2026 Harley-Davidson® Deadwood™

The New Black Sheep of the Black Hills

The 2026 Deadwood channels the same wandering spirit that’s pulled riders toward Sturgis and the Black Hills for generations, wrapped in one of the darkest silhouettes Harley-Davidson® has ever built. Denim Black paint, black tubeless laced wheels, a smoked chopped windshield, blacked-out powertrain components, solo seat, and a slammed profile built around a shorter rear monoshock give it plenty of attitude, while the five-gallon tank, Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Classic motor, and modern Softail® chassis keep one foot in Harley-Davidson history and the other somewhere out in the Badlands.

Features may include:

Black Denim Paint + Orange Tank Graphics

Denim Black paint covers the tank and fenders while orange wetslide graphics sharpen the Deadwood’s dark silhouette with enough contrast to make things really pop. Wrapped around a classic five-gallon teardrop tank, the design pulls timeless Harley-Davidson cruiser attitude into a new era.

Blacked-Out Styling + Clean Fender Design

From the front end and controls to the powertrain, exhaust, and tank console, the Deadwood is blacked-out nearly everywhere you look. Clean, unornamented fenders and minimal trim help keep the silhouette lean and uncluttered.

Smoked Chopped Windshield

A smoked chopped windshield gives the Deadwood a darker, more alluring profile while reinforcing the blacked-out vibe that defines the motorcycle from start to finish.

Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic + Classic Round Intake

The Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic motor is tuned to deliver broad torque with smooth street performance that feels right at home rolling through small towns or stretching a ride long past your original route. A classic round intake preserves the timeless Harley-Davidson cruiser character generations of riders have fallen in love with.

Shortened Rear Monoshock

With one of the lowest seat heights in the entire Harley-Davidson lineup, a shortened rear monoshock gives the Deadwood its low, slammed stance without giving up modern ride quality beneath its classic bobber-inspired silhouette. Hydraulic preload adjustment makes it easy to adapt suspension feel for changing loads and riding conditions.

2-Into-1 Exhaust

Tuned around the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic motor, the 2-into-1 exhaust delivers strong low-end response and the kind of deep bark that sounds even better bouncing off canyon walls.

Five-Inch Gauge + Ride Modes + Rider Safety Enhancements

The tank-mounted five-inch gauge blends analog attitude with modern ride information while keeping things clean and simple. Road, Sport, and Rain modes adjust throttle response and traction intervention for changing roads and weather, while Cornering ABS, traction control, drag-torque slip control, tire pressure monitoring, and cruise control help keep the Deadwood feeling smooth and confident no matter where you take it.

USB-C Charging

A USB-C charging port mounted beneath the fuel tank keeps devices powered without disrupting the clean, stripped-back look of the motorcycle.

Adjustable Brake Lever

The adjustable front brake lever lets riders fine-tune reach and feel to better match hand size and riding preference. Small changes in reach can make a big difference over a full day of riding.
