HARLEY-DAVIDSON UNVEILS NEW CVO MODELS 

The strictly limited CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models will be presented at the Harley-Davidson 120th Anniversary Events in Budapest and Milwaukee in the middle of the year

FRANKFURT (26.04.2023) - Since 1999, Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) has offered customers strictly limited-edition machines that take performance, style, looks, craftsmanship and attention to detail to the extreme. Over the decades, Harley-Davidson designers and engineers have carefully refined and optimized these motorcycles to make every ride a unique experience while honoring the brand's long history of style icons. 

For 2023, Harley-Davidson now presents two new CVO bikes that are characterized by an exclusive new design, advanced technology and dynamic performance. 

„With the introduction of the new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide, we have completely redesigned two of Harley-Davidson's most iconic models, once again pushing the boundaries of CVO,“ commented Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. „These are fundamentally new concepts that usher in a new era of innovation, design and technology. They take both the Custom Vehicle Operations products and the riding experience on a Grand American Touring Bike to a new level. The 2023 CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide set new standards for the ultimate Harley-Davidson riding experience.“ 

„The all-new yet unmistakably Harley design creates a smooth and dynamic visual flow from the front fender to the panniers,“ explains Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design and Creative Director. „The look of the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide is both evolutionary and revolutionary, because we've changed more visually than ever before. Like all Harley-Davidson motorcycles, these two new models are designed to convey timeless desire.“

The redesigned Batwing fairing of the CVO Street Glide now looks even more dynamic. Its windshield has been angled more strongly and the headlight with a bead underneath and the indicators have been redesigned. Although the designers have retained the classic T-shape, the silhouette now looks more modern. The fairing blends in perfectly with the lines of the tank, side covers and panniers. The new omega-shaped signature headlight and the indicators integrated into the side light strips ensure a high recognition value.

The new fairing of the CVO Road Glide represents an offensive update of the previous Sharknose design and blends harmoniously into the silhouette defined by the tank, side covers and panniers. The wide LED headlight emphasizes the horizontal, but is visually reminiscent of the two elements that previously defined the style of the Sharknose fairings. The indicators have been integrated into the outer areas of the characteristic lighting unit. 

Features of both models:

• New design
• New Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine
• New chassis
• New infotainment system
• Two options for paint and finish 

Details will be announced on June 7, 2023. Further information is available on the web at h-d.com/ourfutureisreal.
