The new Harley-Davidson Street Rod motorcycle is perfectly built for a city ride. True to the family of Harleys, the vehicle is spectacularly muscular. Every look of the vehicle spells agility, power, and style. It is a middle weight bike which can easily maneuver the traffic and the congestion in the city. To add on to the beauty, the vehicle is made to look more awesome through Harley-Davidson Dark Custom styling.
"The Street Rod will put the thrill in any urban commute," said Mathew Weber, Harley-Davidson Chief Engineer for the Street Rod. "We've paired the potent new High Output Revolution X 750 engine with a revised chassis and up-rated suspension components to make the Street Rod quick, light-handling and easy to ride."
The High Output Revolution X 750 engine that the motorcycle is equipped with gives it 18 percent more horsepower and 8 percent more torque than the standard Revolution X 750 engine. The new single overhead-cam V-Twin engine features a larger air box, a new dual-throat throttle body, revised four-valve cylinder heads and high-lift camshafts, and a higher-volume muffler, reported Yahoo.
The lead designer of Harley-Davidson, Chetan Shedjale stated that the new Harley looks tough and aggressive. The look of the bike aligns with the environment that the riders will experience this motorcycle in.
On purpose, the motorcycle was made to look bulky and the inverted, black-anodized forks and triple clamps along with a new speed screen helped to achieve that. The motorcycle looks even more intimidating with the 17-inch ground clearance. The front end features rigid 43mm inverted forks gripped by a lightweight aluminum triple clamp. In order to make the steering faster, the fork rake angle is tightened from 32 to 27 degrees, reported Maxim.
The motorcycle is accommodated with a new swing arm is slightly longer to accommodate the taller ride height. The lean angle is increased from 28.5 degrees left and the right to 37.3 degrees right and 40.2 degrees left.
The wheels of the motorcycle are efficient as the Street Rod rolls on lightweight, 17-inch front and rear Split 7 Spoke Black Cast Wheels and new Michelin Scorcher 21 radial tires. Dual 300mm-diameter front disc brakes deliver confident stopping power. Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) and the Harley-Davidson Smart Security System are factory-installed options for the Street Rod.
"The Street Rod is the most nimble motorcycle in the current Harley-Davidson line-up," said Weber. "Tires, wheels, suspension and frame geometry are engineered to work together and deliver handling that's light and precise at all speeds."
