1. The SuperLow

As the name suggests the SuperLow comes with low seating and low pricing. There is, however, no compromise on the build as it comes with a new suspension and a mean and compact chassis.

Price begins at Rs 5,50,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

2. The Dyna Super Glide Custom

This is a cruiser that sticks to classic Harley styling. It has low seat height, matched with an easy-going ergonomic fit and is powered by a 45-degree, air-cooled, pushrod big-bore V-Twin engine.

Costs Rs 11,50,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

3. The Dyna Street Bob

This is a Big Twin superbike with classic bobber style. It is stripped down to the bare essentials for a purely authentic ride. Available for a price of Rs 9,95,000.

4. The Forty-Eight

This is an urban brawler features a fat front tyre, steel peanut tank, a low-slung saddle, and comes ready to rip through any scene.

Note the Underslung rearview mirrors of this sportster motorcycle.

5. The Street Bob

This is a tough custom bike with a serious attitude and performance to match. It can be customised to suit your needs in the paint jobs.

6. The Night Rod Special

The evil twin of the V-Rod is aggressively styled for a sinister look that takes the bike from dark to pitch black. Pricing for Evil starts at Rs 19,55,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

7. Fat Boy

The original fat custom icon comes with a burly style that's often imitated but never with succes. This superbike now now comes with ABS and is available in India at a starting price of Rs 19,20,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

8. The Iron 883

This is a blacked-out bruiser in a raw, aggressive throwback. No chrome, no apologies.

Just an authentic ride, pure Harley Davidson. No frills as the company says. The Iron 883 is available in India for Rs 6,50,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

9. The Super Glide

It comes with its custom style kicked up a notch. Lots of chrome and plenty of power. This is the first-ever factory made custom bike which sports brute strength, metal and glittering chrome.

Available for Rs 11,50,000 ex-shorwroom Delhi.

10. The Fat Boy Special

This version has a new reduced-reach handlebar for more comfortable ergonomics. A lower, narrower seat shape places the Fat Boy rider in a new "in the bike" position. Available in India for Rs 19,70,000 ex-shorwroom Delhi.
