Harley-Davidson introduced this nameplate for the 2018 model year as part of its major Softail redesign, replacing the older Heritage Softail Classic identity with a darker, more modern factory-custom cruiser. The bike keeps the brand’s familiar nostalgic silhouette, drawing on Harley styling cues from the 1950s, but pairs that vintage-inspired look with contemporary chassis engineering and light-touring hardware such as a detachable windshield and saddlebags. It was positioned as a comfortable, character-rich cruiser for riders who wanted classic Harley cues without stepping into a full touring model. Since its debut, the nameplate has remained in production and has continued to evolve with Harley-Davidson’s Softail platform.
