presentationof the CVO 1870 STREET GLIDE FLHXSE 2017
the Street Glide is THE bagger. One of Harley-Davidson's most cherished models. In France, it's the Sportster Forty-Eight or theIron 883 that lead the way in sales, but this is not the case worldwide, where the Street Glide imposes its leadership. What better way to enhance its reputation than with a luxurious CVO version? A bigger, more powerful, more technical, more modern engine. The Twin Cam 110 bowed out after a decade of service. Now, Harley's must-have engine is called the Milwaukee Eight 114. 4 valves per cylinder, dual ignition, 1,860 cm3, liquid-cooled cylinder heads, more than 100 horsepower and molar-shaking torque. With this new block, the CVO Street Glide gains 1 mkg for a total of 16.8 mkg. In terms of acceleration, this translates into a gain of 8% for 0 to 100 km/h and even 12% for 100 to 130. The M8 leaves the Twin Cam well behind. It also boasts lower fuel consumption and a 75% reduction in vibrations at idle thanks to its balancer shaft.

harley has also focused on suspension. The Showa SDBV 49 mm fork and emulsion shock absorbers should make a significant improvement in efficiency and comfort. No more tires, pumps or tools. A knob of adjustment and you're on the road; for a long time, as the brand specifies remarkable consistency and stability of preload over time.
a true demonstration of the best that Harley-Davidson's CVO department can do, this Street Glide is provocative. Do you want your quiche full? The CVO 1870 Street Glide will give you a run for your money! Harley has gone the auditorium route, as it were, with the addition of a beefy sound system. No less than 600 watts of music surround the rider. Daft Punk and Schubert will shake the Glide! Harley has fitted two four-channel 300-watt amps, static and dynamic equalizers, a DPS module and four three-way bi-amplified front and rear speakers to this Touring. Plug an iTruc or your favorite USB stick into the Jukebox and rewind while the sound surrounds you.
to treat yourself to a CVO is to enter a universe where Greek shipowners, Hollywood stars and unconditional enthusiasts orbit. A machine with an exceptional fragrance, covered in superb paintwork, equipped with the brand's finest peripherals: Daymaker headlights, chrome-plated and polished Agressor wheels, accessories from the Airflow collection such as grips and exhaust tips, CVO custom saddle, Boom! infotainment system, and a large screen Box 6.5 GT infotainment system with large touchscreen and GPS.
more equipment and technology are on tap for 2016, with the appearance of tire pressure monitoring, which can be checked at any time from the dashboard. A new transponder key replaces the two remote controls, and the turn signals are now LED. The range is further enhanced in 2017 with electric locks on the panniers, integrated anti-theft security on the forks, general locking by electronic remote control and a new look for the seat cover.
as standard, you'll be able to pick up a few extras to finish your meal, including cruise control, ABS, HD-Smart keyless ignition, a Sit & Slip device to reduce clutch effort, a mini Splitter windshield, a console with illuminated CVO logo, and everything else you need to cover your sleeping beauty. Each CVO comes with a protective cover featuring the Harley-Davidson prestige department emblem.
