The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Freewheeler® has a stripped-down design that emphasizes functional form. Its blacked-out finish extends across the front wheel, fork legs, dashboard, powertrain, and exhaust system, resulting in a uniform visual composition that reduces glare and simplifies cleaning.
A set of 12-inch mini-ape handlebars provides a commanding riding posture. The bars offer a range of reach and height adjustability, enabling ergonomic alignment for riders of varying builds. This design also contributes to precise steering feedback.
Bobtail rear fenders give the trike a distinctive rear profile while maintaining clearance for the dual rear tires. The structure provides protection against debris while preserving traditional Harley-Davidson® styling elements. The seat is configured for two-up riding and includes passenger grab handles covered with soft-touch material. This arrangement improves passenger confidence and stability during acceleration or braking.
The bodywork integrates a locking, weatherproof trunk that opens from right to left. With 2 cubic feet of storage capacity, the compartment fits two helmets side by side with additional space available for small luggage or accessories. Its reinforced hinges and sealing keep stored contents secure and dry in various weather conditions.
Available finishes include Vivid Black, Billiard Gray, and Whiskey Fire. The combination of color choices with the trike’s blacked-out components enhances visual consistency across the frame, fenders, and wheels.
Braking and Safety Control Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Freewheeler® incorporates the Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements suite. This group of systems assists in managing braking, acceleration, and traction to improve stability during varied riding conditions.
The standard Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) prevents wheel lock during abrupt braking. It maintains steering control by modulating brake pressure to match wheel speed. The Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) feature coordinates front and rear braking forces. When the front lever or rear pedal is engaged, the system distributes brake pressure proportionally to both wheels for improved deceleration control.
The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors wheel speed during acceleration and adjusts torque output to prevent excessive spin. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) assists when downshifting or decelerating rapidly by reducing engine braking force that could otherwise cause rear-wheel slip.
The Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Brake System (C-ABS) adapts ABS operation to cornering scenarios. It measures lateral acceleration and adjusts brake pressure to maintain grip while the vehicle is leaning or turning. The Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB) system performs similar adjustments by proportioning brake force according to the trike’s lateral dynamics. The Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) monitors traction during cornering and regulates torque delivery to prevent spin while maintaining smooth drive out of curves.
These technologies operate independently but are designed to function together as a unified safety framework. Their combined effect increases control precision, particularly on uneven or slippery surfaces.
