HARLEY-DAVIDSON PRESENTS EIGHT NEW MOTORCYCLES IN THE GRAND AMERICAN TOURING, CRUISER AND CVO MODEL FAMILIES
Thanks to the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin, the new models are characterized by fascinating performance
NEU-ISENBURG, January 26, 2022 - Harley-Davidson® is adding even more performance and factory custom style to its 2022 lineup with eight new bikes, all powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin, the company's largest displacement factory engine at 1,923cc.
The new releases include the Grand American Touring models Street Glide® ST and Road Glide® ST, the performance-enhanced Cruiser Low Rider® S, the new Cruiser
Low Rider ST® and four super-premium models from Harley-Davidson® Custom Vehicle Operations™ (CVO™).
„As part of our focus on our important Grand American Touring and Cruiser segments, we have placed power and performance at the forefront of our new products for 2022,“ explains Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of
Harley-Davidson®. „All new models are therefore equipped with our strong
Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V Twin equipped. We have developed these motorcycles for our customers, who always want the biggest and best, and are thus further strengthening our position as the most sought-after motorcycle brand in the world.“
STREET GLIDE ST AND ROAD GLIDE ST
With the new Street Glide ST and Road Glide ST models, Harley-Davidson is bringing two performance baggers onto the road that are obviously derived from the racing machine with which Harley-Davidson won the 2021 MotoAmerica „King of the Baggers“ championship. The two hot rod baggers not only impress with the strong V-Twin power of the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, but also with the subtle contrast between deep black details and a Matte Dark Bronze finish.
To ensure that their riders do not have to do without the necessary comfort when cornering, both models are equipped with everything that belongs to a Harley-Davidson Grand American Tourer - from the assistance systems of the Harley-Davidson Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements to the Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system with color touchscreen and navigation to the cruise control system and the Daymaker® LED headlights. The Street Glide ST is equipped with the classic Harley-Davidson Batwing fairing, the Road Glide ST with the aerodynamic and frame-mounted Sharknose fairing with twin headlights.
LOW RIDER S AND LOW RIDER ST
The Low Rider S and the new Low Rider ST combine the maneuverability and precision of the Harley-Davidson® Softail® chassis with the breathtaking power of the
Milwaukee-Eight 117 Motors.
„We like to be inspired by our customers. We got the inspiration for the Low Rider ST from the fantastic conversions at motorcycle shows around the world,“ says Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design. „We've taken the iconic Motor Company design from the eighties and given it a new and modern identity.
With the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, the raised chassis and the slightly higher side cases, the Low Rider ST not only offers a dynamic visual package, but also a truly dramatic performance.“
The Low Rider S presents itself as a powerful performance cruiser for lovers of unadulterated power. Thanks to its side cases and frame-mounted fairing, it also offers a high degree of versatility. On request, it is even available with a
Harley-Davidson audio system powered by Rockford Fosgate.
The CVO Street Glide is a super premium bagger for bikers who don't hide the qualities of their machine. The classic silhouette of the Batwing fairing, the unbeatable quality of the paintwork and finish, the premium audio system and the breathtaking power of the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine make this bike truly unique.
The CVO Road Glide was developed for riders who want to be ahead of others thanks to the incomparable performance of the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine behind the frame-mounted Sharknose fairing with its unmistakable twin headlights. The power package of an audio system, the exclusive 21-inch front wheel as well as the great custom paintwork and the unrivaled quality down to the last detail round off the machine to perfection.
- The CVO Road Glide Limited is bursting with luxury, long-distance comfort, sensational styling and unparalleled power. The premium audio system, heated seats and handlebar grips as well as the aerodynamic Sharknose fairing make this motorcycle the ultimate Harley-Davison touring machine.
- The CVO Tri Glide is a super-premium trike with unmistakable style, breathtaking performance and real long-distance comfort - not forgetting the confidence-inspiring third wheel.
