Style

There are big differences on styling for your 2022 Harley-Davidson® Iron 883™ vs 2022 Harley-Davidson® Forty-Eight®. For example, the Forty-Eight® gets a fat tire setup with Reef Blue, White Sand Pearl, and Vivid Black factory paints. The back tire of the Iron 883™ gets some real heft to it, but it doesn't have the same two fat tires. It also gets a Gunship Gray option over the Reef Blue of the Forty-Eight®. Both bikes have a forward riding position and a stylish tank, but the Forty-Eight® gets a peanut tank with a more compact look and larger slope down. Falcon's Fury Harley-Davidson® is glad to show off either of these bikes at any time. They're a couple of laid back cruisers that wear their mission in their design. From the iconic peanut tank of the Forty-Eight® to the Tuck and Roll seat of the Iron 883™, these bikes wear the H-D® heritage within their designs.

Power

The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Iron 883™ is a gorgeous bike, but it also comes with an Evolution engine that's rubber-mounted. It features 54 lb-ft of torque that is just right for smooth city tours. If you want more launch power, the 73 lb-ft of torque on the 2022 Harley-Davidson® Forty-Eight® delivers a little more takeoff speed at your disposal. And since it's an H-D®, you know you're going to get that instant gratification that comes only from this brand. The lean angles on the bikes are slightly different, too, with the 883 having a 28-degree lean angle over 27-degrees on both the left and right of the Forty-Eight®. You can feel the difference in performance on both of these models by checking them out in a test ride at Falcon's Fury Harley-Davidson®.

Unique Features

The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Iron 883™ has several distinguished features that set it apart from other bikes of this type. It has a tuck and roll seat that's a blast of nostalgia for anyone who remembers bobbers from the first days of H-D®. It also gets a nice set of 9-spoke wheels that are blacked out for extra handsomeness. Both of these features can make for a more comfortable or thrilling ride experience. The way a bike looks to its owner does matter in forming impressions of its ride style, and you'll definitely find that the Iron 883™ has a style all its own. The 2022 Harley-Davidson® Forty-Eight® comes with its own Foundation brake system. This is a higher performance system that you won't find on the Iron 883™. Neither of these bikes is "better," but they'll be better for certain kinds of bikers. Depending on your tastes, you'll find that these features make or break your decision.
