The new Harley-Davidson Sport Glide motorcycle introduced earlier at the Eicma 2017 in Milan is a versatile quick-change artist, ready to transition in just minutes from aggressive cruising to weekend touring duty. Outfitted with a detachable fairing and saddlebags, the Sport Glide is the ninth model based on the all-new Harley-Davidson Softail platform and the latest in a line of 100 high-impact motorcycles the company plans to introduce by 2027.
The Sport Glide’s new fairing is shaped to deflect wind away from the rider’s chest while leaving the rider’s head in a clean stream of air. The fairing is secured to the fork tubes with quick-release clamps, making removal or installation fast and easy. The new lockable, rigid saddle bags feature a sleek clam-shell design and can be removed in seconds, leaving behind mounting points that are barely visible. New Mantis cast-aluminium wheels feature sweeping spokes and are the first directional wheels on a non-CVO model.
The rigid-mounted Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-Twin powertrain pumps out a lot of torque for great acceleration and passing power. A broad and supportive saddle sets the Sport Glide’s seat height at just 25.7 inches, with forward-mounted foot controls contributing to a rider triangle designed to fit a broad range of riders. The Daymaker LED headlamp is surrounded by a ring of LED signature lighting. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), electronic cruise control, a USB charging port, keyless ignition and the Harley-Davidson Smart Security System are all standard features of the Sport Glide.
