Explore the 2026 Heritage Classic
Two-up comfort and full LED lighting meet the rumble of a Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic and the edge of a performance-tuned exhaust. Add in USB-C charging, a tech-forward analog gauge, traction control, and a retuned suspension, and the 2026 Heritage Classic rolls deep with old-school looks and new-school moves.
Harley-Davidson's Rider Safety Enhancements is all about giving you that extra peace of mind when things get a little unpredictable. It's a set of smart tech that steps in during tricky situations, helping the bike handle traction while you're accelerating, braking, or slowing down. With the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, the bike even adjusts for cornering, keeping things smooth and steady without you having to think twice.
ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation.
This feature electronically applies braking effort to both wheels when the rider applies the front brake lever and, on some models when the rider applies the rear brake pedal. ELB can help many riders achieve better braking performance. It boosts braking power when needed while minimizing or stopping the linking for lighter braking or at lower speeds.
The TCS is designed to keep the rear wheel from “spinning out” when the motorcycle is accelerating in a straight line and enhances rider confidence.
DSCS is designed to reduce excessive rear-wheel slip and help prevent rear-wheel lock under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt downshift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces.
With Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), your bike’s not rolling anywhere until you’re ready to go. Perfect for hill starts or ramps, VHC keeps the brakes locked after you let go, giving you a smooth, confident launch. Just give the brake lever or pedal a quick squeeze at a stop, and VHC has you covered until you’re ready to roll. Heads up: this isn’t a parking brake replacement, but it sure makes those uphill take-offs a breeze.
TPMS alerts the rider through the information display to low or high tire air pressure. Maintaining proper tire air pressure is important both for vehicle performance and tire life.
C-ABS is a variant of ABS that takes into consideration the lean angle of a two-wheel motorcycle, or the lateral acceleration of a Trike model. The brake pressure required to limit wheel slip when cornering is typically or lower than the pressure required under straight line operation.
C-ELB takes into account the motorcycle lean angle or Trike lateral acceleration. C-ELB will alter the proportioning of brake pressure between the front and rear brakes when braking while cornering in an attempt to improve the ability of the bike to maintain the rider's intended path.
C-TCS is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration when going straight or cornering.
On bikes equipped with C-DSCS, the system helps keep the rear wheel from slipping or locking up when you quickly downshift or let off the throttle, especially on wet or slippery roads. When turning, it can adjust based on how much a two-wheel bike is leaning or the side-to-side motion on a Trike.
Does the same job as regular wheel lift control but with a bit more finesse. It taps into the bike’s Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to fine-tune its control. That means more precise control when you need it most.
