In this article, we will tell you every detail about the Jax Teller (Sons of Anarchy) bike. Before we get into the details of the motorcycle that Jax Teller Rode in Sons of Anarchy, let’s have a little overview of this motorcycle TV show.

Sons of Anarchy is a complete roller coaster of emotions, commitment, loyalty, and drama involving an outlaw motorcycle club. This show depicts almost every aspect of the life of the outlaw gang, known as the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Originals (SAMCRO).

The TV series revolves around Jax Teller, who is the main character of the show, played by Charlie Hunnam. A man, who is in his 30s, struggles hard to balance his normal life with the life of a member of an outlaw motorcycle club. Jax initially got attracted to the club’s lifestyle, culture, brotherhood, and way of life. He got inspired by his stepfather, who was the president of the club. However, later, he realized the nature of the club and how it operates. Being an outlaw motorcycle club, SAMCRO was involved in many illegal activities.

The show ‘Sons of Anarchy’ beautifully depicts the journey of Jax Teller from being inspired by the club to start questioning its violent ways of operating. During the course, Jax also faced hardships in keeping up with his wife and children. The Sons of Anarchy TV series ends by depicting the consequences of the club’s illegal actions and the miserable endings and fates of its main characters/members of the club.

Jax Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam, is not only the main character but also the most popular character of the Sons of Anarchy TV series. However, the motorcycle he rode in the show didn’t receive as much recognition as Jax himself. Let’s talk in detail about the Sons of Anarchy, Jax Teller's bike from the show:

The first bike that Jax Teller used to ride in the show (Sons of Anarchy), starting from season 1 to season 6, is a 2003 Harley FXD Dyna Super Glide. Being a motorcycle club, especially an outlaw gang, it was obvious that the makers of the show would pick classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles for the show.

Harley Davidosn Dyna received quite a lot of limelight in the show, especially because Jax Teller rode one in the show. Being a motorcycle TV show, the Harley motorcycles received a good airtime.

The 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide was the signature ride of Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy (SOA). It wasn’t a small motorcycle. The Jax Teller’s Dyna Super Glide bike featured a 1,450 cc air-cooled, V-Twin engine. As far as the power figures are concerned, the Dyna Super Glide’s engine produces 65 hp of horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque.

Jax Teller learned to ride a motorcycle for this show (Sons of Anarchy), along with many other actors. Being a lead actor of the show, Charlie Hunnam developed a keen interest in motorcycling. He also has a garage full of motorcycles. He also has some of the bikes from the SOA show in his garage.

The 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide used by Jax Teller in the show was modified, like most other motorcycles used in the show. It was done to ensure the bike perfectly fits in the outlaw MC culture and style. The 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide is perfectly suited for this job. It featured in almost every motorcycle riding scene of Jax Teller in the show. It perfectly suited the character’s persona.

The 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport used by Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy was a popular club-style bike, which is a well-known cruiser type in the U.S. It is also referred to as a thug-style bike, often associated with motorcycle clubs, especially the Outlaws. It is usually preferred to offer a perfect balance of comfort, performance, and aesthetics.

The blacked-out, powder-coated V-Twin engine, along with mag wheels and dual front disc brakes, makes this 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport perfect for the show.

The Harley Dyna Super Glide, Jax Teller’s bike in Sons of Anarchy, featured a modified drag handlebar with tall risers. Also termed as T-Bars. This handlebar ensured a decently taller arm position. Also, the presence of the Arnel Ness fairing towards the front gives the iconic look of Jax Teller’s bike in the Sons of Anarchy show.

Other important upgrades include Thunderheader, a two-into-one exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe was seen being heat wrapped in black. The bike also featured the H-D Badlander seat.

The 2003 Harley Dyna Super Glide used by Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy had an overall dark theme. The gas tank was black with a custom paint job, featuring a smoky skeleton. Being a Harley Dyna, the rear shocks were installed externally.

Though the very popular Jax Teller’s Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport is believed to be a 2003 model year, it was a 2001 model according to many reviewers. It can be confirmed by the placement of the rear turn signals being mounted to the tail light and not to the rear fender. Also, the Jax Teller’s bike had mag wheels, which indicates that it was a 2001 Dyna Super Glide Sport.

Jax Teller’s most beloved bike, which he rode from season 1 to season 5, was finally blown up in episode 5th of season 5.

Jax Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam, rode the 2003 H-D Dyna Super Glide during most of the show. However, in the last season, he was seen riding the classic 1946 Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead. It was the rebuilt version of the motorcycle that was used by the President of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, who was also the father of Jax Teller in the show. It was an ideal classic motorcycle to be filmed and featured in many scenes in the clubhouse. The bike was a Type 74 Knucklehead, having a 1,207 cc V-Twin engine.

John Teller, who was Jax Teller’s father and the president of the club, not only used to ride this 1946 H-D Knucklehead. It was a symbol of the club’s legacy and a prized possession.

In the show, the same Harley Knucklehead was seen destroyed by the Irish as they blew up the whole place (clubhouse). However, it was rebuilt completely by Jax Teller to own and ride it as a possession of his father’s legacy.

Being filmed in the last season of Sons of Anarchy, the 1946 Harley Knucklehead received quite a lot of limelight in the show. It featured in the iconic last scene, also known as the final ride, of the show. Jax Teller, the main character of Sons of Anarchy, committed suicide on this Harley Knucklehead while there were cops chasing him on the freeway.

Jax Teller is also seen riding a 2012 Harley Street Glide in episode 6th of season 5 of the Sons of Anarchy show. This motorcycle featured in this episode almost twice, first, when Jax Teller went to meet with Damon Pope on a rooftop, and second, when Jax was being forced to run off the road by the Sheriff.

The air time of this 2012 Street Glide came to an end when Jax was being chased and shot down, and he was left with no other option than to crash his Street Glide.

According to some sources and reviewers, Jax Teller also used a 2011/2012 Harley Dyna Street Glide/Street Bob in season 5, episode 8, after the Irish destroyed his Dyna Super Glide. The clubhouse was bombed, and as a result, the motorcycles were destroyed. Jax Teller did switch to the H-D Dyna Street Glide, or as some say, it was a Harley Dyna Street Bob.

However, there were quite a few similarities between the older Dyna Super Glide Sport and the Dyna Street Glide/Street Bob used by Jax Teller in season 5, episode 8. The only major difference was the air filter installed on the Dyna Street Glide/Street Bob used by Jax.

The 2011 Harley Dyna Street Bob featured a Krater fairing (Quarter Fairing) and tall T-bars in a fully-blacked-out finish, along with a mushroom-style Screamin Eagle heavy breather. This bike also featured H-D Diamond black grips. It also had a keyless ignition, which was shown in the TV show.

It was a highly modified club-style bike that suited Jax Teller’s riding style perfectly in the show.

Jax Teller is the main character in the Sons of Anarchy TV show. This motorcycle TV series is one of the most popular among those who love riding motorbikes. Especially, it attracts those who are attracted to the motorcycle club’s culture. This show perfectly depicts the lives of members associated with outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs).

The best thing about the Sons of Anarchy, which makes it authentic, is the real motorcycle riding in the show. Starting from Charlie Hunnam, who played Jax Teller, to every member of the club, everyone knew how to ride a bike.

Not only did Jax Teller rise to popularity due to Sons of Anarchy, but the bikes used in the entire show also received center lights. The bikes, used by Jax Teller in the show, also received a lot of airtime. Whether it was the Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport, Harley Knucklehead, or Harley Street Glide, nothing looked superficial. These motorcycles were moderately customized to ensure a club-style.
