Harley continues to push the boundaries with the rollout of its 2015 model lineup. With the global launch of the Street 750 and Street 500 motorcycles and the electric buzz of Project LiveWire, Harley has unveiled a diverse lineup of motorcycles that have been inspired by customer-led innovation via Project Rushmore.
“The broad 2015 Harley-Davidson model lineup demonstrates our commitment to delivering amazing products to our customers through world-class, customer-led product design,” said Matt Levatich, President and Chief Operating Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “We are one with our riders around the world, and everything we do is about delivering what they expect and deserve from Harley-Davidson.”
Let’s take a closer look at some of the features found on H-D’s 2015 lineup:
Road Glide Motorcycle
After a one-year hiatus, the original alternative bagger is back with a new triple vented, frame-mounted fairing that minimizes head buffeting, dual reflector Daymaker LED headlamps and a new handlebar with reduced reach and a new wrist angle for improved ergonomics.
Road Glide Special Motorcycle
The fully-loaded Road Glide Special is factory-equipped with a premium infotainment system, upgraded suspension, and “Reflex” linked brakes with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Freewheeler Trike
H-D has widened things up a bit with its expansion into the three wheel category. From its mini ape-hanger handlebar to its bobtail fenders, the Freewheeler trike fuses custom style and easy-handling performance. The all-new rear body shape gives the Freewheeler a low, lean profile.
Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low / Ultra Limited Low Motorcycles
With a package of ergonomic enhancements, Harley claims it offers the lowest seat height and highest rider confidence available in a premium touring bike, combined with a full complement of Project Rushmore features and classic styling.
CVO Street Glide Motorcycle
Boasting a new audio system backed by 600 watts of power streaming through four bi-amped front and rear three-way speakers, H-D’s limited-production bagger is a rolling concert that delivers shocking volume and top sound quality. Intricate paint schemes and the added exclusivity of four color options are available, according to Harley.
CVO Road Glide Ultra Motorcycle
Drenched in chrome and custom paint, this super-premium touring motorcycle offers world-class aerodynamics, luxury touring essentials and the unrelenting performance of a Screamin’ Eagle Twin-Cooled Twin Cam 110 engine.
Across its 2015 model lineup, Harley-Davidson offers new refreshed style with eight new paint colors, including new custom colors such as Black Magic and Radioactive Green and new Hard Candy Custom metal flake colors Cancun Blue Flake and Quicksilver Flake.
Harley says it is also adding hundreds of new Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories and making its digital Bike Builder tool even bigger. There are also new Genuine MotorClothes jackets, boots, helmets, shirts and more to add to the shopping cart.
Some of the innovations led by The Rider Project include the Reflex linked brakes with ABS, dual halogen and LED headlamps, brighter Tour-Pak luggage carrier lighting, brighter turn signals, brighter brake lights, and a steering head with stiffer front forks.
Harley shows with its latest releases that it is listening to its customers. Now will they come and buy them, is the question. The new 2015 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and accessories should have started rolling into dealerships in late August, according to the company.
