Top 15 Bikes From Sons of Anarchy

Bikes from Sons of Anarchy are just as iconic as the characters who rode them. Years after the show first aired, Sons of Anarchy still resonates with bikers and TV fans alike. More than a crime drama, the series celebrates outlaw motorcycle culture, brotherhood, and life on the open road in the fictional town of Charming, California.

In this article, we break down the 15 most iconic bikes from Sons of Anarchy and explore why these machines became legends of the show.

1. Jax Teller’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport (2003)

Jax Teller’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport

Jax Teller's ride in Sons of Anarchy is legendary. Most of the time, he's on a 2003 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide Sport. This bike was a hit since it had the classic Harley vibe but handled way better than your typical cruiser.

Jax's Dyna is blacked out, giving it this tough look that totally fits his role as he climbs the ranks in the SAMCRO club. It's pretty stripped down, ditching the shiny stuff for a raw, outlaw feel. Check out that small drag-style windshield – barely there but keeps the bike looking mean.

A few things make Jax's bike special. Those tall T-bar handlebars make him sit up high and stand out from the other club members. Plus, the Arlen Ness quarter fairing gives it a bit of style and helps with the wind when he's speeding. The Thunderheader exhaust makes this deep, rumbling sound, which goes great with the show's vibe. The black solo seat? Simple and all about the rider.

The gas tank has the Sons of Anarchy club logo, which is the Grim Reaper. It stands for death, loyalty, and the club's wildlife. It's a big deal in the show. You see it all the time when they're riding and in the ads. Jax's Dyna just becomes a symbol of the show.

Jax rides this bike from seasons 1 to 5, during his change from unsure to leader. The bike becomes part of who he is. By the final season, Jax switches to his dad's old Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, like going back to the club's roots and wrapping up his story.

2. John Teller’s Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead (1946)

John Teller’s Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead

John Teller's bike from Sons of Anarchy is way more than just some cool ride. It kinda shows where the whole club started and what they were first about. We're talking about a 1946 Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead, a bike that really set the standard for American V-twins after World War II.

Now, the show didn't use a totally original Knucklehead. They got their hands on a custom chopper made to look like one. It had a front end like a '46 Harley, plus a simple frame and gas tanks from the Panhead era. That mix and match thing? That's how a lot of bikes back in the day really were. People changed them up instead of keeping them stocked.

That front suspension gives the bike that old-school look and feel, and the frame means it's a no-frills ride. The gas tanks just make it look bigger and tougher, with that old chopper vibe. Put it all together, and you've got a bike that looks rough, built to last, and full of motorcycle history.

In the show, John Teller's Knucklehead is like the soul of SAMCRO and his original dream for the club. It's a total contrast to the newer bikes the guys ride now. You don't see it much at first, but that makes it even cooler when it shows up later.

Then, in season 7, that Knucklehead becomes super important. Jax grabs his dad's bike and rides it for his last ride. It's a big moment. Leaving his modern bike behind, Jax is rolling with his dad's story and what the club was meant to be.

When Jax finally ends up on that ’46 Knucklehead, the bike stops being just a motorcycle. It suddenly becomes about fate, family, and finishing something that started long before him.

3. Clay Morrow’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide (2008)

Clay Morrow’s Harley-Davidson

Clay Morrow's ride really shows who he is: the main man and OG president of SAMCRO. He rolls on a 2008 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide. It's a ride with muscle that just fits Clay's tough leader style and how he carries himself.

That ride's got a Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine, which is about 1,584 cc. It kicks out around 92 ft-lbs of torque, so it has power when you need it. It's awesome for pulling away from a stop and keeping steady on those long highway runs. This fits Clay since he likes control more than just going fast. The Dyna Super Glide's frame makes it perfect for riding with the crew and looking intimidating while doing it.

The look of Clay's Dyna is on point, mainly black with white bits that make it look sharp but official. It has a bit more to it, look-wise, than Jax's ride, pointing out Clay's spot as the leader. The bike just looks solid and senior.

The fuel tank art seals the deal. It's got a black-on-white Grim Reaper and Sons of Anarchy – California written bold. It's classic, showing how Clay is all about the old ways and the club's order. You know right away what his deal is.

Clay rides this Dyna Super Glide from the first to the fifth season, when he's running things. The bike becomes part of who he is in SAMCRO. So, when he loses his title, not being able to ride that bike says it all. In Sons of Anarchy, taking a member's bike is a big deal—it means they've lost who they are, their freedom, and where they stand in the club.

4. Tig Trager’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob (2006)

Tig Trager’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob

People always ask me which bike from Sons of Anarchy screams outlaw, and I usually say Tig Trager's. I think his 2006 Harley-Davidson FXDBI Dyna Street Bob is one of the meanest-looking bikes on the show.

Engine-wise, it’s got an air-cooled V-Twin that’s about 1,450 cc, kicking out around 85 ft-lbs of torque. It's not super speedy, but it’s got some serious pull right away. That totally fits Tig, you know? He doesn’t ride smoothly; he's raw, quick off the mark, and a bit crazy.

What makes the Street Bob special is that it's stripped down. It’s got a solo seat, tiny fenders, and not much for comfort. I’ve always thought this simple style makes the bike look lighter and more dangerous, especially when it’s rolling with the crew.

Tig's personal stuff makes it even better. His bike is black with some shiny spots, and it’s covered in skulls and spikes all over. It’s loud, and pretty sure that’s the point. When you see it coming, you get the feeling is more threat than anything else. That look is just like Tig.

He’s also got those little ape-hanger bars, so he looks like he’s leaning in to fight. The rear shocks keep the bike low to the ground, making it look like it’s ready to jump.

Let's be real, when you check out Tig’s Street Bob, you get what people mean by outlaw motorcycle. It’s not comfy, it’s scary, and it’s got a violent style. I don’t think any other bike on the show fits Tig’s wild side like this one.

Model Specifications

5. Opie Winston’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport (2003)

Opie’s Harley-Davidson

Whenever someone brings up Opie Winston’s bike, I always say this: on paper, it seems almost the same as Jax’s, but when you look closer, it’s totally different. Opie rides a 2003 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide Sport, just like Jax’s main ride, and I don’t think that's random.

Under the hood, it’s got the same 1,450 cc air-cooled V-Twin engine, tuned for solid torque instead of crazy speed. It's the kind of engine that feels reliable, not flashy. That’s Opie all over. He’s not trying to be the center of attention. He just wants a bike that works hard and doesn’t quit.

Looks-wise, Opie’s Dyna is mostly blacked out with hardly any chrome, which gives it a darker, tougher vibe. It doesn’t look perfect; it looks used, like it’s been through hell. Jax’s bike is cleaner, but Opie’s feels more down-to-earth and a little rough, which fits his personality in the show.

One thing that always grabs me is the custom art on the gas tank. Instead of the Grim Reaper, Opie’s tank says “Sons of Anarchy” above a pile of skulls. It feels like old-school club artwork, kind of like Clay’s style. It shows how loyal Opie is to the club and its history, even when it costs him everything.

The main thing is how close Opie’s bike is to Jax’s. Same model. Same year. Similar setup. I think this is on purpose. It shows their bond and history, especially at the start of the show when they ride together. They look like equals, even if the club says otherwise.

Also, Opie fixes up an old Panhead chopper in season 4, which shows he knows his way around bikes and loves old-school Harleys. But even with that project, his main bike is still that 2003 Dyna Super Glide Sport. It’s the bike he trusts, the one he rides when things are serious, and the one that really shows who he is.

6. Chibs Telford’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob

Chibs Telford’s Harley-Davidson

If you want my opinion on the best-looking bike from Sons of Anarchy, I'd pick Chibs' Dyna Street Bob. It's not showy or super loud, but all the parts seem to fit together perfectly.

Chibs rides a Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, probably a 2007-2012 model, set up in a simple way. It's got matte black paint, no front, and no extra stuff. It just looks like a bike that’s ready to go. To me, it seems like the kind of ride you pick once you’ve been around enough to know what you don't really need.

The cool part about Chibs’ bike is the personal touches. There’s a small St. Andrew’s Cross on the back of his seat, a little shout-out to his Scottish background. It's easy to miss, but once you see it, you can’t ignore it. The anarchy A on the gas tank gives you a hint about Chibs’ background and loyalty issues.

He uses matte black Z-bars and avoids chrome, which keeps the bike looking serious and ready for action. No shiny bits to distract you. A lot of fans think Chibs has the coolest bike on the show, and I understand why. It’s not angry like Tig’s or loaded with meaning like Jax’s – it just looks right.

7. Bobby Munson’s Custom Rigid Chopper

Bobby Munson’s Custom Rigid Chopper

Bobby's custom chopper on Sons of Anarchy is something else. Seriously, whenever I see it, I forget I'm watching TV. I just think that's a real biker's bike, not some fake prop.

It's a custom rigid-frame chopper, built just for the show. It isn't a factory-made Harley, even though it looks like one at first. That's what makes it cool. From what I can tell, it has either a Harley Evolution motor or an S& S V-Twin, depending on what they're shooting. Either way, that motor with an open belt tells you everything. It's not built for comfort or quiet rides or long trips. It's built to be felt.

The frame makes that clear. The long, hardtail frame gives it that stretched-out look, like old-school choppers. No rear suspension means you feel every bump. Add in the springer front forks, and you get that old-school mechanical movement that you don't see on modern bikes. It's raw and physical, and it demands your attention when you ride it – and that's the cool part.

What I like best is how it fits Bobby's character. It isn't as aggressive as Tig's, and it isn't as symbolic as Jax's. It's traditional, honest, and based in old biker culture. It shows Bobby's respect for history, loyalty, and the biker code.

You see this chopper a lot in seasons 3 through 5, and Bobby always looks right on it. I think it's his true bike, even more than the Harleys he rides later on. He looks the most comfortable on it, like it's part of him, not just something he's riding for the club.

8. Mayan MC Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail

Mayan MC Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail

You can always spot a Mayan MC member, not just because of their club colors, but also because they all seem to ride 1996 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softails. Just like SAMCRO, each Mayan gives their bike a personal touch, so no two rides are exactly alike.

The Heritage Softail has been around for a while. Bill Davis sold the idea to Harley-Davidson way back in 1982, and they started selling them in '83. It looks like an old-school hardtail, but it's got a hidden suspension that makes for a less bumpy ride. The engine's a V-Twin that puts out 57 horsepower and about 71 ft-lbs of torque, which is plenty of power whether you're on city streets or out on the open road.

Mayans like to make their Softails their own. You'll often see things like whitewall tires, high handlebars, fishtail exhaust, and paint jobs that show who they are and where they stand in the club. All that adds up to make the Heritage Softail the perfect ride for the Mayan MC, because it's tough, sticks to its roots, and definitely gets noticed.

9. Happy Lowman’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob (2011)

Happy Lowman’s Harley-Davidson

Happy's ride is exactly what you'd think it would be—maybe even more so. It's dark, mean, and you can't miss it. It feels less like a way to get around and more like a threat on wheels.

He rides a Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob from around 2011. If you're into Street Bobs, you get the idea. It's a basic Dyna from the factory: solo seat, skinny tank, tiny fenders, no extra stuff or shiny chrome. It's a blank slate, and Happy turned it into something scary.

The first thing you see is the paint job, but it's not just for looks. Reaper of Death is painted on the back fender in big, old-style letters. The gas tank has a Grim Reaper airbrushed on it, holding a scythe, but it's all dark and muted, not bright and flashy. It feels like the bike is marked, not just decorated. It’s right in your face, which is the point. This bike doesn’t just say Happy is here—it’s a warning.

The bike is set up to be small and ready to fight. He uses drag bars so he's leaning forward a bit, making the bike look like it’s hunting when he's riding. The short rear fender makes the bike look tight and ready to go, like it’s coiled up. Everything about it makes you think of speed, control, and hidden anger, not showing off.

Underneath, it’s still a Dyna, likely with the Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine that was normal back then. That engine is known for its strong power at low speeds, and it fits Happy just right. He’s not the kind of rider who revs it up and shows off—he's about strong pull, straight-ahead power, and getting the job done. The exhaust sounds deep and mean, so you know he’s there even before you see him.

What makes Happy’s Street Bob really special is that he’s always riding it. It’s not just a bike for one scene or in the background. He’s on it in tons of episodes, over and over, and it becomes part of who he is. When you see that bike coming, you know what’s about to happen. Not many bikes in Sons of Anarchy get that well-known.

10. Marcus Álvarez’s Harley-Davidson Road King

Marcus Álvarez’s Harley-Davidson Road King

If you want my opinion on which bike shouts authority in Sons of Anarchy, it's gotta be Marcus Álvarez’s Harley-Davidson Road King. That custom touring bike tells you right away that he's not just some club member. He’s the head honcho of the Mayans MC, and his ride makes that clear before he even says a word.

Under the hood, it’s rocking a big Twin Cam engine, maybe the 103ci or even 110ci, plus Screamin’ Eagle upgrades. That setup means serious torque and smooth power, just what you need for a big touring bike. Unlike the Sons’ stripped-down bikes, this one feels strong, steady, and ready for long rides. You can almost hear the power in the engine's rumble.

But the color is what makes it stand out. That bright emerald green with a skull logo on the tank, plus all that shiny chrome, just pops. To me, it fits Álvarez perfectly—bold, can’t miss it, and a bit flashy, just like him. Put it next to the Sons’ black bikes, and you see the difference right away. It doesn’t just roll up; it yells, I’m the boss here.

Here's a cool fact: Emilio Rivera, the actor, used his Road King on the show. So when you see Álvarez riding, you’re seeing someone who actually knows his way around that bike, not just some actor pretending. And get this: the same bike shows up in the Mayans MC spin-off! I think that’s awesome – it keeps that connection alive.

That bike never breaks down on screen. In a crazy show full of action, Álvarez’s Road King always runs perfectly. That solidness speaks to his power, his control, and his professionalism. It's hard to miss when it rolls into a scene, and you know who’s in charge.

Álvarez’s Road King is more than just a bike. It’s a statement. It’s strong, confident, and makes you pay attention—just like the man himself.

11. Piney Winston’s Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Tri-Glide (Trike)

Piney Winston’s Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Tri-Glide

If you’ve ever seen Piney Winston cruising on his Electra Glide Tri-Glide, you just know there's more to it than just power. This ain’t just a bike—it’s a real symbol of not giving up. Piney’s ride is a three-wheel Electra Glide Tri-Glide, with a Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine, about 1,690 cc, that cranks out around 101 ft-lbs of torque. That’s plenty for a trike, giving him smooth, reliable power when he’s hitting the road.

But what makes Piney’s trike special is how he’s made it his own. Since he’s got emphysema, he’s got an oxygen tank strapped right behind his seat. Most folks would think that's a deal-breaker, but not Piney. He just makes it work. That oxygen tank ain’t just there, it’s part of his story. It shows how tough he is and how he’s not letting anything slow him down.

I gotta say, that fairing is something else. It’s got a Grim Reaper painted on it, wearing an oxygen mask. A nice, clever, and sad kind of touch, you know? It’s like Piney’s riding next to death, knowing he’s not gonna live forever, but still not giving in. Every time I see that trike, I see guts, a whole lot of will, and a real old-school biker look.

Piney never quit riding, never backed down, and that trike, with that Reaper logo, shows off his never-say-die thing. When you see him riding, you just know it’s more than a bike—it’s his statement on who he is.

12. “Hellrazor” Custom Chopper

The Hellrazor in Sons of Anarchy

If you've ever seen Hellrazor on TV, you instantly know why it sticks with you. It’s not just some bike you cruise around on—it's a statement, a total beast, and a cool piece of art and machine work all in one. Rusty Coones, who plays Quinn, made it, so you know it's something special. It's a completely custom chopper. None of it came from a factory. No stock Harley parts here; everything was made just for this bike and the show, from the frame down to the wheels.

Under the hood, it’s got an S&S V-Twin, probably around 124 ci, and it doesn't care about being comfy or useful—that power is right there. The custom fuel tank and long frame give it a mean, low look. The huge front wheel, about 27 inches, grabs you right away. That long, hard frame? Not built for comfort. Every ride feels planned, like it’s challenging you to handle it.

The belt drive and big wheels just add to the tough feel. This bike isn't trying to hide anything—Hellrazor is over-the-top, shiny, and made to get looks. It almost feels like it has its own attitude. It kind of matches Quinn's rebel vibe when he joins SAMCRO.

What’s really cool is how few of these exist. They only made two Hellrazors, and just for the show. Kurt Sutter, who created the show, loved it so much he wanted it featured a lot. You can tell they really thought about every scene with it. Quinn only rides it in a few episodes—mostly around season 6—but it makes you remember it.

Honestly, I think Hellrazor is one of the craziest bikes to ever show up on Sons of Anarchy. More than just a custom chopper, it’s a piece of biker drama. It looks mean, rides tough, and has the same bold feel that made Quinn so memorable in the club. You can’t help but like the work and the guts it takes just watching it on TV.

13. Linc Potter’s Triumph Bonneville (1970s style)

Linc Potter’s Triumph Bonneville

Okay, so you know that orange and cream bike Linc Potter rides in Sons of Anarchy? The one that looks totally out of place among all those black and green bikes? Yeah, that Triumph Bonneville tells you everything you need to know about him.

It's basically a new Bonneville made to look like the old ones from the '70s. It’s got a 790cc engine that’s not too wild, which suits Linc perfectly. He's all about being in control. The bike has this classic look with a teardrop tank. He’s not trying to copy anyone else, and his bike shows it.

But the thing that really gets you is that orange and cream paint job on the tank. The rest of the bike is normal, but that color makes it impossible to miss. It screams that he’s an outsider. He isn't riding a black Harley like the club members. He’s a fed, and the bike is like saying, “Hey, I’m not one of you.”

People either love it or hate it, but I think it’s great. It's a pop of color in a dark world, shouting, Linc is different! The first time you see him on it in Season 4, it’s so clear. All those black Harleys just make him stand out more.

It might not be as flashy as Jax’s Dyna or Tig’s Street Bob, Linc’s Bonneville sticks with you because it’s full of character. It's quiet but confident, smooth but not invisible, and it just fits him. That’s why it’s unforgettable in the Sons' world.

14. T.O. “Orwell” Screamin’ Eagle Road King

T.O. “Orwell”’s road king

If you want a bike that grabs everyone's eyeballs the second it shows up, check out T.O. Orwell’s Road King. It's not trying to be quiet, and it shouldn't—just like T.O. himself. Right off the bat, this bike screams, “I’m loud, I’m wild, and I stand out.”

Under the hood, it’s a Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King that has been tricked out with Screamin’ Eagle parts, probably with the 117ci Milwaukee-Eight engine. That’s a ton of power for a big touring bike. The engine isn't just for looks—it gives you a smooth, powerful ride, which fits T.O.’s big personality. You feel this bike in your gut as it drives by, not just hear it.

Looks-wise, there is no way you will miss it. It's painted bright orange from front to back, which really shows T.O.’s character: sure of himself, full of energy, and a bit much. The quality paint job gives it a clean, stylish look that sets it apart from the Sons’ usual black Harleys. Even the 21″ front wheel and special front suspension are there for performance—plus they give the bike a strong look. This makes it look taller, meaner, and totally unforgettable on TV.

This Road King screams top-notch. From the great Screamin’ Eagle parts to the small chrome touches, it’s made to wow you, both when you look at it and when you ride it. Even though it’s wild, it still looks right at home when T.O. rolls up with the Sons in season 6. It fits in with the other big cruisers, but your eyes still go right to it.

What I love most is how the bike and rider are a great pair. T.O. is brave, daring, and doesn't care what people think, and you can see that in every line, color, and part of this Road King. It’s not just a touring bike—it’s a way of showing who you are.

15. Half-Sack Epps’s Harley-Davidson Dyna (White)

Half-Sack Epps’s Harley-Davidson Dyna

Half-Sack's bike always grabs my attention—mostly 'cause it's super white. In a club where almost every bike is blacked out or dark green, his Dyna just screams, I'm different! You can't miss it, and I think that was the whole point. He's the new guy, still trying to prove himself, and his bike totally shows that he's an outsider.

From what I can tell, it looks like a Street Bob or a Super Glide from around 2003–2004. The engine is the normal Dyna V-Twin—solid, dependable, and made for cruising—but it's the little things that make it stick in your head. Half-Sack kept it simple: a black solo seat, ape-hanger bars, and not much else. Nothing flashy, nothing too crazy, just enough to ride cool and feel good on the road.

I’ve always liked how the white bike stood out on screen. When he's riding with Jax, Opie, or Tig, the white really pops. It tells you he's the newbie. He's different. He’s still trying to find where he fits in. It shows a little story just by the bike he rides.

Even without crazy paint or lots of add-ons, the white Dyna is memorable. It proves you don't need a bunch of chrome or designs to stand out—sometimes just being white when everyone else is black is enough. That's why Half-Sack's ride is one of my favorites from the start of the show. It’s clean, it has a purpose, and it totally fits who he is.

Conclusion

In Sons of Anarchy, the motorcycles weren’t just machines—they were extensions of the riders themselves. Every scarred paint job, roaring V-Twin, and custom handlebar told a story about loyalty, rebellion, and the outlaw life. From Jax’s blacked-out Dyna to Bobby’s fearless chopper and Linc Potter’s bold Triumph, these bikes weren’t props—they were characters, symbols, and silent witnesses to the drama, blood, and brotherhood that unfolded on the streets of Charming.

Decades from now, these rides will still turn heads, spark conversations, and inspire bikers to chase the same freedom the Sons lived for. Because in the world of SOA, it wasn’t just about who you were—it was about what you rode. And the roar of those engines? That echo will never fade.
