With its Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-twin engine, high-performance components, and refined technology, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special offers an exceptional riding experience suited for various conditions.
The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine serves as the backbone of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special, offering an output of 95 horsepower and 122 ft-lb of torque. Equipped with a high-performance air cleaner, the engine optimizes air intake, improving throttle response and engine performance. The exhaust system, a blacked-out two-into-two design, balances performance with an aggressive visual impact. The system also contributes to the bike's deep, rich V-twin exhaust rumble, which is distinctive and complements its bold look.
Fuel economy is rated at 43 miles per gallon, offering a practical range for long-distance rides.
In terms of braking, the Brembo® brake system is a critical component for stopping power, ensuring a controlled response when applying the brakes at various speeds. The SHOWA® suspension system works in tandem with the braking system, providing a smooth ride by absorbing road imperfections.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special is characterized by its blacked-out design, which enhances the bike's bold aesthetic. The matte and gloss finishes on the powertrain add depth and contrast, giving the motorcycle a modern yet aggressive look. This color scheme extends to the exhaust system and air cleaner.
The bike's stretched saddlebags contribute to its signature bagger silhouette and provide 2.5 cubic feet of storage.
The mini-ape handlebars play a crucial role in the overall comfort of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special. The mini-apes are adjustable, allowing riders to customize the height and reach to suit their preferences, ensuring comfort for a wide range of riders.
Another significant feature is the tank-mounted analog gauge, which brings a classic touch to the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special. Positioned low on the tank, the gauge is clear and easy to read, ensuring that riders have all the necessary information without cluttering the cockpit.
In terms of lighting, the LED headlamp provides superior visibility, allowing riders to confidently navigate roads after dark. The Daymaker® LED forward lighting ensures that the road ahead is illuminated effectively.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special integrates several advanced technologies that enhance the rider’s experience without overwhelming the bike's core design. Cruise control comes standard, offering a convenient way to maintain a consistent speed during long rides.
Rider Safety Enhancements provide additional layers of support, helping riders manage tricky situations. These include features such as Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Electronic Linked Braking (ELB), and Vehicle Hold Control (VHC). These systems work in unison to improve control during braking, acceleration, and cornering.
The ABS prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, maintaining control and stability in emergency situations. Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) applies braking force to both wheels when the front brake is engaged. VHC provides added confidence when starting on inclines.
For those who frequently ride in challenging conditions, the Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) is available as an optional feature. This system prevents rear-wheel spin during acceleration and enhances stability during cornering.
Additionally, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the rider when tire pressure is too low or high, promoting better tire health and performance.
