What else awaits fans of the brand in 2014 model year?
• Style Dark Custom, which is maintained bike Fat Bob, now is a little different from the traditional style of Harley-Davidson: he has become more "alive". Among the key elements of the new design - the new sloping rear wing with two recessed deep into the circular marker lamps. Black chrome replaced wherever possible: on the motor housing and air cleaner housings on the rear shock absorbers and cross arms, on a round pad lights, and console housing the battery. Aluminium Slotted Disc Wheels were powder coated black with a stripe on the rim and is made laser engraved logo of Harley-Davidson.
• In 2014 model year, anti-lock braking system (ABS) became standard on all motorcycles family Sportster (except for the Iron 883 ™). The family also received a new Sportster controls on the steering wheel, new brake components and system HD ® Smart Security System with remote control.
• The family of motorcycles produced in limited series CVO ™ replenished in 2014 model year motorcycle Softail ® Deluxe - custom-tourer premium equipped with a removable windshield, navigation system, LED headlamp Daymaker LED, removable wardrobe trunks and powerful engine Screamin 'Eagle with a displacement of 110 cubic inches, which is a characteristic feature of motorcycles CVO. CVO ™ Road King ® motorcycle and super-premium CVO ™ Ultra Limited ® back in business - this time with new features and improvements in the project RUSHMORE. Featuring a bold design chopper CVO ™ Breakout ® Softail ® is now available with three new bright color schemes.
• Motor Twin Cam 103 ™ now comes standard on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles and families Dyna Softail ®. Engineers at Harley-Davidson, together with specialists of the project RUSHMORE specially modified the new engine High Output Twin Cam 103 ™ so as to improve its dynamics. With the new camshaft optimizes traction on the "lower classes", and a new air filter housing high-flux motor High Output Twin Cam 103 in touring configuration develops increased by 5% more torque than the standard engine Twin Cam 103 ™. The result was a radical improvement of the dynamics in fifth gear in a range of speeds from 100 to 130 km / h Power margin allows you to perform rapid overtaking on time and return to your lane or the confidence to overcome the long ascent, even with a passenger and an impressive stock of luggage on board. A new air filter housing leaves more room for the right leg and the rider improves its counter-current flow of air. Engine High Output Twin Cam 103 is standard on motorcycles Harley-Davidson Road King ® Classic and Street Glide ® 2014 model year.
• Engine Twin-Cooled ™ High Output Twin Cam 103 ™: specially designed for harsh road conditions, the new engine Twin-Cooled ™ High Output Twin Cam 103 ™ will be available in the Ultra Limited ®, Electra Glide ® Ultra Classic ® and Tri Glide ™ Ultra Classic ® 2014 model year. The combination of air-cooled and liquid-cooled precision allows the engine Twin-Cooled High Output 103 demonstrate exceptional performance in the most challenging and difficult circumstances. The compression ratio is equal to 10:1, increased power and fuel efficiency. Engine Twin-Cooled High Output 103 develops increased by 10.7% and maximum torque increased by 10.6% maximum power, compared with the standard Twin Cam 103 engine. The cooling liquid circulates in the cylinder head around the exhaust valve, and then flows into the heat exchangers disposed at the left and right sides of the lower cowl. The operation of the cooling system thermostat controls, and for the circulation of the coolant pump electric charge. Engine Twin-Cooled High Output 103 also provides the driver and passenger a high level of thermal comfort in extreme conditions such as traffic jams in high ambient temperatures. Due to the low temperature of the cylinder head and the improved form of the air cleaner housing and the lower part of the fairing improved flow of cool air to the driver and passenger.
• New hydraulic clutch all touring bikes and trikes 2014 model year, with the exception of Road King Classic, got a new hydraulic clutch. Thus, even the best, stiffer spring clutch, the force on the lever will remain at the same level with the models, which have cable drive mechanism. Clutch does not require periodic adjustments and service, ensures a constant effort under all operating conditions and for the life of the motorcycle. Tri Glide Ultra Classic 2014 model year received a new clutch mechanism with A & S. This mechanism has a utility function, which increases the operating pressure of the hydraulic drive when the need arises, but it remains at a low level of force required to press the clutch lever. Another function of the mechanism of A & S - slippage. It gives smoother downshifting and engine braking. The force required to push the clutch lever on the Tri Glide, reduced by 23%.
• Antilock Braking System Reflex ™: all touring motorcycles Harley-Davidson 2014 model year will be equipped with anti-lock Reflex ™ with dynamic electronic communication with the brakes as standard. This system combines the functions of anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution dynamic between the front and rear brakes. Electronic communication with the brakes start to work when the motorcycle speed exceeds 40 km / h During braking on a low speed front and rear brake mechanisms operate independently. When electronic communication with the brakes is active, pressing the front brake lever or rear brake pedal braking force will be filed in the front and rear brakes in the proportion which the system defines itself Reflex ™ to optimize braking performance. Reflex ™ system with a dynamic electronic communication with the brakes includes anti-lock system, which helps to keep control of the motorcycle during braking, especially in conditions far from ideal. Antilock Braking System Reflex ™ with dynamic electronic communication with the brakes is standard on motorcycles Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Road King Classic and Street Glide 2014 model year.
• Brake system with dynamic electronic communications for Tri Glide Ultra Classic: installed on the new Tri Glide Ultra Classic braking system with dynamic electronic communications allows the driver to use both front and rear brakes by pressing the rear brake pedal. This is achieved by activation of the two pistons each of the new six-piston front brake calipers at the rear brake pedal is pressed. Thus, the reaction of the brake system on the rear brake pedal is improved by more than 30%. When the driver presses the front brake lever, rear brake mechanisms remain uncommitted, that allows the front brake mechanisms operate independently from the rear. In the new system, parking brake Tri Glide Ultra Classic to activate the parking brake brakes on the rear wheels used pedal, located near the driver's left foot.
• LED light Daymaker ™ LED: LED light Daymaker LED and LED fog lights provide a powerful Daymaker LED focused light. The bright white beam close in the spectrum to daylight and is clearly visible in a traffic stream. Farah Daymaker equipped with two D-shaped lenses: beam lens provides wide beam illuminating the road directly in front of the motorcycle, and separate high beam searchlight lens sends forth a focused beam of very bright light, surely scatter the darkness. LED light Daymaker LED is fitted as standard equipment on the following motorcycles Harley-Davidson 2014 model year: Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited and Tri Glide Ultra Classic.
• Dual halogen light: while new dual beam halogen headlight significantly outperforms conventional single-element halogen lamp as the light beam remains active, which increases the overall brightness of the light. In dual beam halogen headlights also has a longer range and beam width than the LED lights Daymaker LED, halogen lamp but does not have the brightness and whiteness of light, which is inherent in LED headlight. At the respective models of motorcycles in addition to the dual halogen lamp mounted halogen fog lights. Dual halogen lamp is fitted as standard equipment on the following motorcycles Harley-Davidson 2014 model year: Road King Classic and Street Glide.
• Improved front suspension: all touring motorcycles Harley-Davidson 2014 model year received updated front suspension components, including feathers larger diameter front forks and traverse increased rigidity. This makes the bike more responsive reaction at the helm. The diameter of the pen front fork increased from 43.1 mm to 49 mm (14%). The steering column has received increased bearings. Damping properties of the suspension have been greatly improved, making the bike move more smoothly when driving on uneven road surfaces fine.
