2016 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200X Forty-Eight. Harley-Davidson updated the Forty-Eight for 2016, and the result is a bike with improved handling to match the easy-going Sportster 1202cc Evolution motor. The most important changes for the 2016 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight are right up front; the Sportster 48 gets beefy new 49mm forks (up 10mm from last year, and now with cartridge damping) with stronger triple clamps and a fork brace, improving the handling of the bike.Riding the Forty-Eight, the new front end it immediately apparent when putting it into a turn. The previous edition of the bike wasn’t bad, but this is a much more substantial feel, which improves confidence in the handling. The same excellent Michelin Scorcher 31 is used, with a fat 130mm width on a new 16-inch 9-spoke cast aluminum wheel (it replaces a traditional laced wheel).
