Harley-Davidson 2016 lineup gets darker and more powerful

Milwaukee - Iron 883, Forty-Eight, S Series Softails with Twin Cam 110 and Road Glide Ultra lead new models

2016 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Highlights

Project RUSHMORE's customer-led touring revolution expands with the return of the Road Glide Ultra motorcycle 
"With more performance, more style, and more features than ever before, we've introduced the best collection of cruisers in Harley-Davidson history. The new Iron 883 and Forty-Eight models are the purest expression of our Dark Custom design movement yet, and our customer-led leadership in the touring segment continues with the return of the Road Glide Ultra, a motorcycle that many of our long-distance riders have been asking for," said Mark-Hans Richer, Harley-Davidson Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. 
Dark custom 
Drawing inspiration from garage-built bobbers past and present, the new Iron 883 is intentionally raw and rough around the edges. Colours and finishes were selected to complement the grit and grime of the road - because some bikes just look better dirty.
Most powerful cruiser lineup ever 
Rear tires will beg for mercy with the most powerful cruiser model lineup in Harley-Davidson history. Powered by the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, the new Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S cruisers deliver the unrestrained performance once reserved for Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) models.
Softail Cruise Control 
There's more cruiser news in 2016; for the first time ever electronic cruise control is available on all Harley-Davidson Softail models. The convenience of Harley-Davidson electronic cruise control, enabled by new electronic throttle control, is standard equipment on 2016 Heritage Softail Classic, Softail Deluxe, Fat Boy S and Softail Slim S models and available as an accessory for all other 2016 Softail models. 
New Sportster Suspension 
All 2016 Sportster models will tame rough roads with all-new front and rear suspension and seats working together to enhance rider comfort and control. The new seats incorporate premium materials and revised shapes to provide more supportive comfort.
The re-engineered Sportster suspension pairs emulsion coil-over shocks with new front cartridge forks. Nitrogen gas-charged shocks resist oil aeration and feature an internal valve stack with 36mm pistons and high-performance oil to provide superior compression and rebound damping control that reacts quickly to small bumps and keeps the tires in contact on uneven road surfaces. 
Tuned to complement the shocks, the stout forks feature a calibrated piston and valve stack and progressive rate springs for consistent feel throughout the compression and extension range of the suspension. The triple-rate spring and oil lock allows the forks to resist wheel hop under hard braking. 
Road Glide Ultra 
A two-year absence from the Harley-Davidson Touring line was time well spent infusing the Road Glide Ultra with enhanced style, outstanding aerodynamics and optimized touringergonomics for rider and passenger- the full influence of the customer-led Project RUSHMORE product-development effort. Propelled by the unrelenting performance of the Twin-CooledT High Output Twin Cam 103T powertrain, the new Road Glide Ultra will exceed the expectations of the most demanding touring motorcyclist. 
Heritage Softail Classic 
Combining nostalgic style with smooth, modern Softail performance, the Heritage Softail Classic receives refreshed styling for 2016 plus the High Output Twin Cam 103 powertrain, standard electronic cruise control, and a new and improved saddlebag support structure. 
The new 2016 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and accessories will start rolling into Harley-Davidson dealerships immediately.
