Milwaukee, 23 August 2013 – The lives of newly built machines of old workmanship U.S. motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson brings 2014 the Touring range is a list of innovations that are likely to appear to fans of the brand blasphemous: Liquid-cooled, electronically controlled brake force distribution to the ABS, LED projection lights and an infotainment system with touchscreen, Bluetooth, voice recognition, text to speech and small joysticks on each arm for safe operation.

The most interesting new feature is the cooling of the engine (“High Output Twin Cam 103″) in the region of the exhaust valves is introduced into the Electra Glide models and Ultra Ultra Classic Limited. Such as BMW GS on their Harley calls it a “precision cooling”. A small amount of coolant circulating between this hot region and two side-mounted radiators with temperature controlled fans zuschaltenden. The engine can then cooled drive a modified camshaft, which is to deliver more peak power, but especially more power at the center. To fit the engineers at the air filter. The cooling helps not only more power, it also helps in air-cooled engines for thermally challenging area of ​​very slow driving in convoys, including Harleys are often used.

range above 40 km / h automatically assumes the new electronic brake force distribution, the adjustment of the brake pressure for both axes, namely, whether the driver now operates the hand or the foot brake. Under 40, the system behaves like a conventional motorcycle dual-circuit system (one circuit per axis). Since heavy touring with strongly varying load and therefore drive wheel loads, the system is expected to drastically reduce stopping distances in practice. Further steps towards road safety. Thicker, stiffer fork (49 mm) and a hydraulically assisted clutch

From designation and look very striking are the LED bulbs, the “Daymaker”. They are available except for the Electras for the new Softail models. The option for the Electra available “Boom! Box” is a motorcycle infotainment system with color touch screen, navigation, audio “Jukebox” (a box in disguise to iPod, iPhone or USB flash drive infected), speech recognition and intercom function, the latter both realized through BT headset and headset profiles in the helmet. Intercoms are popular accessories electronics, so that driver and passenger can talk on tour.

Harley plans, the news and even the 2014er model range at the open day at the dealers (“Open House”) on the 14th September imagine. The model overview in addition to the 2014er-prices can be found here
