Street Glide® Special
One of the most legendary bikes in all of Harley-Davidson® history is the Street Glide®, and the new Street Glide® Special shows why. This bike uses the latest performance technology to provide a smoother ride. For example, the Milwaukee-Eight™ 107 engine is counterbalanced and offers reduced vibration. The suspension has linear damping for managing rough roads and maintaining maximum control and traction. Up front, big batwing fairing helps to break the airstream around the rider to minimize fatigue. It is also paint-matched front to back with the saddlebags, fenders, and fuel tank. You also get that amazing Boom! Box infotainment system with Stage I speakers for crisp, clear sound quality, even at highway speeds. These advances show what makes Harley-Davidson® the original touring bike brand.

Road Glide® Special
The Road Glide® Special is a formidable cruiser. The massive front fairing with its dual headlight design looks like no other vehicle on the road, let alone any other motorcycle. From the profile view, this bike is all shoulders. All-new dark finishes throughout the bike give the bike a sinister appeal. But it's the performance that makes the bike truly special. The suspension was redesigned to offer totally tool-free preload adjustment, while the front suspension helps to keep that tire planet so you always have ideal steering geometry. Reflex-linked Brembo brakes help to keep your bike under control under unexpected braking conditions. The system applies equal pressure to both the front and rear brakes simultaneously at higher speeds so the bike doesn't go into a skid. Not that you'll need entertainment on a bike like this, but the Road Glide® Special offers the latest in infotainment right in the front console. The Boom! Box 6.5GT Touchscreen Infotainment system is voice operated and Bluetooth connected so you can listen to your own music, plot your route, or monitor your bike's condition with ease.

Road King® Special
Previous Road King® models were all about maintaining classic status. They featured lots of glistening chrome, windscreens, and leather panniers. In 2018, the designers at Harley-Davidson® stripped away a good portion of the trim, dropped the chrome, and picked up a sinister new blacked out style that draws stares wherever you go. This bike just looks fresh from the ground up. With no windscreen, the bike gets full access to an in-your-face riding experience. Mini-ape handlebars, forward foot platforms, and a carefully designed seat height help to give the rider a unique and assertive riding posture. The big turbine wheels are finished in glossy black, as is the huge spotlight-style headlight nacelle and front forks. The hard-side saddlebags are paint-matched to the chopped fenders and fuel tank, giving this bike a seamless style that's perfect for light touring and heavy cruising.
