The all-new Street Glide® and
Road Glide® models feature exceptional performance,
cutting-edge innovation, and bold new design
Celebrating 25 years of Custom Vehicle
Operations™, the CVO™ lineup expands with the introduction of the
all-new CVO™ Road Glide ST®, representing the pinnacle
of bagger performance, and the CVO™ Pan America®, fully
kitted out for extraordinary adventures.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Harley-Davidson® (NYSE: HOG) today revealed four new
2024 motorcycle models ushering in a new era of touring
performance, technology, and design. The all-new Street
Glide® and Road Glide® models featuring the
new Milwaukee-Eight 117, are more powerful, comfortable, and
lighter, and packed with advanced technology, including a new
infotainment system, all wrapped up in a dramatic new visual
design. Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Custom
Vehicle Operations, the new CVO™ Road Glide® ST
model takes hot rod bagger performance to the next level with
racing inspired high performance suspension and brakes, and a
potent new Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO engine, and low final
drive ratio that combine to produce the kind of acceleration and
mid-range thrust aggressive riders crave. And the new CVO™ Pan
America® debuts as the first CVO offering in the
adventure touring segment, ready to take on anything with a host of
standard equipment all wrapped up in exclusive custom paint and
finishes.
Each of these 2024 models are scheduled to reach authorized
Harley-Davidson dealerships in January
2024.
"These exciting new models represent a new era for
Harley-Davidson, elevating every aspect of performance, technology,
comfort, and style," said Jochen
Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson.
"Without question, these are the most enticing touring motorcycles
ever offered by Harley-Davidson."
NEW 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide Models
The 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide models are more powerful,
lighter, and more dynamic, and feature all-new visual design
elements that combine a cohesive dynamic flow from the front
fenders to the saddlebags. Both models feature an evolved fairing
profile that appears refreshingly modern yet retains
Harley-Davidson design DNA that makes them instantly familiar.
Additional key features include:
- An updated Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine
features a new cooling system which further optimizes thermal
comfort for the rider and enhanced intake and exhaust flow to boost
performance.
- Selectable Ride Modes – Road, Sport, Rain and Custom –
electronically control the performance characteristics of the
motorcycle.
- Infotainment technology is powered by Skyline™ OS and presented
on a 12.3-inch TFT color touch screen that replaces all analog
instrumentation and most switches. A new 200-watt audio amplifier
powers a pair of fairing-mounted speakers.
- Improved aerodynamics enhance rider comfort and reduce
subjective helmet buffeting at highway speed by an average of 60
percent. Rear suspension travel is increased to 3-inches. A
redesigned one-piece seat shape and padding materials offer a
significant improvement in long-range comfort for most riders.
NEW CVO Road Glide ST Model Leads 2024 CVO Lineup
The
CVO Road Glide ST is the quickest, fastest, and most-sophisticated
performance bagger ever produced by Harley-Davidson, and represents
a unique collection of components providing high value to
performance minded riders. A deep solo seat and six-inch riser
paired with a moto handlebar put the rider in an aggressive,
upright position with West Coast custom style. Key features
include:
- Two premium paint choices: Golden White
Pearl or Raven Metallic. A Screamin' Eagle graphic on the
fairing sides and fuel tank is inspired by the Screamin'
Eagle® Harley-Davidson® Factory motorcycles
raced in the MotoAmerica® Mission King of the Baggers
series. CVO™ 25th Anniversary graphics celebrate a milestone in
factory customization.
- The Milwaukee-Eight® 121 High Output V-Twin engine
is exclusive to the CVO Road Glide ST model, tuned to produce 127
horsepower (94kW) and 145 lb. ft. (193 Nm) of torque – the most
horsepower and torque ever from a factory-installed engine in a
production Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. A lower final
drive ratio is selected to enhance acceleration performance in
every gear.
- The use of alternate materials helps reduce dry weight to 800
pounds (363 kg). 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 lightweight composite; and wheel design and wave-style
front brake rotors are optimized to minimize unsprung weight.
- Fully adjustable front and rear suspension includes
SHOWA® rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs and
inverted 47mm SHOWA® 1x1 forks.
- Premium Brembo™ braking components provide outstanding braking
feel and performance for added rider confidence.
- Selectable Ride Modes – Road, Sport, Track, Track Plus, Rain,
and multiple Custom modes – electronically control the performance
characteristics of the motorcycle.
- A suite of infotainment technology is powered by Skyline™ OS. A
color touch screen replaces all analog instrumentation and most
switches. A premium audio system features a 500-watt amplifier and
Harley-Davidson® Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate®
Stage II 6.5-inch fairing speakers.
The CVO™ Pan America® motorcycle is a new
vehicle of discovery and the CVO™ program's first adventure touring
(ADV) motorcycle. All of the features that have made the Pan
America® 1250 Special model a leading choice among
discerning global Adventure Touring riders are retained, including
the smooth-and-powerful Revolution® Max 1250 engine,
semi-active front and rear suspension, touch screen display,
selectable ride modes, and Daymaker® Adaptive Headlamp
technology. The CVO™ Pan America® model is outfitted
with a host of rugged accessories selected to enhance the journey,
including Adaptive Ride Height suspension, rugged aluminum top and
side cases, a Screamin' Eagle® quickshifter, tubeless
laced wheels, auxiliary LED forward lighting, an aluminum skid
plate, providing excellent value to the adventure rider who wants
it all and more.
In 2023, the CVO™ Street Glide® and CVO™
Road Glide® models introduced a bold new design
direction for the Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring platform,
the extraordinary performance of the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121
powertrain and advanced suspension, and infotainment technology
powered by the exclusive Skyline™ OS. Both models reprise all of
those features for 2024 with exciting new color options.
