Harley-Davidson's twin custom revolution

Last Updated 17 October 2017, 18:32 IST

To celebrate Harley-Davidson’s 115th Anniversary, the company in India launched a complete custom revolution: Four all-new Softail models that merge the hard-riding performance of the Dyna line with the unparalleled custom look of the Softail line. Four brand new Softail motorcycles - Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, Fat Bob and Street Bob - will be available in India

Designed under the largest Product Development Project in company history, the new bikes feature a stiffer and significantly lighter frame built to harness the high torque output of the new dual-counterbalanced Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine.

With high-performance dual-bending valve front suspension and an easily adjustable hidden rear monoshock, the aggressively styled 2018 Softail models are faster, lighter and better handling than any of their Big Twin cruiser predecessors.

Peter MacKenzie, Managing Director for Harley-Davidson India and China, said, “Our new offerings strongly demonstrate Harley-Davidson’s focus on reinventing products for motorcycle enthusiasts and aspiring riders. The 2018 Softail custom motorcycles have been inspired by Harley-Davidson’s history, authenticity and styling DNA through a modern lens.”

All 2018 Softail models get a new heartbeat from the most powerful engines ever offered in Harley-Davidson Big Twin cruisers, the new Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-Twin. Milwaukee-Eight engines retain the iconic 45-degree V-Twin cylinder angle with a broad-shouldered top end accentuated by a single camshaft design that tapers to a slim bottom end for a muscular contour.
