Harley-Davidson har presenterat sin hittills mest kraftfulla produktionsmotorcykel
American manufacturer Harley-Davidson has unveiled the CVO Road Glide RR, the brand's most powerful production motorbike, designed in the spirit of the King of the Baggers racing series.
Here's What We Know
Under the bonnet (or rather, under the tank) is a 2147cc V-twin engine:
- 155bhp (26bhp more than Harley-Davidson's previous record, the CVO Road Glide ST)
- 203 N-metres of torque.
The engine gets Screamin' Eagle Stage IV parts, new camshafts, valve springs, larger throttle bodies and a high-performance oil pump.
Other technical features include:
- Akrapovič titanium exhaust with carbon fibre elements
- Screamin' Eagle Racing King 6-speed transmission.
- Aluminium clutch basket, originally designed for racing motorbikes
- Aluminium swingarm complemented by two Öhlins shock absorbers with remote reservoirs
- Öhlins FGR 253 Hypersport Superbike inverted fork
- Brembo GP4-RX brakes - MotoGP version.
Thanks to the extensive use of composite materials, a weight saving of around 23kg was achieved. The bike's ground clearance has been increased by 51 mm, allowing it to lean more in corners.
Equipment and price
The bike also received a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, Skyline OS multimedia system, Cardo Packtalk Edge headset and Rockford Fosgate Stage III audio system (500 watts, 4 channels).
The production run is limited to just 131 units. The price starts at $110,000.
