Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1920 Softail Low Rider 'El Diablo' FXRST 2022 The devil's throat

For its second creation in the "Icons" collection, Harley has chosen to ignite spirits. The Low Rider ST has been selected to shake the eyes with an "El Diablo" version. Bathed in a furnace, powered by a heart of beef, this feverish Club-Style blows heat on the road.

As with the CVO, the paintwork is of the highest quality. The craftsmen of the Gunsliger workshop apply the edgings and various layers of paint by hand. These red and burgundy effects, watermarked with golden shadows, are striking. And far more expressive than the drab black and gray hues of the standard Low Rider ST.

The devil doesn't hide, with his horns and tail to dress up the manufacturer's logo. With its fork head and dress, the Low Rider El Diablo pays homage to the 1983 FXRT - the first FX (FactoryExperimental) to bear the Sport Glide name. This is the very essence of the "Icons" range: reaching back into the past for emblematic models to celebrate them today through limited editions.

The El Diablo will be available in 1,500 numbered examples, and owners will appreciate this stronger, better-equipped model. It comes standard with a Rockford Fosgate audio system, available as an option for the Low Rider ST. A 250-watt amp sends the sound through 133 mm speakers, after being processed by a DSP processor and a 7-band equalizer. Volume can be varied according to speed. For the music library, the system connects via Bluetooth.

If the Terminator chose the Fat Boy, the devil could very well plant his fork in this Low Rider. Especially for its engine, very representative of American mechanical temptation. For El Diablo, the biggest of the manufacturer's twins will engrave characters and judgments. Over 17 mkg of torque at just 3,500 rpm. The Heavy Breather air filter directly announces the impetuosity of the enormous engine behind it. The Milwaukee Eight's 117-liter displacement is close to two liters, from which only a glass of bourbon has been subtracted.

With its semi-fairing, small windscreen and 54-liter panniers, Phlégéton's FXRST is an invitation to travel, at the crossroads of big tourers, baggers and cruisers. With a style as strong as a rare steak peppered with Tabasco. Being shy is out of the question.
