsiveness during aggressive cornering and contributes to a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. This system, combined with a 49mm fork, enhances overall comfort without sacrificing handling precision.
At the rear, the monoshock suspension features an under-seat, cam-style preload adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension based on load or road conditions. This adjustability ensures that the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® remains stable when carrying a passenger, heavy gear, or navigating rough road surfaces. The rear suspension also maintains high performance while preserving comfort, even during extended rides.
Additionally, the bike's Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series tires provide optimal grip, ensuring maximum traction for precise cornering and quick acceleration. The tire and suspension combination delivers a well-balanced handling experience.
Structural Integrity and Design
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® maintains its classic bobber aesthetics while incorporating elements of modern functionality. The 3.5-gallon gas tank, along with the iconic “stretched diamond” tank medallion, speaks to the Harley-Davidson® heritage. The fuel tank's design optimizes capacity while maintaining a slim profile, ensuring that the motorcycle remains lightweight and responsive. The classic bobber styling, which includes mini-ape handlebars and a chopped rear fender, contributes to the bike's compact yet powerful appearance.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® also incorporates advanced LED lighting technology. The 5.75-inch LED headlamp provides a bright, wide beam, ensuring optimal visibility in low-light conditions. The LED turn signals enhance safety by offering clear visibility to other road users. The bike’s design also features improved ergonomics, ensuring that all essential controls are easy to access and operate during the ride.
Advanced Rider Safety Features
Safety is an essential consideration in any motorcycle, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® is equipped with the brand’s latest Rider Safety Enhancements (RSE). This advanced suite of systems is designed to provide greater rider confidence and control under challenging conditions. These features focus on maintaining optimal traction, braking, and stability, especially in cornering or wet conditions.
One of the key safety technologies is the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which prevents wheel lockup during emergency braking. ABS is designed to maintain braking performance in critical situations, reducing the risk of accidents. In addition, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® is equipped with a Traction Control System (TCS), which minimizes rear-wheel spin during acceleration, ensuring smoother power delivery in all riding conditions.
Another notable safety feature is the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS). This system helps to prevent the rear wheel from locking under powertrain-induced deceleration, a common occurrence when the rider abruptly downshifts or quickly reduces the throttle. DSCS reduces rear-wheel slip, providing more control on slippery surfaces. The Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) further enhances safety by adjusting the braking pressure based on the bike's lean angle, ensuring a smoother and safer braking experience during cornering.
Innovative Technology Integration
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® incorporates a range of technological advancements that enhance both rider experience and convenience. A major update is the four-inch multifunction display, which integrates a large analog gauge and an LCD screen. The LCD screen offers control over essential systems, including ride modes and Rider Safety Enhancements, allowing the rider to tailor their experience to their specific preferences and conditions.
The updated hand controls offer improved ergonomics and simplify the operation of various systems. Riders can easily switch between ride modes, adjust settings for safety features, or control audio systems, all without losing focus on the road. The inclusion of a USB-C charging port ensures that devices like navigation systems, mobile phones, or Bluetooth® headsets remain powered throughout the ride.
In addition, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® comes with integrated audio controls, providing a seamless experience for riders who prefer to stay connected or enjoy music while on the road..
Customization Options and Accessories
Harley-Davidson® is well-known for offering a wide range of customization options, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® is no exception. Riders can select from various color options, including Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, and Iron Horse Metallic, each designed to offer a unique look while maintaining a sense of understated style. Additionally, the bike is available with a choice of blacked-out cast Annihilator wheels or the new tubeless laced wheels, allowing further personalization.
