This nameplate was introduced for the 2015 model year as a lower-riding member of Harley-Davidson’s full-dress touring lineup. It took the established Ultra Limited formula and adapted it for riders who wanted the same long-distance touring focus, passenger amenities, and hardbag/Tour-Pak convenience in a more accessible package. The model was identified in Harley-Davidson’s touring VIN/model tables beginning in 2015 and continued through subsequent model years in the late-2010s.
The Ultra Limited Low sat in Harley-Davidson’s premium Touring family rather than as a separate platform, and its purpose was straightforward: deliver the flagship Ultra touring experience with reduced seat height and a more confidence-inspiring stance at low speed and when stopped. That positioning made it especially appealing to riders who wanted a large touring motorcycle but found the standard Ultra Limited too tall or intimidating. In Harley-Davidson’s lineup, it bridged the gap between the brand’s traditional big touring bikes and the growing demand for more accessible long-distance machines.
The nameplate remained part of the touring catalog through the 2019 model year. It does not appear in the 2020 Touring model VIN table, indicating that the model was discontinued after 2019 rather than carried forward under the same name. As a result, the Ultra Limited Low is best understood as a distinct late-2010s touring variant tied to the broader Rushmore-era Harley-Davidson touring refresh, remembered for combining luxury touring equipment with a lower, easier-to-manage riding position.
