harley davidson deadwood 2026

The 2026 Harley-Davidson Deadwood is a factory-built, post-World War II-inspired bobber that strips the brands traditional Softail formula down to its rawest essentials. Built on the Softail chassis as a lowered, blacked-out counterpart to the Heritage Classic, the Deadwood captures the spirit of vintage garage-built custom motorcycles with chopped fenders, a solo tuck-and-roll seat, wire-spoke tubeless wheels, a short smoked windshield, and a single Denim Black paint finish.

Power comes from the air/oil-cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic V-Twin engine (1,923 cc), producing 98 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 6-speed transmission and a 2-into-1 exhaust system, the engine delivers strong, effortless performance. Despite its minimalist, slammed silhouette, featuring a low 25.5-inch laden seat height and a hidden rear monoshock, the Deadwood is equipped with a comprehensive suite of modern technology. Standard features include a 6-axis IMU, Cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, drag-torque slip control, three ride modes (Road, Sport, and Rain), full LED lighting, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and USB-C charging.
