THREE STYLING VARIANTS
In order to appeal to the widest possible range of customers, each new 2019 CVO model is offered in three different versions, which differ fundamentally from one another in terms of styling.
There is a choice between a version with a chrome-plated drivetrain, various other chrome parts and two-tone paintwork, a version in which dark surfaces are combined with light ones, and a version with a decidedly dark look in which monochrome paintwork or color gradients create special visual effects.

HIGH-QUALITY PAINTWORK AND SURFACE TREATMENTS
Harley-Davidson CVO models are characterized by exclusive paint colors and designs. CVO models are also often used to introduce alternative surface treatments instead of conventional paintwork or chrome plating.
The CVO Fade Paint, for example, in which a color tone becomes darker and darker from bottom to top, requires an extremely complex process that was developed exclusively for Harley-Davidson.
The fade effect on the various painted parts of the machine is carefully coordinated to create the illusion that the motorcycle is illuminated from below. Creating this impression requires the expertly programmed, robot-assisted application of several coats of paint.
Another surface treatment used for the exhaust system of the darkest versions of the CVO Road Glide and the CVO Street Glide is called Black Onyx and is applied to chrome-plated surfaces using physical vapor deposition (PVD).
This vacuum coating process was originally developed for military applications and jewelry production. The „Black Onyx“ coating is very resistant, but at the same time so thin that the underlying chrome plating shines through in bright light.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINES
The CVO types are the only Harley-Davidson models is equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin, which develops a maximum torque of up to 171 Nm at 3,750 rpm, depending on the model, thanks to its high-performance camshaft, its increased compression ratio of 10.2:1 and its displacement of 117 cui (1,923 cm3).
On the 2019 CVO models, the Milwaukee-Eight 117 can be recognized by the Blaze Red stripe on the rocker boxes.
CVO TECHNOLOGIES
All 2019 CVO models are equipped as standard with the new Boom! Box GTS infotainment system as standard.
The wireless headset with Bluetooth interface supplied with the Boom! Box GTS eliminates the need for cables and enables the same functions as a wired headset with first-class sound quality.
It has a range of up to 1.6 km and can communicate with up to eight other compatible headsets. The CVO Limited model is supplied with two wireless headsets, the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models with one wireless headset each.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, which also comes as standard, informs the driver on the Boom! Box display about the current tire pressure at the front and rear and warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure.
BOOM! PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEM
The CVO Street Glide is equipped as standard with six Boom! Stage II bi-amped speakers, which are mounted in pairs in the fairing, in the leg shields and in the covers of the side cases and provide 150 watts per channel from three separate 300-watt amplifiers for a total output of 900 watts - the most powerful factory-installed Harley-Davidson audio system that envelops the rider in rich, clear sound.
The CVO Limited has four Boom! Stage I speakers, which are mounted in pairs in the fairing and in the pillion backrest and are driven by an amplifier with 75 watts of power per channel.
