The Iron 883 is powered by an 883cc Air-cooled V-Twin Evolution engine with a 76.2mm bore and 96.8mm stroke with a 9:1 compression ratio. The carburetion is through an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and the engine generates 70 Nm of torque at 3500 RPM matched to a 5-speed gearbox. Though the brand has not mentioned it on the website the engine is assumed to be BS6 emissions compliant.
In terms of styling, the 2020 Iron 883 comes with a retro anti-chrome theme and features chopped fenders, black powder-coated engine, black rocker covers, round air cleaner cover finished in black, black front forks with gaiters, black side panels, a single black seat with tuck and roll pleated upholstery for that old school charm, 9-spoke black alloy wheels with machine-finished accents, black exhaust headers & black tapered mufflers and a low rise drag-style handlebar finished in black.
The Harley-Davidson Iron 883 measures 2,185mm in length with a 1,515mm of the wheelbase, 140mm of ground clearance and a 760mm low seat height that enables the rider to have complete control over the 247 kg motorcycle.

Braking power comes from disc brakes with dual-piston callipers on both the wheels.
