Source: https://indianautoforum.com/bikes/harley-davidson/heritage-classic/news **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. ## Updates - 2026-05: Harley-Davidson launched the Heritage Classic Liberty Edition on May 11, 2026 - a globally limited variant capped at 2,500 units worldwide, featuring Midnight Ember paint, patriotic eagle graphics, a blue-tinted windshield, red/white/blue accent stitching, and embossed Liberty Edition badging. Launched to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, it is priced at Rs 26,36,000 ex-showroom in India. - 2026-01: Harley-Davidson unveiled 13 new 2026 motorcycles on January 14, 2026, including the 2026 Heritage Classic and the Heritage Classic Liberty Edition.

The move was a direct response to competitive pricing from Indian Motorcycle's Super Chief Limited, which entered the Indian market at under Rs 25 lakh. - 2025-04: Harley-Davidson upgraded the India-spec Heritage Classic to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine (1,923cc) for the 2025 model year, replacing the previous Milwaukee-Eight 114 (1,868cc).
