2021 Road King Special Harley-Davidson Touring Bike – Features and Price
Milwaukee-Eight 114 Power
The new and powerful Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-Twin engine, the highest displacement and power supplied from the manufacturer for Harley-Davidson Touring model motorcycles, abilities each Special model. The rubber-mounted and counterbalanced Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine gives thrilling performance and a traditional Harley-Davidson style, sound, and feel in the Touring chassis. 114 cubic inches (1,868 ccs), 10.5:1 compression ratio, 118 ft. lb. torque at 3250 RPM, four-valve cylinder heads; increased airflow through the engine helps to power production.
The new dual spark plugs have been used for greater power and efficiency and complete burning of the air/fuel charge. A solo camshaft reduces mechanical noise, allowing a fuller exhaust tone to take center stage. A more outstanding compression ratio is possible because of advanced cylinder head design, twin knock sensors, and precise cooling, allowing greater torque output and superior acceleration. The powerful V-Twin engine has a 45-degree cylinder angle to keep the original Harley-Davidson appearance, sound, and feel. At highway speeds, the 6-speed Cruise Drive gearbox decreases engine RPM to enhance fuel efficiency and greater passenger comfort. It enhances overall airflow to the engine and adds performance style with an all-new Ventilator high-performance air cleaner with the help of a washable filter element.
Chassis
The 2021 Road King Special Harley-Davidson Touring Bike’s frame is built to last, with a solid backbone to carry the weight of both i.e., the passengers and the baggage, as well as contemporary engine power. Internal twin bending valve technology delivers linear damping performance and a smooth ride in the front suspension, while the new Emulsion technology rear shocks are tuned for touring, and it includes a single-knob pre-load adjustment that needs no tools or maintenance. Distinctive variants have a slammed posture because of the lower rear suspension—unique variants featuring Prodigy cast-aluminum wheels (19-inch front, 18-inch rear).
The brand new Standard ReflexTM Linked Brembo Brakes with ABS is intended to help the rider recall control while braking in a straight line by stopping the wheels from locking during braking. In an emergency, ABS works independently on the front and rear brakes to avoid uncontrollable wheel lock.
RDRS Safety Enhancements – Optional RDRS Safety Enhancements– A set of latest technologies adapt a motorcycle’s performance to the available traction during deceleration, acceleration, and braking. Linked braking, traction control, anti-lock brakes, drag-torque slip control, tire pressure monitoring system, and vehicle hold control are all included.
New Features
Low Profile Engine Guard: This 1.25-inch diameter engine guard mounts 11 inches lower than the average Touring engine guard and includes a slightly forward sweep that offers enough clearance around the brake and shifts levers to highlight the Street Glide Special’s slammed low lines. The Daymaker LED headlight, which replaces the former dual-halogen headlamp, is now standard on the Road King Special variant. The LED Daymaker headlight packs a powerful punch with a brilliant white beam that illuminates the road and makes the motorbike more visible throughout the day. A new tank medallion based on the Bar & Shield emblem has been released.
Key Features
Black powertrain covers, mufflers, exhaust shields, front forks, headlamp nacelle, engine guard, handlebar, saddlebag rails, mirrors, foot and hand controls, console, foot boards, and passenger, rear light bar, and front turn signals are among the dark styling elements.2021 Colors available: Vivid Black, Black Jack Metallic, and Deadwood Green are solid. Snake Venom Custom Color, Mini-Ape Handlebar: A 9-inch tall mini-ape handlebar with a 1.25-inch diameter puts the rider in a commanding position and adds personalized design.
The commanding Daymaker LED headlight is kept front and center in this nacelle. To reduce the motorcycle’s silhouette, stretched lockable saddlebags reach below the mufflers. One-Touch latches are simple to open and close with only one hand. Exclusive Color-matched fascia panels between the saddlebags and rear fenders, as well as a low-profile front fender, are among the special features: a low-profile license plate holder and rear illumination that may be used to stop, tail, or turn.
Milwaukee-Eight® 114 Engine
In actual H-D® Touring vehicles, the most significant displacement is available. You’ll have 114 cubic inches of passing and horizon-chasing power.
Reflex™ Linked Brembo® Brakes including Standard ABS
They are designed to help the rider retain control while braking in a straight line by stopping the wheels from locking during braking. In an emergency, ABS works separately on the front and rear brakes to keep the wheels spinning and avoid uncontrollable wheel lock.
Mini-Ape Handlebars
Mini-ape handlebars are 9 inches tall and 1.25 inches broad, allowing you to sit higher, feel more forceful and ride more fiercely.
Blacked-Out Custom Styling
From the strong turbine wheels to the tapered mufflers, this motorcycle is blacked out from top to bottom.
Stretched Saddlebags
On the exterior, it’s elegant, and on the inside, it’s big, with enough storage for your riding needs. With a single touch of a hand, the lids open.
Black Headlight Nacelle has a Matching Trim Ring
Big and dominating, with a headlight that defies the night so you can see and be seen.
Responsive Suspension
High-performance front and rear suspension, as well as readily hand-adjustable rear shocks, provide you with complete control over a comfortable ride.
