2021 HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES FUEL PASSION FOR ADVENTURE & FREEDOM
Highlights Include New Street Bob 114 Model and Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate
MILWAUKEE (January 19, 2021) – Harley-Davidson offers motorcycle riders more performance, style, technology and freedom for the soul in 2021. Highlights of the line include the gritty Street Bob® 114 and restyled Fat Boy 114 cruisers, and on-trend new styling options for three popular performance baggers: Street Glide® Special, Road Glide® Special and Road King® Special models. Harley-Davidson will also offer four super-premium models created by its Custom Vehicle Operations team.
“Harley-Davidson enters 2021 focused on motorcycling as an emotional experience,” said VP Marketing, Theo Keetell. “The timeless pursuit of adventure and freedom on the open road is the foundation of our heritage and the vision of our future. As we enter this new year and a new riding season, fueling that desire is more important than ever.”
Street Bob 114 Highlights Cruiser Models
Eight Harley-Davidson Softail® models offer a pure riding experience, combining modern power and technology with authentic American styling. The new Street Bob 114 model adds stripped-down bobber styling and no-nonsense performance to the cruiser line. The lightest-weight Softail model equipped with a powerful Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, the Street Bob 114 is a quick-and-nimble ride with power to spare. It’s loaded with authentic attitude, from its mini-ape handlebar to the chopped rear fender.
With its steamroller stance the Fat Boy® model remains one of the most physically imposing motorcycles in the Harley-Davidson® portfolio. Refreshed styling for 2021 brightens its look as brilliant chrome replaces the satin chrome finish on the powertrain and exhaust, the front end, the rear fender struts and the console.
For cruiser riders seeking more performance, Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories offers Milwaukee-Eight® Screamin’ Eagle Stage® III kits for Softail models that boost displacement and compression for a significant increase in torque and power over the stock engine.
Hot Rod Baggers Highlight Touring Models
The 2021 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycle line includes a trio of hot rod baggers with fresh swagger and new features. With a slammed stance and muscular Milwaukee-Eight 114 power, the Road King Special, Road Glide Special and Street Glide Special models combine a commanding street presence with the long-haul capabilities of the Harley-Davidson Touring chassis. The Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special models have new two-tone paint options, and a choice of a blacked-out or bright chrome styling treatment – a choice between dark and sinister, or brilliant and more traditional. Road King Special and Street Glide Special models are equipped with a new brilliant Daymaker® LED headlamp, and all three Special models feature a new low-profile engine guard that emphasizes their slammed profiles.
All Harley-Davidson Touring models equipped with the color touch-screen Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system now feature Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® application compatibility. With a wired connection to a compatible smartphone, the rider may use either app to access media, streaming services, communication and navigation on the road while minimizing distractions.
