Harley-Davidson XL 883 L SUPERLOW 2016

Menus

At first, they seduced us with chewing gum and coke. Then they set up Elvis Presley, Malibu Alert, and the iPhone. The Americans are doing everything to seduce us, and Harley is no slouch: the manufacturer from Wisconsin continues its offensive on the European market, with models more and more adapted to the way we ride – evidenced by the XR 1200. This 883 Superlow is there to cast an even wider cast than the traditional Sportster. The latter is made to introduce the neophyte to the Harleys; the Superlow intends to become an even more accessible machine, almost a CB 500 of the rider.

Low seat (695 mm), with a more ‘European’ front end with a 120 front tire and a 29 ° caster angle, the 883 L intends to play the difference in the field of maneuverability. With its rims fitted with Michelin Scorcher (specially designed for it) and the geometry of its chassis, the machine promises to be more lively, more efficient, and above all more natural to drive than its peers..

New suspensions appear in 2016. The fork now accommodates a cartridge and 3-setting damping. The rear emulsion shocks can be adjusted for preload. The redesigned saddle should improve the daily life of the posterior.

With controls placed more conventionally, the rider’s arms will also be less strained while riding. No longer getting on a Harley but a roadster should perhaps shock purists a bit, but this will broaden the scope of the brand: the HD look with the driving postions of a bike from the old continent, it makes you think.

2014 added the little extra to the braking level. Called “Foundation”, it implies quite a few small improvements for everyday life as well as for emergencies. A larger front disc, from 292 to 300 mm, a caliper with larger pistons, a new all-aluminum master cylinder, and ABS as standard. The rear assembly also benefits from a revised caliper and master cylinder.
Let’s not forget new controls, an improved electrical system, the H-D Smart with keyless start, a closed loop exhaust and a gear indicator engaged..

This name Superlow is not trivial. This super-low 883 also tends its handlebars (and especially its padded and single-seater saddle) to ‘not very tall’ and young ladies. The suspensions slide on an ultra-short travel of 108mm at the front and 54mm at the rear. Ideal for bringing the seat down to the ground … but certainly not great for comfort. Such a short run is far from ideal for proper cushioning work. The kind of annoyance you put aside by vibrating alongside the twin at 45 ° when snorting. Its fifty or so canassons are not intended to tease young Japanese fighters. So, let’s take this umpteenth version of the 883 for its priesthood: character and look. And now a more instinctive ride.
