2016 Harley-Davidson CVO™ Limited

Control

• Project RUSHMORE - Engine: As every rider knows, the engine is at the heart of the experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower it delivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives you when you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle engine because we’ve been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us the opportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests with real riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendary Harley-Davidson® engine. The consensus was: we want more. More low-end torque, more passing power, more perfection in the tone of the exhaust note, more of the feeling we ride a motorcycle for. This is the next level of Harley-Davidson® V-Twin engine. And it proves, once and for all, the customer is always right.
• Brembo® Brakes: Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo® brakes offer consistent stopping power. The 4-piston front and rear calipers with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey.
• Ergonomically Designed Hand Controls: It’s hard to enjoy the ride or keep your eyes focused on what’s coming down the road when you’re fussing and bothering with the switches on your handlebar. So when we built the Project RUSHMORE motorcycles, we worked over the hand controls on our touring bikes with as much passion as we worked over our engine. We made the shape more ergonomic and located and angled them to fall right under your thumbs. We added left-hand cruise for easy activation, toggle switches to control infotainment functions, and an easily locatable trigger switch to control and scan through functional readouts. And we improved the feel to give you a confidence-inspiring click at every push of a button. Even the dash panel switch got better. And it’s all prewired for parts and accessories, which even lets you customize with less fuss and bother.
• Project RUSHMORE - Control: Here are some of the innovations Project RUSHMORE led to: the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, the Daymaker™ LED headlamps and fog lamps, brighter turn signals, brighter brake lights, and a steering head with stiffer front forks. Locked-up tires are now history even when there’s wet pavement. We’ve made it feel even better to lean your way through a turn. Now you can see better. And we’ve made you more conspicuous to the cage-driving public. Because one thing we all agree on is this: bikes that work better make riders who ride better. Take a ride. See how good you can be.
• Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS: No doubt about it, there are times when you need to haul things down in a hurry. And you don’t get to pick those times. Or decide whether or not they occur when you’re on a flat, smooth, dry, perfect stretch of pavement. That’s why our touring models feature the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS. ABS turns a locked-up front wheel or a rear wheel skid into a relic from riding’s history. And the front and rear brakes are electronically linked to provide exactly the right amount of brake to each tire no matter what the road condition is. No matter how good you are, this will make you a better rider.
• Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ Engine Innovation: Fire up the Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. Boasting the largest-displacement V-Twin engine by Harley-Davidson, the Twin Cam 110™ engine produces 115 lb-ft of torque at 3750 rpm. Six speeds. A strong driveline and a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
• New Single Integrated Security and Locking Fob: The factory-installed next-generation security system on the CVO™ Limited motorcycle features a hands-free fob that locks and unlocks your machine plus automatically arms and disarms its electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to detail and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
• Ventilator Intake with Screamin' Eagle Badge: Everything about the Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ engine is a testament to the premium styling and performance you get with a limited Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle. Right smack between the engine jugs rests the high-flow 'ventilator' intake with high-flow filter element, Screamin' Eagle® medallion and protective rain sock. Your bike will breathe easy while the increased air flow boosts the raw power. Unique and exclusive. That is what Custom Vehicle Operations is all about.

Feel

• Project RUSHMORE - Comfort: We dialed in the comfort of our machines the hard way: over thousands of miles in all kinds of riding conditions on every kind of street, road and highway ever laid down in pavement. Experienced riders and passengers putting in long hours in the saddle and giving us feedback on every aspect that contributes to comfort on the road. Airflow, heat management, passenger space, back rests, seat textures, legroom and hand controls all went under the hard microscope of the road and got tested and re-tested by real riders and worked and re-worked by us until we were satisfied we had built the most comfortable machines on the road. We all want to go farther, and when you and your passenger are more comfortable in the saddle, you can.
• Batwing Fairing Reduces Head Buffeting: This is what the science of cheating the wind involves at Harley-Davidson now: fluid mechanics, algorithms, high-speed super computers and thousands upon thousands of wind-tunnel tests with riders in the saddle telling us how it feels. And that’s before we take it out on the road for thousands of miles of real world wind gusts and every form of rain a cloud can spit out. The result: a Batwing fairing that delivers smoother air flow and drastically reduced head buffeting. Most of it thanks to the splitstream vent. It opens and closes with one touch of a button. The feeling of being in the wind just got even better.
• Chrome Dual Exhaust: The premium custom look goes the distance on the CVO™ Limited model with the chrome dual exhaust. Featuring 4 inch touring mufflers, chrome end caps and chrome exhaust shields. Relish in the rumble and performance of these high-end pipes.
• One-Touch Design Philosophy: Here’s the rule we laid down for every compartment cover and saddlebag lid on our touring line: if it doesn’t open with the single touch of a button or one hand, while wearing gloves, it doesn’t go on the motorcycle. Because in all our conversations with riders, we've never encountered a single individual who wanted to have to put something on the ground before he could store it in a saddlebag.
• Tour-Pak® Luggage Carrier Design: Like the saddlebags, the Tour-Pak® luggage carrier design sports a sleek look, but it didn't come at the expense of storage space. it can easily accommodate two full-face helmets. There's a document and toolkit pouch. The lock is integrated into the latch to keep your key away from your premium paint. And premium hinges work better and look sharper. You can operate the single latch with one hand. Storage. Check. We have it covered.
• New Custom Suspended Dual Control Heated Seat with Passenger and Rider Backrest: Need help convincing someone to let you buy your CVO™ dream bike or come touring with you? This is for them. With its suspended, dual control design, this restyled custom seat with leather inserts (on the standard model) offers the ultimate in touring luxury for rider and passenger mile after mile. And does it with eye-popping custom-stitched styling for those rare moments when it’s not occupied by a pair of backsides. It sits low and it's trimmed in at the thighs for ultra-comfortable long-hauling. Its suspension feature acts as a secondary shock absorber. The passenger backrest is plush and cozy, with adjustable lumbar support. With all that, plus in-seat heating, even the most finicky hangers-on will be happy to keep on going.

Infotainment

• New Tire Pressure Monitoring In Full-Color Display: This 6.5 inch full-color touch screen puts the info you want in front of you bigger than ever, including a Harley-Davidson first: tire-pressure monitoring right in the display. No more need to pull over and dig out the tire gauge to make sure you’ve got your psi up to snuff. A glance down at the big display and you know you’re good to go. There’s also an alert light on the odometer, just to make sure you’re covered. The 6.5 inch display itself is a wonder of modern graphics, colors you can dial in, and auto and manual dim. It’s all designed to sit stylishly inside your fairing. This is screen technology brought to an eye-popping level of Harley-Davidson functionality. Maybe more than you expect, but when you’re going all the way, it’s everything you deserve.
• BOOM!™ Audio SiriusXM Satellite Radio: Even when you end up in places where radio towers don’t reach, your favorite music, sports, talk and news are along for the ride on the CVO™ Limited model. BOOM!™ Audio SiriusXM® radio gives you over 175 digital channels and coverage from coast-to-coast. Which means you won’t hit that point where the signal starts to fade, the sound gets full of static and you have to start scanning for stations. Instead, you just keep enjoying the song and the ride. You can also sign up for additional Specialty Services through SiriusXM, like graphical weather overlay, forecast, traffic and nearby fuel prices. You get all of these services at no additional charge for the first three months. After that, you can sign up for any or all of them through SiriusXM. BOOM!™ Audio is the ultimate. And this is the ultimate BOOM!™ Audio.
• Boom!™ Box 6.5GT Radio: Let’s start with this. The Boom!™ Box 6.5GT Radio puts out 75 watts per channel at 1% distortion and features a factory-tuned, optimized equalizer that pumps out more power and can be played louder while maintaining the clarity of your sound. And the speed tuning system delivers more than just volume changes at different speeds. It changes the level of bass and treble to dial in the best sound, whether you’re running at a stately pace down the strip or going hell for leather down an open stretch of road. How do you like the sound of a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle?

Style

• Pure Harley-Davidson Styling: Feast your eyes on the Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ engine with Screamin' Eagle® engine badges and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Granite heads and cylinders feature machined cooling fin tips and are highlighted by chrome rocker covers. Exclusive to Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle, the granite powertrain and Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ engine badging are unapologetically distinguished. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers - the Twin Cam 110™ engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
• New Hand-Laid Graphics and Tank Badge: This isn’t just a motorcycle. It’s a work of art, born out of passion, creativity and long days, late nights and refusing to be satisfied until every detail was perfect. When we add the dazzling graphics, we lay them by hand, then apply layer after layer of clear coat until the paint feels so deep you could lose an afternoon just staring at it. When we added the signature badges, we did it with metal. Nothing else would be right on this masterpiece.
• New LED Bullet Turn Signals: The classic Harley-Davidson look of sleek bullet-style turn signals takes a leap forward on the CVO™ Limited motorcycle with the addition of blazing LED lighting. The style grabs the eyes when the bike is leaning on its side stand. The powerful LED bulbs grab them even harder when you hit the blinkers out there in traffic. The CVO™ Limited motorcycle now has LED lighting all around: headlight, taillight and turn signals. It’s how we make sure you’re seeing, and being seen.
• Airflow Collection: The CVO™ Limited motorcycle rolls off the line with a full complement of custom touches from the Airflow Collection: rider footboard inserts, passenger footboard inserts, shifter pegs, brake pedal and cover, highway pegs, heated handgrips with gnurled inserts, and shift lever arms. You want more. More is what you get.
• Mirror Chrome Slicer Custom Wheels with 90 Degree Valve Stem: It's hard to take your eyes off the Chrome Slicer wheels on the new CVO™ Limited motorcycle. But while you're looking them over, notice the 90 degree valve stem. It makes them as easy to fill as well as easy on the eyes.
