Four-model 2022 Harley CVO range revealed
Harley-Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations or CVO line-up for 2022 has been confirmed. It includes the CVO Road Glide Limited (replacing the CVO Limited), CVO Street Glide, CVO Road Glide and CVO Tri Glide, and all models continue to be powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, despite it’s adoption across a number of new 2022 models, with CVO focusing instead on exclusive paint and surface finishes and a number other features to stand out from the crowd.
The CVO models will continue to showcase the most powerful factory-installed engines as a result, boasting 171 Nm of torque at 3750 rom care of the 117 cubic inch displacement, performance cam, performance intake and exhausts. This is no longer exclusive to CVO for 2022, as they now share that drivetrain with the new 2022 Low Rider S, Low Rider ST, Street Glide ST and Road Glide ST.
The complete tech suite will also be fitted to each CVO including Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements and the Boom Box GTS infotainment system powered by Rockford Fosgate.
Brad Richards – Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design
“Gunslinger is our partner in custom paint that’s been that’s been adding incredible artisanal techniques to our CVO arsenal and family for a long time now, and they’re inspiring us to push the limits, so we try to do the same thing with them,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design. “When most manufacturers are at the limits of a robot, Gunslinger can go in there with an artist who has the ability to brush by hand and deliver the sharpest pinstripe possible. That hand applied technique allows for very intricate two-tones, three-tones, airbrush drop shadows, and really transcends the ‘expected’ by delivering a truly custom look.”
CVO Motorcycle Technology
The Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements is a suite of technology designed to enhance rider confidence and safety, and is a standard fitment on each 2022 CVO model. The system matches performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking, in a straight line or while in a turn. The systems are electronic and utilise electronic brake control and powertrain technology.
Elements of Cornering Riding Safety Enhancements include Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB), Cornering Enhanced Antilock Braking System (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS), Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS), Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Standard is also the Daymaker Adaptive LED headlamp, with sensors and electronics integrated into the headlamp that control 12 additional LED lights that activate based on the lean of the bike to project light into corners.
