Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 N Iron 2015

Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 N Iron 2015

Both the new Sportster XL 883 Iron and its larger sister Sportster XL 1200 X Forty-Eight benefit from the revised suspension - the rear shocks dampen more sensitively and are infinitely adjustable in spring preload. The front forks also do a better job thanks to the progressive spring winding, and sagging is efficiently prevented. The fat 49-millimetre fork on the Forty-Eight in particular also makes a good visual impression.

Sensitive and stable chassis

typical Sportster engines with the necessary vibrations

comfortable seating position
