The Harley-Davidson Iron 883 is powered by an 883 cc BS6 engine that develops a power of 50.9 HP and a torque of 68 Nm. With front and rear disc brakes, Harley-Davidson Iron 883 comes with an anti-lock braking system. This Iron 883 motorcycle weighs 256 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12.5 liters.
After Harley-Davidson discontinued its more affordable Street models in the United States, the Iron 883 is now the springboard for the American bike maker.
The Iron 883 sticks to the Sportster philosophy and gets a clean, uncluttered design. The peanut-shaped tank has a clean design with the manufacturer’s name in bold letters. With a blacked-out exhaust, frame, and wheels, the use of chrome has been kept to a minimum. The forward-leaning driving position also complements the sporty character of the Iron 883. It has an LCD screen in the instrument cluster that shows gear position, revs, and other details. A switch makes it easy to scroll through the menu on the screen.
As the name suggests, the Iron 883 is powered by an 883cc V-twin engine, producing 70Nm of peak torque at 3,500rpm. As part of the Evolution family of engines, this air-cooled engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox that transmits power to the rear wheel via a belt drive. Built around a tubular steel frame, the Iron 883 rides on conventional telescopic front forks and dual springs at the rear.
The Iron 883 is available in three paint schemes: Black Denim, River Rock Gray Denim, Deadwood Green, and Snake Venom.
How fast can a Harley-Davison Iron 883 go?
Since an 883cc engine is less than half the size of many of its brethren, the 883 models certainly won’t be the fastest Harleys you can get your hands on. This is one of the reasons why the 883 models have become so popular with beginners. The Iron 883 has a top speed of around 118 mph or 170 km/hr. One nifty feature beginners can enjoy on 883 models is the optional ABS system, which senses variable wheel speed to increase driving stability.
