Softail Softail

Softail - Definition and Overview

The Harley-Davidson Softail frame is designed to look like the hardtail bikes of the past, while still offering the comfort if rear suspension. The shock absorbers are positioned along the axis of the motorcycle, tucked away under the transmission.

There are several Harley-Davidson motorcycles with the Softail frame, including the Softail Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train and Fatboy. These motorcycles have the same engine, transmission and frame, but differ in the choice of fork, wheels and accessories. The Softail models do not have rubber-mounted engines.
