The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® integrates foundational bobber design with precision-engineered updates for enhanced road performance. Built on a lightweight chassis and optimized for control, it balances stripped-down styling with advanced mechanical and electronic systems. This model is engineered for riders seeking a responsive, performance-focused platform with a minimalist footprint.
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic V-twin engine delivers 98 horsepower and 120 foot-pounds of torque in this model. Its design includes a wide, flat torque curve that maintains steady power throughout the RPM range. This arrangement supports quick throttle response and consistent acceleration, performing reliably in both city traffic and open-road conditions.
Fuel efficiency measures approximately 47 miles per gallon, providing an optimal balance between power and fuel consumption. The engine is paired with a two-into-one exhaust system constructed from lightweight acoustic materials to maximize exhaust flow. This system also produces a distinctive rumble profile consistent with the design standard of a Harley-Davidson®.
The round air intake, finished in black and chrome, supports airflow to the engine while complementing the bike’s visual design. The transmission and drivetrain components work cohesively with the engine to maintain smooth power delivery.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® adopts a minimalistic bobber design with functional enhancements. Mini ape-hanger handlebars and a narrow 3.5-gallon fuel tank contribute to the bike’s compact profile. The rear features a bobbed-style fender, which maintains the stripped-back look characteristic of this class of motorcycle.
Paint finishes are available in five options, including Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Centerline, Iron Horse Metallic, and Purple Abyss Denim. Each paint option incorporates the “stretched diamond” tank medallion, a detail derived from the 1966 Harley-Davidson® design.
Wheel choices include blacked-out cast Annihilator wheels or tubeless laced wheels, with a 19-inch front and 16-inch rear setup. These wheels retain the traditional bobber silhouette while offering improvements in durability and maintenance.
Lighting is fully LED-based, with a 5.75-inch headlamp that provides a broad beam of white light. LED turn signals are clear and bright to enhance visibility in traffic conditions.
The front suspension utilizes a SHOWA® dual-bending valve 49mm fork designed to optimize damping performance for both smooth highway riding and responsive cornering. The rear suspension consists of a monoshock unit with an under-seat cam-style preload adjustment. This design allows the rider to customize suspension stiffness to accommodate different loads or road surfaces.
The suspension components are calibrated to improve ride comfort and maintain handling precision. Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series tires are fitted to support traction and stability, contributing to controlled handling in diverse riding conditions.
The frame and chassis design support agility, ensuring the motorcycle maintains nimble maneuverability without sacrificing stability or rider confidence.
The motorcycle is equipped with a four-inch multifunction display combining a large analog speedometer with an LCD screen. This display shows speed and trip information while also providing access to ride modes and safety feature controls. The interface is designed for readability and ease of use without requiring the rider to divert attention from the road.
Hand controls have been revised for improved ergonomics and incorporate switches to navigate ride modes and safety systems. These controls enable the rider to manage settings while maintaining a firm grip on the handlebars.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth® integration for in-helmet audio management. This enables the use of navigation prompts, audio playback, and phone call handling while riding. A USB-C charging port is provided to support device power needs during extended rides.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® features a comprehensive set of Rider Safety Enhancements aimed at improving control in variable riding conditions. These systems include an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), which prevents wheel lock during braking to maintain directional stability.
The Traction Control System (TCS) limits rear-wheel spin during acceleration, improving grip on slippery or uneven surfaces. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) helps reduce rear-wheel slip or lockup when downshifting or reducing throttle quickly, particularly on wet roads.
Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements adjust ABS, TCS, and DSCS based on the lean angle during turns. This allows the motorcycle to maintain traction and braking performance through curves and bends.
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the rider to deviations in tire pressure, helping maintain optimal tire performance and safety.
The electronics on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® include selectable ride modes that modify engine response and safety system intervention to match various riding conditions. This feature allows the rider to optimize performance for city traffic, open roads, or more aggressive riding styles.
Ride mode settings are accessible through the multifunction display and hand controls. This integration ensures that riders can quickly adjust the bike’s behavior according to their preference or environmental demands.
Mid-mounted foot controls provide an ergonomic riding posture conducive to both short and long-distance rides. The seating height is set at 25.8 inches when laden, supporting a wide range of rider sizes while maintaining ground clearance and balance.
The chassis geometry, combined with the suspension and tire specifications, promotes stability at low and high speeds. The bike’s lightweight Softail® frame contributes to responsive handling and ease of maneuvering in tight spaces.
Operating the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob® in a test ride setting allows riders to experience its core performance systems in real time. The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic engine, precision-tuned suspension, and rider safety enhancements are best evaluated under practical conditions. Direct interaction with the controls and ride functions provides measurable insight into the model’s responsiveness and design intent.
