Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson 1746 ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL 2017 Navire des highways

After tempting travelers with a CVO version and then a more affordable version, the Road Glide takes things to the next level with the addition of a hearty helping of displacement, twice as many valves as usual and a nice dose of evolution: the Milwaukee Eight. Returning to the French market with the same impetus as the Rushmore project, the Road Glide is now available in a version called Special. Why Special? For its carefully added equipment. Starting with the BOOM Box 6.5 GT multimedia console, the best Harley has to offer, with GPS, 6.5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB, 25 watts per channel, voice recognition system, etc... Enough to keep you entertained if you feel like listening to something other than the big American twin. And yet, isn't it partly this engine that guided you in your choice? The version chosen for the Road Glide is the air-cooled M8. With more displacement than the Twin Cam 103, better breathing, 8 valves, 4 spark plugs, and many other improvements, this engine offers more watts and above all an impressive 15.2 mkg of torque at 5250 rpm. Not too much to keep this 400-kilo machine cruising. To find out more about the Milwaukee Eight, click here ->

less vibration at idle and greater suspension efficiency. Forks and shocks are from Showa, providing more consistent damping and easier rear-end adjustment.
Recently, the Road Glide benefited from the Rushmore project. The experience of all to benefit the Harleys of tomorrow. The brakes benefit from ABS and the Reflex coupled system. The 300 mm discs are fitted with 4-piston calipers to ensure maximum safety.
The Road Glide's look has changed somewhat. Normal, its eyes are much more efficient Daymaker LED headlights. The brand says it loud and clear in figures: 85% wider and 6% more power in low beam, 35% wider and 45% more power in high beam. But what you'll appreciate most is the optimization of the top fairing, the famous Shark Nose. Subtly redesigned after numerous wind tunnel and road tests, it features a triple vent to equalize pressure in front of and behind the windscreen. As a result, the rider can cut through the air with a peace of mind unknown on a Harley, while enjoying an improved riding position. In fact, the handlebars have been moved 22 cm closer to the rider.
Comfort also includes "One-touch" opening suitcases, cruise control, improved instrument readability and more ergonomic controls. Braking is entrusted to a large team: ABS, Reflex coupled braking, 2 x 300 mm discs at the front and one at the rear, all backed up by 4-piston calipers
