2021 Street Glide Special Harley-Davidson Touring Bike – Features and Specs
New Chrome Finish and Two-Tone Paint
The range of exotic Harley-Davidson bikes for 2021 includes a trio of hot rod baggers with new attitudes and amenities. The new 2021 Street Glide Special Harley-Davidson Touring Bike blends imposing street presence with the long-haul characteristics of the Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, with a slammed posture and strong Milwaukee-Eight 114 power. These motorcycles are built to control the street on Friday nights and sprint for the border before dawn.
The new 2021 Street Glide Special Harley-Davidson Touring Bike will be available in new two-tone paint schemes, as well as blacked-out or bright chrome design treatments, providing customers the option of a dark and ominous aspect or a bright and classic style. All Special models now come with a redesigned low-profile engine guard and a high-performance Ventilator air cleaner with a washable filter.
Milwaukee-Eight 114 Power
The Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-Twin engine, the highest displacement and power supplied from the manufacturer for Harley-Davidson Touring model bikes, abilities each Special model. The rubber-mounted and counterbalanced Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine offers thrilling performance and a traditional Harley-Davidson style, sound, and feel in the Touring chassis. 114 cu in (1,868 ccs) displacement, 10.5:1 compression ratio, 118 ft. lb. torque @ 3250 RPM, four-valve cylinder heads (two exhaust and two intake valves per head, for a total of eight valves), increased airflow through the engine helps to power output Dual spark plugs for improved power and efficiency and complete burning of the air/fuel charge. Using a single camshaft eliminates mechanical noise, allowing a fuller exhaust tone to take center stage.
A more excellent compression ratio is possible because of advanced cylinder head design, twin knock sensors, and precise cooling, which allows for enhanced torque output and superior acceleration. The 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 improve fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. Enhances airflow to the engine and adds performance style with the new Ventilator high-performance air cleaner with a washable filter element.
Chassis
The Harley-Davidson Touring frame is built to last, with a robust backbone to carry the weight of passengers and baggage, as well as contemporary engine power. Internal twin bending valve technology provides linear damping performance and a smooth ride in the front suspension.
The lowered rear suspension offers Special models a slammed stance. Emulsion technology rear shocks are designed for touring and include a single-knob pre-load adjustment that requires no tools or maintenance. Unique variants include Prodigy cast-aluminum wheels (19-inch front, 18-inch rear).
Standard ReflexTM Linked Brembo Brakes with ABS (Antilock Braking System) is intended to help the rider retain control while braking in a straight line by preventing the wheels from locking during braking. In an emergency, ABS works separately on the front and rear brakes to avoid uncontrollable wheel lock. RDRS Safety Enhancements (previously known as RDRS) – Optional RDRS Safety Enhancements (formerly known as RDRS) – A set of technologies that adapt a motorbike’s performance to the available traction during acceleration, deceleration, and braking. Linked braking, anti-lock brakes, traction control, drag-torque slip control, tire pressure monitoring system, and vehicle hold control are all included.

New Features for the 2021 Model
Chrome Option: The Street Glide Special model is available in Chrome and Dark design options. Powertrain covers and trim, exhaust, front end, handlebar, tank console, and other features are replaced with chrome. The new Prodigy wheels are finished in Gloss Black including machined accents when the Chrome option is chosen.

Chrome Styling is another color choice (Gloss Black Prodigy wheels with machined highlights), Vivid Black, Black Jack Metallic, and Billiard Red are solid colors.
Snake Venom, Dark Styling, Custom Color (Gloss Black Prodigy wheels), Vivid Black, Gauntlet Gray Metallic, Billiard Red, and Deadwood Green Denim Solid Colors, Snake Venom, Low Profile, Custom Color Engine Guard: This 1.25-inch diameter engine guard mounts 11-inch lower than the average Touring engine guard and includes a slightly forward sweep that offers enough clearance around the brake and shift levers to highlight the Street Glide Special’s slammed low lines.
The old dual-halogen headlight has been replaced with a Daymaker LED headlamp on the Street Glide Special variant. The Daymaker LED headlight packs a powerful punch with a brilliant white beam that illuminates the road and makes the motorbike more visible throughout the day. To further decrease the motorcycle’s profile and separate the Street Glide Special from ordinary Touring versions, a new low-profile center console sits above a redesigned 6-gallon petrol tank with a side fuel fill. An all-new tank medallion based on the Bar & Shield emblem has been released.
