Engine Performance
The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine powers the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special. This engine features a bore of 4.016 inches and a stroke of 4.5 inches, resulting in a compression ratio of 10.5:1. At 2,750 rpm, the engine produces 122 ft-lb of torque, facilitating rapid acceleration and efficient highway cruising. The Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system ensures precise fuel delivery, optimizing both performance and fuel efficiency.
Exhaust System
A blacked-out, 2-1-2 dual exhaust system with tapered mufflers complements the engine. This configuration enhances exhaust flow and contributes to the motorcycle's distinctive auditory presence.
Chassis and Suspension
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special's chassis incorporates a 49 mm Dual Bending Valve front fork and premium low-height hand-adjustable rear shocks. These components work together to provide a balanced and responsive ride. The motorcycle's dimensions include a length of 95.3 inches, a width of 39 inches, and a wheelbase of 64 inches. A ground clearance of 4.9 inches and a seat height of 26.4 inches (laden) contribute to rider comfort and control.
Braking System
The braking system features 32 mm, 4-piston fixed front and rear calipers, with dual floating rotors at the front and a fixed rotor at the rear. Standard Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) enhance braking performance and stability. Optional safety features include Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB), and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS).
Ergonomics and Controls
Mini-Ape handlebars position the rider in an upright stance, with adjustability to personalize height and reach. A tank-mounted analog gauge displays the odometer, range to empty, and gear indicator, ensuring clear and accessible information. Cruise control is standard, allowing riders to maintain set speeds with ease.
Lighting and Visibility
The signature headlight nacelle houses a bright LED headlamp, providing enhanced visibility during nighttime riding. Tail, stop, and front signal lights are rated at 8W/28W, contributing to overall road safety.
Storage Capacity
Stretched saddlebags offer 2.5 cubic feet of luggage capacity, providing practical storage solutions for riders. The design ensures a smooth line that integrates seamlessly with the blacked-out exhaust system.
Safety Enhancements
Additional rider safety enhancements include Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), which prevents the motorcycle from rolling on inclines, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts riders to improper tire inflation levels.
