Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic - Latest News & Updates

June 2025 - Harley-Davidson cuts Heritage Classic price by Rs 3.34 lakh Harley-Davidson India repriced its entire big-bike lineup in June 2025, with the Heritage Classic seeing the steepest reduction - down Rs 3,34,000 to an ex-showroom price of Rs 23,85,000. The move was widely seen as a response to growing competition from Indian Motorcycle, which had aggressively priced the Super Chief Limited at under Rs 25 lakh. The price cut was short-lived for some markets, with the 2026 models now listed at Rs 25,71,000 - reflecting currency and import cost adjustments.

2025 Model Year - Milwaukee-Eight 117 replaces 114 The 2025 Heritage Classic India specification was upgraded to the larger Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine (1,923cc), replacing the previous 1,868cc Milwaukee-Eight 114. The 117 adds torque and refines throttle response, and also brings the full suite of Harley's rider safety technology including cornering ABS, cornering traction control, and drag-torque slip control (DSCS).

2026 - Liberty Edition introduced Harley-Davidson added a limited Liberty Edition for the 2026 model year, featuring Midnight Ember paint, eagle graphics, a blue-tinted windshield, and premium leather detailing on the seat and saddlebags. The Liberty Edition is priced at Rs 26,36,000 ex-showroom and is available in limited quantities through select dealerships.

Harley-Davidson India dealer expansion Harley-Davidson, now operated in India by Hero MotoCorp as the local partner, has expanded its dealer network to 35+ cities. This has improved access to authorised service centres - previously a major pain point for Heritage Classic owners outside metro cities.
