We’re excited about some of the new cruiser motorcycles that are releasing in 2020. It seems we are in for a treat this year, laid-back cruisers are only getting better.
Cruisers are and always will be the American staple of motorcycles. When it comes to a voyage where you want to maximize comfortability, be low to the ground, easily add luggage and have a bike to customize to your liking then cruisers are absolutely the way to go.
New Cruiser Motorcycles In 2020
As is the standard every year, we are seeing some major improvements for the 2020 cruiser motorcycles.
They’re looking better than ever so let’s just get right into it.
2020 Honda Rebel 500
The Rebel has been a legendary symbol for Honda for a long time. Known for being one of the most dependable bikes, it’ll be no surprise if the new 2020 models see a lot of success.
Updated suspension, a thicker seat, a new gauge that shows fuel level/gear position and a new LED headlight which is the same light for turn signals and the taillight.
MSRP is $6,199 without ABS. $6,499 with ABS. A great and expected price point for the new Rebel 500.

2020 Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob
Harley-Davidson is the #1 American muscle bike brand. They have always been viewed as having some of the most bad ass bikes that are out there and for good reason. They know their style and they know what it means to create dependable power cruisers.
Their new Street Bob for 2020 features an updated Softail frame, chopped fenders, mini-ape handlebars, hidden digital instrumentation, updated high-performance front suspension and an easily adjustable mono-shock rear suspension.

New 2020 Cruisers Are Here
There’s a little something for everyone when it comes to the new cruiser motorcycles in 2020.
What kind of a cruiser bike do you see yourself getting?

What’s up! I’m Colton, the main guy behind Moto Gear Knowledge. Gear has always been my #1 priority when it comes to riding.
I share my experiences regarding gear and anything else moto related with you here. 👍
I definitely don’t feel the Ducati is a “Cruiser”. I think Indian and Triumph have nice “Cruisers”. The Honda is a nice affordable bike but a little small for us “Husky” riders. Nice site, keep grinding.
We’ll probably be adding more cruisers to the post down the road, these ones were my first personal favorites that I’ve kept an eye on for a while now. When more get added, I’m sure the likes of the Indian Scout and Triumph Rocket will be shared.
Ducati labels the XDiavel as their “Sport-Cruiser” and the seating position is similar. Though I can see where you’re coming from, they seem as a whole different type of bike compared to a big “Husky” cruiser.
I’m glad you enjoyed the post!
