HARLEY-DAVIDSON PRESENTS THE ICONS AND
ENTHUSIAST MOTORCYCLE COLLECTIONS FOR 2024
The strictly limited Hydra-Glide Revival and the Tobacco Fade models celebrate their premiere at Daytona Bike Week
FRANKFURT (02/29/2024) - Curtain up: Harley-Davidson unveils the latest models in the Icons Motorcycle Collection and the Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection with elegant graphics and impressive special paintwork that are applied using sophisticated technology. Daytona Bike Week from March 2nd to 9th in the Harley-Davidson Event Display Area at Daytona International Speedway and can now be ordered from HD dealers. However, if you want to own one of the motorcycles in the future, you should hurry up, as both collections are strictly limited and the bikes will be correspondingly rare.
Inspiration for the Icons model was also provided by the look of the machines driven in the American feature film The Bikeriders. It takes place in the 1960s, tells the story of the rise of a motorcycle club in the American Midwest from the perspective of the members and is scheduled to come to our cinemas in July 2024.
The Hydra-Glide Revival from the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection
The Hydra-Glide Revival, the fourth model in the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection, will be released in 2024. Their look is a nod to the classic Hydra-Glide types – those models from the E and F series on which Harley-Davidson introduced the telescopic fork 75 years ago. Starting in 1949, they helped make exploring the United States on interstate highways even more convenient. The 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival also promises freedom and adventure of its own, which is visually influenced by this long-gone era and at the same time offers the technology, comfort and equipment of a modern Harley-Davidson.
As part of the Icons Motorcycle Collection, the Motor Company presents a strictly limited edition model once a year that pays homage to a classic Harley-Davidson. Each individual machine in the collection is numbered and is only manufactured in the year in which it was released. Only 1,750 units of the new Hydra-Glide Revival will be manufactured and will soon be available from HD dealers.
Exclusive styling
The Hydra-Glide Revival is painted in special Redline Red and the sides of its tank are painted Birch White - a look consistent with the 1956 models. The harmonious details include the Hydra-Glide lettering on the front fender as well as chrome-plated tank badges with the Harley-Davidson V lettering, the style of which is inspired by the tank badges from 1955 and 1956. In addition, the Hydra-Glide Revival Insert on the handlebar riser and the Icons Motorcycle Collection graphics on the rear fender make the strictly limited model unmistakable.
The Harley-Davidson speedometers from 1954 and 1955 served as a model for the speedometer dial and the lower part of the 53.3 cm high disc was colored in Redline Red. A round air filter and wire-spoke wheels underline the nostalgic look. They are also chrome-plated, as are the fender strips, the crash bars, the fork covers, the engine and the exhaust system.
The solo saddle is equipped with a leather valance decorated with fringes, chrome rivets, white piping with red contrasting stitching, chrome-plated conchos with a border and a center made of red acrylic and spanned by a chrome-plated railing. The leather tank strap is in the same style. Rivets, leather fringes, conchos and piping with contrast stitching also decorate the leather and vinyl saddlebags. Their surfaces are water-repellent and they have safety locks and sturdy case shells so that they retain their shape even after years of use.
Nostalgic look, modern performance
The Milwaukee-Eight 114, which the Motor Company equips with a Screamin' Eagle high-flow air filter for superior performance, guarantees befitting propulsion. Thanks to the Softail chassis, the shock absorber is not visible under the seat. This preserves the classic hardtail look while ensuring dynamic handling and a high level of comfort. If desired, an electronic cruise control keeps the speed constant, an LED headlight with additional lights illuminates the road in an exemplary manner and the anti-lock braking system guarantees added safety.
The Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection
The rhythm of the V-Twin hits real Harley fans right in the heart just as much as the beat of rock 'n' roll. It is this burst of collective energy during live acts in a club, at a motorcycle rally or at the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival that provided the inspiration for the Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection. With their classic sunburst finish, electric guitars and basses from the 1960s served as the model for the Tobacco Fade finish and graphics - a look that will delight music fans.
The machines in the Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection are strictly limited, a sign of appreciation for Harley-Davidson fans and inspired by the stories of the petrolheads. The current collection is available in just three models, of which no more than 2,000 units are produced each.
Tobacco Fade's color gradient is created in state-of-the-art precision painting systems. Rich, caramel-colored pinstripes accentuate the color of the shiny metallic gold areas beyond the sunburst fade areas. The tank emblem is reminiscent of the shape and grooves of a vinyl record, while the logo on the front fender is designed like a guitar pick. The logos of rock bands and instruments served as inspiration, which is also reflected in the lettering.
The Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection includes:
Low Rider ST
The Low Rider ST is powered by the particularly powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117 and has a clean West Coast style. Two suitcases hold the luggage and the frame-mounted panel protects against the wind.
Ultra Limited
With its classic batwing fairing, a powerful infotainment and audio system, two suitcases and a Tour-Pak with luggage rack, the Ultra Limited offers driver and passenger uncompromising comfort.
Tri Glide Ultra
The trike offers ideal conditions for long distances. The batwing fairing, the large trunk, a Tour-Pak and two extremely comfortable seats including back and armrests for the pillion passenger all contribute to this.
All technical features of the three models are identical to those of the 2024 models on which they are based.
Special styling features for all models
– Premium paint finish in Tobacco Fade
– Vinyl inspired tank medallion
