Engine

We already announced the future engine air / water Harley-Davidson in 2011 and is now on the official station as in the concessions of the famous American motorcycle brand. A "revolution" technique for new Twin Cam 103 High Output Twin Cooled, which is distinguished by its heads cooled by internal water circuit (billet) at the exhaust valves, the cylinder body keeping their fins to dissipate heat into the ambient air.
Technical compromise which allows a part of the discrete integration of new cooling liquid Harley-Davidson, 2014, both radiators being hidden in the side fairings at the cylinder lens, while the water pump is placed in the lower part of the box, behind the front wheel. "Honor" is but in any case visually, as a layperson will be hard to distinguish a big twin 2013 model 2014 ... Bet required for Moco therefore meet the standards without falling into the anonymity of cooling "full water".

In addition, and as usual, Harley Davidson does not communicate the power of the new 1690 "liquid". In contrast, the American brand promises a couple of 13.8 daN to 3750 rev / min, an increase of 5 to 7% at low and mid-range and a fifth report more "hairy" than before. We will check in an upcoming trial in France, as the manufacturer announced fuel consumption of 5.6 l / 100 km, the same as the previous model.A new hydraulic clutch control allows easy lever action despite the presence this year of reinforced springs. On the road, it means anyway! And in urban areas, where the gear changes are more frequent handling of the box always appears somewhat tiring.
Aboard the vibrations are very well filtered and the sound of the big twin is captivating, never boring. The throttle response is immediate and large this couple well diced 3 000 r / min. Below, we cruise quietly on the same report from 2500 rev / min.

Chassis

The imposing double cradle steel frame is the junction between the fork tubes 41 mm in diameter (39 mm against previously) and two combined gas adjustable rear shock preload. The geometry of the big American tourers evolves with a steering angle from 29.2 ° to 26 ° and a 10 mm shorter wheelbase. The ground clearance increases by 5 mm, as the seat height.
All discs / calipers is unchanged, but the 2014 models use a new ABS coupled called "ABS Reflex" unpublished. Below 40 km / h, the front and rear brakes operate independently. Above, the combined braking system is activated: the front brake is sought, the rear brake or both, the braking power is distributed electronically on both wheels to optimize performance. The Dunlop D407 is still fitted as original equipment. These multi-pneumatic tires have a tread strengthened, particularly on the large 16-inch rear.

Equipment - Manufacturing

In addition to the timeless style of these new tourers, we appreciate the care with which they are made. Point approximation in the assembly of fairings, chrome on the various elements of the engine, the chassis or body parts, again part quality is at the rendezvous. Behind the new steering head air intake called Batwing, 4 dials learn about the instantaneous speed, engine speed, the charge level of the battery and the fuel level. The rest of the information is distilled through a central LCD screen (instead of the old CD player), 4.3 inches on the Ultra Classic 6.5-inch model, the Limited model. On these screens, you can read the new information system called Boom! Box. Besides the new sound of an audio output of 25 watts per channel with speaker 5.25 inches, it includes a Bluetooth connection and a new Juke box on the dashboard, with a USB port for MP3 or smartphone .
