It’s the dawn of a new era at Harley-Davidson. The Motor Company took the wraps off four new 2024 motorcycle models this week: The redesigned Street Glide and Road Glide, CVO Pan America, and the race-engineered CVO Road Glide ST. “These exciting new models represent a new era for Harley-Davidson, elevating every aspect of performance, technology, comfort, and style,” claimed Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. “Without question, these are the most enticing touring motorcycles ever offered by Harley-Davidson.”
The Street Glide and Road Glide models are motivated by the new Milwaukee-Eight 117, and engineered to be more powerful, comfortable, lighter and equipped with advanced technology, including a new infotainment system. Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Custom Vehicle Operations, the new CVO Road Glide ST model takes hot rod bagger performance to the next level with racing inspired high performance suspension and brakes, and a more potent Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO engine, while the CVO Pan America debuts as the first CVO offering in the adventure touring segment.
Each of these 2024 models are scheduled to reach authorized Harley-Davidson dealerships in January 2024.
2024 Street Glide & Road Glide Models
The 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide models feature all-new visual design elements that combine a cohesive dynamic flow from the front fenders to the saddlebags. Additional key features include:
• Updated Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine featuring a new cooling system and enhanced intake and exhaust flow to boost performance.
• Selectable Ride Modes – Road, Sport, Rain and Custom – electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle.
• Infotainment technology is powered by Skyline OS and presented on a 12.3-inch TFT color touch screen that replaces all analog instrumentation and most switches. A new 200-watt audio amplifier powers a pair of fairing-mounted speakers.
• Improved aerodynamics enhance rider comfort, reducing helmet buffeting at highway speed by an average of 60%. Rear suspension travel is increased to 3-inches.
CVO Road Glide ST
The CVO Road Glide ST is the quickest and fastest performance bagger ever produced by Harley-Davidson. Key features include:
• Two premium paint choices: Golden White Pearl or Raven Metallic. A Screamin’ Eagle graphic on the fairing sides and fuel tank is inspired by the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series.
• Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin engine is exclusive to the CVO Road Glide ST model, tuned to produce 127 horsepower (94kW) and 145 lb. ft. (193 Nm) of torque – the most horsepower and torque ever from a factory-installed engine in a production Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
• Dry weight reduced to 800 pounds (363 kg). Mufflers have lightweight titanium shells and forged carbon fiber end caps. Wheel design and wave-style front brake rotors are optimized to minimize unsprung weight.
• Fully adjustable front and rear suspension includes SHOWA rear shocks with remote reservoirs and inverted 47mm SHOWA 1x1 forks.
• Brembo braking components provide outstanding braking feel and performance.
• Selectable Ride Modes – Road, Sport, Track, Track Plus, Rain, and multiple Custom modes – electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle.
CVO Pan America
The CVO program’s first adventure touring motorcycle retains all of the features that have made the Pan America 1250 Special a leading choice among global Adventure Touring, including semi-active front and rear suspension, touch screen display, selectable ride modes and Daymaker Adaptive Headlamp technology.
The CVO Pan America model is outfitted with a host of accessories selected to enhance the journey, including Adaptive Ride Height suspension, aluminum top and side cases, a Screamin' Eagle quickshifter, tubeless laced wheels, auxiliary LED forward lighting and an aluminum skid plate.
