2024 Honda Shadow Phantom ABS: COOLER THAN EVER.
Introducing the 2024 Honda Shadow Phantom ABS…
Our Honda Shadow Phantom may be a traditional-style cruiser, but it’s sporting some major updates and improvements for 2024. First of all, we’ve given the Phantom a powerful new rear disc brake this year for excellent, linear stopping power. Plus, the new rear disc means you can get a Phantom with optional anti-lock brakes (ABS) now.* Then there are all the styling updates: new paint and graphic patterns, a new headlight cover, bright, machined-edge cylinder-head fins, a new air cleaner cover, and new instruments. There’s even a cool new solo seat standard, with an optional passenger seat and footpegs available—you decide how you want to roll. New fork-leg covers, and front and rear LED turn signals complete the package.
Few V-twin cruisers can measure up to the clean, understated style and rock-solid reliability of the Shadow Phantom. For the 2024 model year, the cruiser icon takes it to the next level with updates to its quintessential bobber styling, along with improved performance. With a two-tone gas tank, new handlebar, handlebar clamps, headlight cover, air-cleaner cover, display instruments, turn signals and machine-cut cylinder-head fins, this cruiser’s appearance is only more timeless than that of its predecessor. In addition, an updated single seat provides comfort for long, relaxing rides, and an available passenger seat and footpegs are offered for those who want to bring a plus-one along for the ride. A new ABS version is available for the new model year, and both versions receive a rear disc brake. And to top it off, the Shadow Phantom is built with Honda’s unmatched durability, quality and reliability, giving owners the peace of mind to enjoy the sense of freedom that only a V-twin cruiser can provide.
Note: Non-ABS version not available in California.

STYLE
BOBBER-INSPIRED STYLING
The short fenders, clean seat, hidden wiring and de-chromed treatment all give the Phantom its unique look: like an old-school cruiser that’s ready for the way we roll today.
TANK-MOUNTED INSTRUMENTS
A key element of the Shadow Phantom’s look are the tank-mounted instruments. Set in a blacked-out pod to match the rest of the bike’s look, they combine a traditional feel with a thoroughly modern treatment.
BLACKED-OUT STYLING
The closer you look at a Shadow Phantom, the better it looks. That’s because the styling is so unified. Check out the way the blacked-out engine, rims, frame, fork, headlight and seat all hang together. It really makes the tank stand out on the Deep Pearl Gray or Orange Metallic model.
ALL LED LIGHTING
For 2024, the Shadow Phantom gets LED turn signals that give the bike a clean, updated look.
NEW CYLINDER-FIN HIGHLIGHTS
The Phantom embraces a blacked-out look, but we’ve added machined-edge cylinder-head fins this year that really stand out. It’s just the right amount highlighting to catch your eye and make this critical component sing.
NEW FRONT FENDERS
Just keeping things fresh here, but new front and rear fenders are a big part of the Phantom’s contemporary, muscular, athletic look.
SPOKED WHEELS
The Shadow Phantom’s spoked black wheels and hubs complete the overall custom look.
COMFORT
LOW SEAT HEIGHT
The Phantom’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the Phantom’s narrow seat/tank junction makes it feel even lower.
SOLO SADDLE
Sleek, one-piece solo seat is comfortable and looks great too. If you’re bringing a passenger along, check out our accessory passenger seat and footpegs.
DRIVETRAIN
SHAFT FINAL DRIVE
Clean, efficient, proven, and low maintenance. Shaft final drive is the perfect choice for a machine like this, and for riders who pile on the miles. You never have to worry about lubrication or adjustment out on the road. And an added plus: it helps keep your bike cleaner, too.
FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION
The Shadow Phantom’s wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet allows you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.
