CVO Road Glide ST is the fastest motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson for 2026. NEW Color Options Citrus Heat Re-Entry features an orange to black fade inspired by the current Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team racing livery as seen in the Mission King of the Baggers series. An Orange Pearl topcoat is applied over the Blood Orange basecoat prior to the Raven Metallic fade. The graphics are a combination of race checkers and segmented pinstripes to further enhance the performance ethos of the scheme. The checkered stripes are masked off prior to the pearl coat to reveal the orange base color underneath. The scheme is completed with orange and silver pinstripes. Inferno Gray initially appears as a dark solid neutral color but red effects begin to appear in the highlights as the light hits the painted surfaces. This color generates interest that pulls the viewer around the motorcycle to see how it shifts in color, almost like fiery lava oozing from the ground. The red in the paint ties to red accents on the powertrain and elsewhere on the motorcycle. A new over-sized Bar & Shield super graphic emerges on the sides of the upper and lower fairing and fuel tank. Electric Coast features an Electric Coast Blue metallic basecoat. An eagle graphic inspired by Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team racing livery flows from each fairing side to the fuel tank. Performance Red ST accents are featured on the powertrain, seat cover, wheels and windscreen. Styling Details Road Glide Model Fairing is designed to offer the rider exceptional aero comfort and dynamic style. The fairing is mounted directly to the motorcycle frame, making it independent of the steering and front suspension. This significantly reduces steering effort in tight maneuvers at low speed, compared with a fork-mounted fairing, because the rider does not have to support the weight of the fairing through the handlebar. The inner fairing incorporates a 12.3-inch color touchscreen display, two audio speakers and left- and right-side media storage compartments. The right compartment is equipped with a USB-C connection point. NEW Red Tinted Windshield adds performance style and reinforces Performance Red trim details. Dark finishes throughout the motorcycle. Performance Red powertrain trim. Black titanium mufflers and visible carbon fiber front fender, seat cowl, muffler endcap and tank console imply high-performance. Harley-Davidson script wet slide tank graphics and CVO ST logo on saddlebag sides. Fast Johnnie graphic on the left side cover was introduced on the Harley-Davidson Factory Team motorcycles. Front wheel only has Red CVO/ST branding laser etched in the rim. Black tinted engine spin pattern aluminum inserts with Performance Red accents Gloss Black 7-Spoke cast aluminum wheels feature a function-forward design to minimize mass and unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance. Moto Handlebar and 6-inch Riser put the rider in a more commanding, upright position. The handlebar riser is 2.2 inches taller than the standard Road Glide model riser. The Moto Bar handlebar has a much flatter bend than the standard Road Glide model handlebar a shape is inspired by the handlebar seen on flat track racing motorcycles and is a popular club bike style point. NOTE: Handlebar height is regulated in many locations. Check local laws to ensure your motorcycle meets applicable regulations. The CVO Street Glide ST and CVO Road Glide ST models share the following features. Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO Powertrain: Tuned to produce 127 horsepower (95 kW) and 145 lb. ft. (197 Nm) of torque. Low Final Drive Ratio (30/68 sprockets vs. standard 32/68 sprockets) to produce the kind of rapid acceleration and mid-range thrust aggressive bagger riders crave. Screamin Eagle Extreme Flow Titanium Slip-On Mufflers feature oval-shaped lightweight titanium shells and forged carbon fiber end caps. The high-flow design unlocks engine performance while maintaining noise and emissions compliance. Exhaust tone and level are enhanced to produce an exhilarating sound, especially on acceleration. Weight Reduction achieved through use of alternate materials contributes to improved fuel economy, braking performance, and acceleration. Mufflers have lightweight titanium shells and forged carbon fiber end caps. Forged carbon fiber composite is used to form the front fender, seat cowl and tank console. The oil pan is formed of light weight composite. Compact footboards are lighter than standard-size footboards. Wheel design and Performance Dual Floating front brake rotors are optimized to minimize unsprung weight. CVO Road Glide ST Weight in running order: 838 pounds (380 kg), 28 pounds (12.7 kg) lighter than the 2025 CVO Road Glide model. CVO Street Glide ST Weight in running order: 816 pounds (370 kg), 22 pounds (10.0 kg) lighter than the 2026 CVO Street Glide model. Performance Suspension is fully adjustable for pre-load and rebound/compression damping to allow the rider to set up the suspension for a personal preference in handling performance and ride comfort. Rear Suspension features dual outboard SHOWA Remote Reservoir shock absorbers with remote reservoirs located between the rear fender and each saddlebag to keep the shock oil and gas separated to maintain shock performance under demanding conditions. Rear suspension travel is 3 inches (76 mm). NEW Braided Stainless Steel lines to the rear shock reservoirs have a light smoke outer tube to match the brake lines. Front Suspensionfeatures inverted 47 mm SHOWA 1x1 forks with SHOWA Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating treatment which improves durability and reduces friction. Front suspension travel is 4.6 inches (117 mm). Premium Brembo braking components provide outstanding braking feel and performance for added rider confidence. Dual front disc brakes with radially mounted four-piston Brembo calipers grip Performance Dual Floating 320 mm rotors. Solo Seat is shaped to hold the rider in a comfortable yet secure position during aggressive riding. The solo seat, hard-shell rear cowl and lack of passenger pegs reduce motorcycle weight. A raised rear bolster helps hold the rider in position. The seat shape and padding materials are designed for long-range comfort for most riders. The seat is shaped to rotate the riders hips to a neutral position relative to the spine. This helps reduce the effort required to maintain a comfortable riding posture, which can help reduce fatigue on rider back and neck. Seat details include luxurious Alcantara EXO fabric, Performance Red details, geometric grained vinyl and a rubberized CVO ST logo on the top of the seat. Switchback Collection accessories combine billet aluminum with rubber surfaces for a rugged look. Durable Anodized Black finish. Pieces include compact rider footboards, shifter peg, rear brake lever pad and hand grips. Footboards feature chunky rubber top surfaces for good grip. Carbon Fiber Components The front fender, the tank console, exhaust end caps and the seat cowl are formed of forged carbon fiber, a light-weight material which also adds competition style. These components are clear finished to put the forged carbon fiber material on display. The carbon fibers have a random appearance unique to each motorcycle, very different from the look of woven mat usually associated with carbon fiber components. Rather than being laid up in resin these parts are formed under pressure. Flat-Out Bar provides limited cosmetic vehicle protection to the front of the motorcycle in a low-speed tip-over event. Wind Splitter windshield with a red tint for the perfect combination of effective airflow management and wow styling. CVO Street Glide ST model windshield is 5.0 inches high CVO Road Glide ST model windshield is 4.5 inches high Eight Selectable Ride Modes include Road, Rain, Sport, Track, Track Plus, and three Custom modes. Track Mode is intended specifically for track day riding on a dry track/closed course. This mode was developed with input from Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team racer Kyle Wyman with the desired throttle mapping for best feel of torque delivery in a racetrack environment. This gives the rider smooth, repeatable throttle response on corner exits. Full power performance is on tap. Rear-to-front electronically linked braking is disabled to allow independent rear trail braking capability and consistent front lever feel. C-ABS and C-TCS intervention are set to a reduced level of intervention to allow greater rider control. Track Plus Mode is intended for experienced riders on a dry track/closed course who want maximum control but still appreciate the benefits of Rider Safety Enhancements working in the background. In addition to the specially tuned power delivery of Track Mode, Track Plus Mode disables electronically linked braking entirely, giving full independent control of both brakes to the rider. The C-ABS setting has an even further reduced level of intervention which permits a significantly higher level of rear wheel slip under braking or aggressive downshifts to further enhance rider control in a track setting. The C-TCS intervention is set to its lowest level to maximize both straight line and cornering acceleration and put control in the riders throttle hand. All-LED Lighting is designed to deliver style, outstanding performance, and to enhance conspicuity to other motorists.

Exquisite paint and finishes, the straight-from-the-factory performance of the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine, and the cutting-edge infotainment technology powered by the Skyline OS system set this special factory custom motorcycle apart from the crowd. NEW Color Options Torched Orange CVO Tri-Tone paint scheme combines Torched Orange, Raven Metallic and Magnetic Gray colors. Drop-shadow airbrushing is added within the Magnetic Gray panel to further enhance the custom details. Orange pinstripes coordinate with Harley-Davidson Orange accents on the powertrain and seat cover.

Both collections will be displayed March 2-9 during Daytona Bike Week at the Harley-Davidson Event Display Area at Daytona International Speedway, and are also available now at authorized Harley-Davidson dealers.

Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection: Hydra-Glide Revival Model The 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival model, the fourth installment in the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection, celebrates the 75th anniversary of the 1949 introduction of the Hydra-Glide telescopic front suspension for Harley-Davidson E and F models. When Hydra-Glide equipped models were introduced the saddle of a smooth-riding Harley-Davidson FL motorcycle was an exciting way for many Americans to explore the country on the new network of Interstate highways. Owners of a 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival model can trace their own route to freedom and adventure on a bike inspired by this classic era, while enjoying all the comfort and features of a modern Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The Icons Motorcycle Collection is an annual program for the limited release of a new model that offers a fresh interpretation of an iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A limited collection, each model is individually numbered and produced only once. Global production of the Hydra-Glide Revival model will not exceed 1,750 units. Exclusive Styling Features The Hydra-Glide Revival model is finished in custom Redline Red paint with a Birch White panel on fuel tank sides, the same design featured on 1956 models. Details include chrome Harley-Davidson V tank badges inspired by 1955-56 tank badges and Hydra-Glide script badges located on the front fender skirt. The serialized Hydra-Glide Revival insert on the handlebar riser cap and Icons Motorcycle Collection graphic on the rear fender identify this limited-production model. Additional styling features include instrument graphics inspired by those on the 1954-55 speedometer. The two-tone 21-inch (53.3 cm) high detachable windshield features a color-matched lower portion in Redline Red. A chrome round air cleaner cover and chrome steel laced wheels add to the nostalgic look. Front and rear fender trim, engine guard, fork covers, powertrain and exhaust are finished in brilliant chrome. A solo saddle is finished with a fringed and decorated leather valance, white seam piping and red contrast stitching, and a chrome rail for a nostalgic look. A matching black leather tank strap is embellished with studs and a concho. Leather and vinyl saddlebags are detailed with chrome conchos with acrylic red centers, chrome studs and leather fringe, white seam piping and red contrast stitching. The saddlebags are water-resistant, have keyed locks for security, and have a rigid liner so they will hold their shape season after season.

The new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models showcase advanced technology, enhanced rider comfort and dynamic performance propelled by the powerful new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine. Exclusive and dramatic new visual designs present a transformative revision of the Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring platform. The mission of the new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models is to advance every aspect of the Grand American Touring motorcycling experience, said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. These models set a new standard for Harley-Davidson performance, technology and style, accelerating the evolution of the worlds most desirable motorcycle brand. Harley-Davidson annually presents an aspirational collection of CVO limited-production motorcycles that deliver the ultimate in refined styling and design, detailed craftsmanship, and thrilling performance. The CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models will make a U.S. public debut in Milwaukee during the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival, July 13-16, 2023, when both will be available for demo rides at the Harley-Davidson Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations facility. ICONIC DESIGN, REDEFINED The new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models open a new chapter in the canon of Harley-Davidson motorcycle design. The stunning new design creates dynamic flow among the key components of the motorcycle the fairing, fuel tank, side covers and saddlebags. The result is a dramatic visual transformation that respects and is clearly evolved from the familiar shapes of previous Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring motorcycles. CVO Street Glide Model Fairing While an all-new batwing fairing exclusive to the CVO Street Glide model retains the iconic T shape, the silhouette has been updated to present a faster overall look with the splitstream vent now fully integrated into the design. Undercuts beneath the headlamp are more pronounced. Signature LED lighting is used as a distinctive design element and provides instant recognition of the new model, even at night. Amber LED turn signals are seamlessly integrated into the left and right lamp elements, eliminating separate turn signals for a cleaner over-all look. CVO Road Glide Model Fairing The all-new CVO Road Glide model fairing presents an aggressive update to the classic Road Glide model sharknose design, with more surface tension and the definition of a well-trained athlete. In examples of design flow, the aft edge of the new fairing relates to the fuel tank shape, and the edge of the lower portion of the fairing to the front engine cylinder. A single LED headlamp has a wide, horizonal shape and appears to have twin elements, recalling a key feature of all previous Road Glide fairings. The W shape of signature forward lighting provides instant recognition of this new model. Amber turn signal lamps are integrated within the outer portions of the signature lighting, eliminating the previous bullet turn signals. Other new design elements are featured on both the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models. The front fender is trimmed at the rear and has less skirt depth to reduce visual mass at the front of the bike and to reveal more of the distinctive wheel, the inverted forks and Brembo radial brake calipers. The 6-gallon fuel tank presents a new taut and stretched surface, with a distinctive shoulder bevel. The side covers are shaped to create a linear pull through the center of the motorcycle to the saddlebags, which have three-dimensional shape in harmony with the fairings and fuel tank. While the new luggage appears more compact, it actually has slightly more volume for speakers and cargo. The new Combo Cast Laced wheels (19-inch front/18-inch rear) make a bold custom statement, with a black machine-cut cast-aluminum rim and laced spokes for a look that is both rugged and exclusive. This design also enables TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) on a laced wheel. PAINT AND FINISHES The new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models will be offered with two paint/finish choices: Standard Dark Platinum with Bright Smoked Satin pinstriping and color-matched inner fairing. Powertrain and air cleaner are Gloss Black with Scorched Chrome accents on the engine inserts. The lower rocker boxes, pushrod tubes and exhaust are finished in Scorched Chrome. Adversary Collection accessories are finished in Black powder coat with machined highlights. Optional for an additional charge, Whiskey Neat/Raven Metallic two-tone with color-matched inner fairing. This complex paint scheme is hand-applied. Raven Metallic panels are laid over the deep orange Whiskey Neat base, with airbrush accents and a bright orange pinstripe at the color break. Powertrain and air cleaner are Gloss Black with orange accents on the engine inserts. The lower rocker boxes and pushrod tube collars are painted Whiskey Neat. Pushrod tubes and exhaust are chrome. Adversary Collection accessories feature a Black and Orange double anodized finish. PINNACLE PERFORMANCE The bragging rights of riding a motorcycle powered by the new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 powertrain are exclusive to owners of the 2023 CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models. This 121-cubic-inch 45-degree V-Twin engine establishes a new benchmark for factory-installed torque and displacement available in a Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycle approximately 8 percent more torque and 9.5 percent more horsepower than the Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine while further improving thermal comfort for the rider and producing an intoxicating exhaust tone. The Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 is equipped with a number of new features, including optimized liquid-cooled cylinder heads with a new cooling system, variable valve timing (VVT), and a new intake tract. A single counter-balancer is tuned to cancel undesirable vibration. Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 Specs Displacement: 121 cubic inches (1977cc) Bore x Stroke: 4.075" x 4.625" Compression Ratio: 11.4:1 Fuel Octane Recommendation: 91 Torque: 139 lb. ft. (189 Nm) torque at 3000 RPM Horsepower: 115 horsepower (86 kW) at 4500 RPM New features of the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine: Variable Valve Timing (VVT) broadens the overall powerband, improves torque management and enhances efficiency to increase range from each tank of fuel (compared to the same engine with fixed valve timing). Through computer control, VVT advances or retards camshaft timing infinitely through a potential range of 40 degrees of crankshaft rotation (20 degrees of camshaft rotation). Riders may experience a 3 percent to 5 percent improvement in fuel economy* over a standard drive cycle compared to similar motorcycles powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine. An improved cooling system focused on the exhaust valve area of each cylinder head further improves thermal comfort for the rider, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. Redesigned four-valve cylinder heads incorporate new channels for coolant flow around the exhaust valve areas. An electric pump circulates a coolant solution first to the hotter rear cylinder head, then to the front cylinder head, and then to a new heat exchanger (radiator) located low on the front of the frame and backed by a thermostatically controlled fan. Air flow from the fan is directed below the motorcycle for enhanced rider/passenger comfort, especially at low vehicle speeds. New cylinder heads feature a combustion chamber reshaped with oval intake ports, low-profile intake valve seats and an enhanced squish band, which combined increase intake air velocity and tumble and accelerate combustion to improve performance and fuel economy. The compression ratio is increased to 11.4:1 from 10.2:1 (2022 Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine) enhancing torque at lower RPM and improving fuel economy*. Higher compression is enabled by improvement of the cylinder head cooling design, the burn rate in the combustion chamber, and enhanced knock sensing to protect the engine from pre-ignition. A high-performance camshaft with higher lift and longer duration than the Milwaukee-Eight 117 camshaft contributes to increased power and torque. The valvetrain is updated with high-capacity lifters and inner cam bearing, and valve springs capable of higher lift, to maintain durability with the more-aggressive camshaft in place. A new intake tract contributes to increased power and lower exhaust emissions. The throttle body diameter is increased to 58mm from the 55mm used on Milwaukee-Eight 117 engines, and the throttle body is positioned closer to the center of the cylinder spacing and to the intake valves to enhance intake air flow. The new contoured aluminum intake manifold offers a more-direct air path and creates a smooth transition from the round throttle body to the oval intake ports. New induction components improve tumble and increase mass flow by 7.5 percent and port velocity by 10.3 percent. High-capacity (5.5 gram/second) fuel injectors match fuel demand of the engine. A new airbox replaces the Heavy Breather intake used on previous CVO Milwaukee-Eight 117 engines. Airbox volume is 4.0L, approximately 50 percent more than Heavy Breather. The new intake is lighter, requires fewer parts and has no exposed fasteners, and significantly muffles intake sound compared to the Heavy Breather. Charging output increased by 20.8 percent to 58 peak amps from 48 peak amps (Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine output). Current capability at both idle and cruising speeds is increased to support added vehicle content and accessories while maintaining optimal battery health. High-performance exhaust unlocks engine performance. Muffler diameter is increased to 4.5 inches from the previous model 4.0-inch diameter. A high-flow design complements the engine tuning. Exhaust tone and level are enhanced to produce an exhilarating sound, especially on acceleration, that set the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models apart from other Touring models equipped with stock exhaust. An improved shift drum with redesigned neutral pocket geometry in the 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission makes it easier to select and find neutral on the first attempt. TECHNOLOGICALLY ENHANCED To complement the power of the new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine every aspect of design that could impact overall performance and the comfort of rider and passenger was carefully considered during the development of the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models. Dry weight has been reduced significantly, by 31 pounds for the CVO Street Glide model and by 35 pounds for the CVO Road Glide model, compared to the models they replace. This reduction was achieved by shaving ounces whenever possible. For example, the fuel tank is formed from lighter-gauge steel and a new triple clamp is manufactured using a liquid aluminum forging process reduces component weight by about 7 pounds. The result is an improvement in every aspect of performance braking, handling and acceleration and in rider comfort in regard to lift-off the side stand, balancing at a stop and even moving the bike around the garage. High-performance suspension components are designed to promote confident handling and provide a dramatic improvement in rider comfort compared to previous CVO models. Front suspension is 47mm SHOWA inverted forks designed to promote confident handling by keeping the tire in contact with the road surface. Front suspension travel is 4.60 inches (117mm). Rear suspension travel is 3.0 inches (76mm), a 50 percent increase in travel compared to comparable 2022 Grand American Touring models. SHOWA dual outboard emulsion technology shock absorbers feature a new remote hydraulic pre-load adjustment knob located forward of the left saddlebag. Adjustments can easily be made to rear suspension preload without tools or removal of the saddlebag to accommodate up to an additional 100 pounds of cargo loading or short-term passenger adjustments beyond the primary suspension loading condition. Pre-load adjustment for the primary loading condition (the condition that the bike will most often be used in, for example rider only or rider plus passenger) is accomplished by removing the right saddlebag and adjusting the threaded preload adjuster with the provided spanner tool. Rear suspension rebound damping is also adjustable to provide ideal suspension performance across a wide range of loading conditions. Adjustment is made using a dial on the bottom of each shock absorber, which requires removal of the saddlebags. Braking provided by premium Brembo components offer outstanding braking feel and performance for added rider confidence. Dual front disc brakes feature new radially mounted four-piston Brembo calipers designed to offer the rider more braking power. The front brake rotor diameter is increased to 320mm from 300mm (previous models). The single rear brake features a four-piston Brembo caliper. Rear brake rotor diameter is 300mm. Lighting is all-LED, designed to deliver style, outstanding performance, and to help make the motorcycle conspicuous to other motorists. The LED headlamps are designed to produce an even spread of light, eliminating distracting hot spots. New signature lighting on both models includes one element surrounding the headlamp plus elements extending along the left and right sides of the fairing. The result is signature lighting with a distinct appearance that identifies these motorcycles as the new CVO models. A shutdown sequence keeps the signature lighting illuminated for 10 seconds after the vehicle is turned off, a dramatic effect curbside. Front turn signals are integrated within the fairing behind the same lens used for the signature lighting. The signals are eye-catching and create a smooth, integrated look for the front of the motorcycle. Combination rear brake/tail/signal lighting is located between the rear fender and the saddlebags. Ride Modes For the first time the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models offer selectable Ride Modes that electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of technology intervention. Each Ride Mode consists of a specific combination of power delivery, engine braking, Cornering-Antilock Braking System (C-ABS) and Cornering-Traction Control System (C-TCS) settings. The rider may use the hand control MODE button to change the active ride mode while riding the motorcycle or when stopped, with some exceptions. A unique icon for each mode appears on the display when that mode has been selected. Road Mode: Intended for daily use, Road Mode delivers balanced performance. This mode offers less-aggressive throttle response and less mid-range engine power than Sport Mode, with a higher level of C-ABS and C-TCS intervention. Sport Mode: Sport Mode can maximize the rider's connection to the motorcycle. The rider can experience the full performance potential of the motorcycle in a direct and precise manner, with full power and the quickest throttle response. C-TCS is set to its lowest level of intervention, and engine braking is increased. Rain Mode: This mode is designed to give the rider greater confidence when riding in the rain or when traction is otherwise compromised. Rain Mode is also an appropriate setting for riders building confidence as they become familiar with the motorcycle. Throttle response and power output are programmed to significantly restrain the rate of acceleration, engine braking is limited, and the highest levels of C-ABS and C-TCS intervention are selected. Custom Mode: Within two available Custom Ride Modes the rider may create a set of performance characteristics to meet personal preference or for special situations. To create a Custom Mode the rider uses the touch screen display to select their combined preference of engine torque delivery characteristics, engine braking, throttle response, and C-TCS and C-ABS intervention, within specific ranges. Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson, a collection of technologies designed to enhance rider confidence during unexpected situations or adverse road conditions, are featured on the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models. Rider Safety Enhancements are designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking. The systems are electronic and utilize the latest chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain technology. These models include the following elements of Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson: Cornering Electronically Linked Brakes (C-ELB) Cornering ABS (C-ABS) Cornering Traction Control (C-TCS) with modes Cornering Drag Torque Slip Control (C-DTSC) Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPMS) Aero and Thermal Comfort are informed by all-new fairings with a floating windshield design, part of a completely new aerodynamic system. Each aero system element was created using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tools, wind tunnel analysis and real-world subjective testing with an emphasis on reducing rider helmet buffeting at highway speed. Many riders will find that the combination of improved aero design and adjustable elements results in a significant improvement in overall aero comfort compared to the fairing/windshield combination of previous Grand American Touring models. In wind tunnel testing, subjective helmet buffeting is reduced by an average of 60 percent compared to equivalent 2022 models. The new adjustable control vane in the fairing center vent of both models allows the rider to dial in airflow for comfort in most conditions and riding gear choices. The fairing vent balances air pressure behind the fairing to minimize helmet buffeting at speed for rider comfort. New adjustable vanes at the trailing edge of the CVO Road Glide fairing can be used to channel more or less air to the riders torso area for desired comfort. New Air deflectors located on the fork skirts of the CVO Street Glide model may be adjusted to reduce wind turbulence to the riders head. The new engine cooling system will further improve thermal comfort for the rider compared to the precision cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 engines in previous CVO models, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. LONG-HAUL ERGONOMICS A redesigned seat shape and padding materials offer a significant improvement in long-range comfort for most riders. The seat is shaped to rotate the riders hips to a neutral position relative to the spine, reducing fatigue on a riders back and neck. Laden seat height of the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models is 26.7 inches. The front brake hand lever is adjustable for reach, to best match rider hand size or preference. Two pre-wired connection points for heated gear are provided, located below the seat. Standard heated hand grips may now be adjusted on the grip or through the infotainment display. CVO Road Glide handlebar has a wider, flatter bend than the previous shape, which puts the riders hands in a more natural, comfortable position for long-haul riding and enables 27-degrees of adjustability. ALL-NEW INFOTAINMENT POWERED BY SKYLINE OS The CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models introduce an all-new suite of infotainment technology powered by the new Skyline OS. A TFT color touch screen is the most tech-forward display ever offered for a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It replaces all analog instrumentation and most switches as found on previous CVO motorcycle models. This premium display is bright and well-organized, is customizable within three distinct view options, is compatible with Apple and Android devices, and offers technology that was either previously not available on a Harley-Davidson system or required a separate app on the owners device. NOTE: All Apple CarPlay projection services from the riders device may be applied through the display. Android Auto projection services are not available, but Android users may stream music and place/receive calls through the system. Use of some features requires a compatible wireless headset. One headset is shipped with each motorcycle. The CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models each feature the following new infotainment features: The 12.3-inch (diagonal measurement) TFT screen is 90 percent larger diagonally than the 6.5-inch BOOM! Box GTS screen featured on previous CVO models and offers more than 400 percent more screen area. It offers a bright presentation and can display more information in a clear, easy-to-see manner. The screen has anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings. The touch screen functions when a rider is wearing gloves and is not affected by rain or other natural inputs. The touch screen is not disabled when the motorcycle is moving, but some features are disabled. The interface was designed for primary use with hand controls to minimize touch interaction. HomeLink in North America can be configured to pair and interface with three garage doors. New Wi-Fi connectivity enables wireless connection to a riders device and to provide live services such as traffic, weather and navigation map updates. The new Voice Recognition System is conversational rather than fixed prompts and allows the rider to make general commands like "Find me a gas station" to perform a search on Navigation.

This all-new motorcycle combines a classic Sportster model silhouette with the on-demand performance of the new Revolution Max 975T powertrain and a host of contemporary electronic rider aids and features. The 2022 Nightster model redefines the Sportster motorcycle experience for a new generation of riders. The Nightster is an instrument of expression and exploration, underpinned by performance said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. By building on the 65-year Sportster legacy, the Nightster provides a canvas for creativity and personalization, offering the ultimate platform for customization and expression for new and existing riders. New Revolution Max 975T Powertrain At the heart of the 2022 Nightster model is the new Revolution Max 975T powertrain. It is a liquid-cooled, 60-degree V-Twin with a torque curve that stays flat through the broad powerband and engine performance designed to deliver strong acceleration and robust power through the mid-range. The length and shape of the intake velocity stacks, combined with the airbox volume, are tuned to maximize performance across the engine speed range. The profiles of dual overhead camshafts and Variable Valve Timing phasing on the intake valves are designed to match the performance of this engine. Revolution Max 975T Engine Specs Displacement 975cc 90 HP (67 kW) @7500 RPM 70 ft. lbs. (95 Nm) peak torque @ 5000 RPM 97mm bore x 66mm stroke Compression Ratio 12:1 Hydraulic valve lash adjustment ensures quiet operation and eliminates the need for costly, complicated service procedures. Internal balancers help reduce engine vibration to enhance rider comfort and improve vehicle durability. The balancers are tuned to retain just enough vibration to make the motorcycle feel alive. Powerful Agility The Nightster model pairs a nimble, lightweight chassis with a powerful engine tuned for strong mid-range performance, an ideal combination for navigating urban traffic and charging along curving backroads. Mid foot controls and a low-rise handlebar put the rider in a centered, comfortable posture on the bike. Unladen seat height is 27.8 inches. The low seat height combined with a narrow profile makes it possible for most riders to confidently place feet down flat at a stop. The Revolution Max 975T powertrain is the central, structural component of the Nightster motorcycle chassis, which significantly reduces motorcycle weight and results in a very stiff chassis. The tail section structure is lightweight aluminum. The swingarm is formed of welded rectangular steel tubing and is an attachment point for the dual rear shock absorbers. Front suspension is 41mm SHOWA Dual Bending Valve conventional forks designed to provide improved handling performance by keeping the tire in contact with the road surface. The rear suspension features dual outboard emulsion-technology shock absorbers with coil springs and a threaded collar for pre-load adjustment. Rider Safety Enhancements The Nightster model is equipped with Rider Safety Enhancements* by Harley-Davidson, a collection of technologies designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking. The systems are electronic and utilize the latest chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain technology. Its three elements are: Antilock Braking System (ABS) is designed to prevent the wheels from locking under braking and helps the rider maintain control when braking in a straight-line, urgent situation. ABS operates independently on front and rear brakes to keep the wheels rolling and prevent uncontrolled wheel lock. Traction Control System (TCS) is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under acceleration. TCS can improve rider confidence when available traction is compromised by wet weather, an unanticipated change in the surface, or when riding on an unpaved road. The rider can deactivate TCS in any Ride Mode when the motorcycle is stopped and the engine is running. Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) is designed to adjust engine torque delivery and reduce excessive rear-wheel slip under powertrain-induced deceleration, which typically occurs when the rider makes an abrupt down-shift gear change or quickly reduces the throttle while on wet or slippery road surfaces. Selectable Ride Modes The Nightster model offers selectable Ride Modes that electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle, and the level of technology intervention. Each Ride Mode consists of a specific combination of power delivery, engine braking, ABS and TCS settings. The rider may use the MODE button on the right-hand controller to change the active ride mode while riding the motorcycle or when stopped, with some exceptions. A unique icon for each mode appears on the instrument display when that mode has been selected. Road Mode is intended for daily use and delivers balanced performance. This mode offers less-aggressive throttle response and less mid-range engine power than Sport Mode, with a higher level of ABS and TCS intervention. Sport Mode delivers the full performance potential of the motorcycle in a direct and precise manner, with full power and the quickest throttle response. TCS is set to its lowest level of intervention, and engine braking is increased. Rain Mode is designed to give the rider greater confidence when riding in the rain or when traction is otherwise limited. Throttle response and power output are programmed to significantly restrain the rate of acceleration, engine braking is limited, and the highest levels of ABS and TCS intervention are selected. The 3.1-gallon lightweight plastic fuel cell is located below the seat what appears to be a traditional fuel tank forward of the seat is a steel cover for the airbox. The fuel fill is reached by lifting the hinged locking seat. Locating the fuel cell below the seat optimizes the capacity of the engine intake airbox and moves the weight of fuel lower in the chassis compared to a traditional fuel tank location, which results in a lower center of gravity for improved handling and easier lift off the side stand. The Nightster model features a round 4.0-inch-diameter analog speedometer with an inset multi-function LCD display mounted on the handlebar riser. All-LED lighting is designed to deliver style and outstanding performance while also making the motorcycle conspicuous to other motorists. The Daymaker LED headlamp has been designed to produce a homogenous spread of light, eliminating distracting hot spots. Combination rear brake/tail/signal LED lighting is located on the rear fender (US market only). Fresh Design Based on Classic Form All-new from the wheels up with a look that is lean, low, and powerful, the Nightster model conveys classic Sportster model styling cues, most obviously in the exposed rear shock absorbers and the shape of an airbox cover that evokes the iconic Sportster walnut fuel tank. The round air intake cover, solo seat, chopped fenders and speed screen recall elements of recent Sportster models, while a side cover that conceals the under-seat fuel tank has a shape similar to the previous Sportster oil tank. The Revolution Max powertrain is the centerpiece of the design, framed by snaking exhaust headers and finished in textured Metallic Charcoal powder coat with Gloss Black inserts. A cover below the radiator conceals the battery and helps the radiator appear less prominent. The wheel finish is Satin Black. Paint color options include Vivid Black, Gunship Grey, and Redline Red. Gunship Grey and Redline Red color options will be applied only to the airbox cover; the front and rear fenders and speed screen are always finished in Vivid Black. Harley-Davison Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories has created a range of accessories for the Nightster motorcycle, designed to enhance fit, comfort and style. The Nightster model arrives at authorized Harley-Davidson dealerships globally beginning in April 2022. US Base MSRP is $13,499 (Vivid Black) and $13,899 (color options). Harley-Davidson stands for the timeless pursuit of adventure and freedom for the soul. Go to H-D.com to learn more about the complete line of 2022 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, gear, accessories and more. *Disclaimer: Available traction is determined by the road/tire interface. The systems are only able to adjust brake pressure or powertrain torque in an attempt to keep the forces at the tire from exceeding available grip. These technologies do not have the ability to increase grip, to intervene when the rider has not made a brake or throttle application, or to directly influence vehicle direction. The rider is ultimately responsible for steering, speed and path corrections. Tue, 12 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST
