The 2026 CVO portfolio includes the all-new CVO Street Glide ST, CVO Street Glide Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited models and the revised CVO Road Glide ST and CVO Street Glide models. Unrivaled Paint and Design For 27 years Harley-Davidson Design and Styling teams have used the CVO program not just to design exclusive paint schemes for CVO motorcycles, but to advance painting and finish techniques and technology in ways never seen in the motorcycle space new colors and flake treatments, flames and fades and ghosted details, metal grinding and polishing, alternate plating and coating technologies, intricate multi-color schemes accented with hand-laid pinstriping and new color-shift paints that no other powersports or automotive manufacturer has ever attempted in mass production. A CVO motorcycle is shipped with a finish to rival that of a one-off custom but meets Harley-Davidson standards for durability and quality, backed by the full factory limited warranty. Each paint scheme is unique for that model year, never carried over or repeated, which adds to its exclusivity. Exclusive High Performance Each 2026 CVO motorcycle is powered by a high-performance Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight engine that is exclusive to the CVO program. The powertrain is engineered and tested as a complete high-performance system by Harley-Davidson engineers utilizing Screamin Eagle performance components informed by extensive testing by the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Race Team for the Mission King of the Baggers racing series. The cylinder head cooling system enhances engine cooling efficiency, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. Cylinder heads incorporate channels for coolant flow around the exhaust valve areas. An electric pump circulates coolant through the system to a heat exchanger backed by a thermostatically controlled fan located low on the front of the frame. The air flow from the fan is directed below the motorcycle for enhanced comfort, especially at low vehicle speeds. Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 Powertrain is exclusive to the CVO Street Glide, CVO Street Glide Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited models and features optimized liquid-cooled cylinder heads, variable valve timing (VVT) with a high-performance camshaft, an efficient intake tract with four-liter airbox, a high-performance charging system and high-flow exhaust with 4.5-inch diameter mufflers. Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 Specs Displacement: 121 cubic inches (1977cc) Bore x Stroke: 4.075" x 4.625" Compression Ratio: 11.4:1 Fuel Octane Recommendation: 91 Torque: 138 ft-lb (187 Nm) @ 3750 rpm Horsepower: 114 HP/85 kW @ 4500 rpm Variable Valve Timing (VVT) broadens the overall powerband and improves fuel efficiency 2 percent to 3 percent compared to the same engine with fixed valve timing. Through computer control, VVT advances or retards camshaft timing infinitely through a potential range of 40 degrees of crankshaft rotation (20 degrees of camshaft rotation). The rider will feel improved low-end performance, ideal for passing, accelerating into traffic and climbing long mountain pass roads when laden with a passenger and gear. Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO Powertrain is exclusive to the CVO Street Glide ST and CVO Road Glide ST models. Key features include a high-performance camshaft, high-performance intake, and tachometer redline elevated to 5900 RPM. Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO Specs Displacement: 121 cubic inches (1977cc) Bore x Stroke: 4.075" x 4.625" Compression Ratio: 11.4:1 Fuel Octane Recommendation: 91 Torque: 145 lb. ft. (197 Nm) torque at 4000 RPM Horsepower: 127 horsepower (95 kW) at 4900 RPM High-Performance Camshaft has the same lift and duration as the camshaft fitted to the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine, but its timing is changed to boost horsepower at the top of the RPM range. Tuned to produce peak horsepower, this engine is not equipped with variable valve timing (VVT). High Performance Intake/Heavy Breather Air Cleaner is race-inspired intake engineered specifically for the Milwaukee-Eight 121 HO engine. This intake flows 26 percent more air than the Milwaukee Eight VVT 121 airbox to contribute to increased power output. Its tuned length is designed to maximize torque and horsepower. It is shaped to minimize weight and to maximize rider leg clearance while producing an aggressive sound quality. Elevated Redline to 5900 RPM with a time limit at this engine speed of 25 seconds before calibration intervenes. Peak RPM with no intervention is elevated from 4600 (Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine) to 4750. The higher redline allows the rider to be very aggressive on the throttle. Top Speed is electronically limited to 120 mph (CVO Road Glide ST model) and 110 mph (CVO Street Glide ST model) for 25 seconds maximum, making these the fastest Grand American Touring motorcycles ever offered by Harley-Davidson. This speed is appropriate for special situations, such as a track day on a closed racecourse. CVO Technology Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidsonis a collection of technologies designed to enhance rider confidence during unexpected situations or adverse road conditions. Rider Safety Enhancements are designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking. The systems are electronic and utilize the latest chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain technology. CVO models are equipped with these elements of Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson: Straight Line/Cornering Electronically Linked Brakes (ELB/C-ELB) Straight Line/Cornering ABS (ABS/C-ABS) Straight Line/Cornering Traction Control (TEC/C-TCS) with modes Straight Line/Cornering Drag Torque Slip Control (DSCS/C-DTSC) Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) CVO Street Glide 3 Limited only Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPMS) Selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of technology intervention.

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ironcitymotorcycles.co.uk/news/2026-harley-davidson-trike-models THREE 2026 HARLEY-DAVIDSON TRIKE MODELS INTRODUCE ALL-NEW REAR SUSPENSION AND ELEVATE RIDER AND PASSENGER COMFORT The new 2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3, Street Glide 3 Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited models introduce a second generation of Harley-Davidson Trike design with revised chassis and all-new rear suspension for significantly improved rider and passenger comfort. Each model also delivers a host of new convenience, performance, technology and styling features that align with premium Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring motorcycles, with the added benefit of the rider confidence offered by a three-wheeled platform. NEW Rear Suspension is designed to deliver an ideal combination of enhanced rider and passenger comfort and confident control over a variety of road surfaces and riding situations. Rider and passenger will experience a composed and planted feel on the straights and in corners, calmer steering, less fatigue, and overall improved confidence as they enjoy the genuinely plush ride. The new rear suspension offers a 117 percent increase in rear-wheel travel from 2.3 inches to 5.0 inches (58.4mm to 127mm). The increased rear suspension travel allows the Trike to better absorb bumps and potholes while minimizing side-to-side rocking or bump roll. Less bump roll reduces required rider course correction at the handlebar even when encountering uneven pavement on sweeping, high-speed turns. The new suspension design replaces the previous live axle with a de Dion-type suspension. The cast aluminum de Dion axle connects the left and right wheels and acts as a trailing link to locate the wheels longitudinally (fore and aft). The axle is connected to the revised chassis at its forward point through a spherical joint that allows it to move up and down and to pivot relative to the chassis center line. If the right wheel moves upward the left will tilt at a similar angle but with little influence on the chassis or the rider and passenger. Unsprung weight is reduced by approximately 68 pounds, which permits the use of softer springs and shock absorber settings to fully utilize the increased suspension travel for rider and passenger comfort. The differential is now mounted directly to the chassis, removing its weight from the suspension. A new reverse drive system eliminates the weight of the previous electric reverse motor that was mounted on the rear axle. Power is transferred from the differential to the rear wheels through left and right half-shafts, each with inner and outer CV joints. The final belt drive sprocket is relocated from the axle to the chassis-mounted differential. In the event the belt must be replaced, this service may now be accomplished without removing the entire rear axle assembly from the vehicle, reducing the shop time required for this service from approximately 5.3 hours to 3.6 hours. A Watts linkage keeps the axle centered relative to the vehicle while permitting motion through its range of suspension. A stabilizer bar acts to control vehicle roll in turns. Left and right emulsion shock absorbers and coil springs provide suspension damping. The rear suspension preload may be adjusted for changes in passenger and gear weight using a knob conveniently placed below the left-side passenger footboard. The rear track is 1.5 inches (38.1mm) wider than the previous Trike to create the required clearance for the new wheel motion. The rear fenders were changed slightly to accommodate this range of motion and restyled to complement the other updated styled surfaces. The shape of the rear footboards is also changed to provide additional foot space for the passenger. Wheelbase is extended 1.6 inches (40mm) to maintain the desired front/rear weight distribution. NEW Reverse System is powered by the engine starter motor, replacing the separate electric reverse motor found on Trike models through 2025. Reverse can be used by the rider to back a Trike model when parking or moving the vehicle in a garage. This new reverse system is significantly lighter than the previous system. The engine must be running to engage reverse. Step-by-step prompts on using reverse will appear on the infotainment touch screen To engage reverse, the rider stops with engine idling, shifts to 1st gear and then presses the dual-function Reverse/Start button. The motorcycle shift lever can then be depressed to engage reverse gear powered by the electric starter motor, rather than the internal combustion engine. After engaging reverse, the rider uses the throttle twist grip to select reverse motion. Twist grip actuation is similar to throttle control and facilitates better handlebar ergonomics for confident maneuvering. Reverse motion is either on or off. The speed of the Trike in reverse cannot be modulated through the throttle grip. Reverse motion is limited to 20-second intervals to protect the electric motor. Reverse is not intended to be used to move the Trike a long distance. A clutch between the electric reverse motor and its drive gear protects the system if the rider uses the vehicle brakes while the reverse motor is engaged. To disengage reverse the rider simply shifts the Trike back to first gear. NEW Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 Engine The new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 engine powers the Road Glide 3 and Street Glide 3 Limited models. With more displacement, enhanced intake and exhaust flow, and variable valve timing (VVT) the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 117 engine offers up to 7.5 percent more torque and 13 percent more horsepower than the Milwaukee-Eight 114 powertrains in 2025 Trike models. Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT Specs Displacement: 117 cubic inches (1923cc) Bore x Stroke: 4.075" x 4.50" Compression Ratio: 10.3:1 Fuel Octane Recommendation: 91 Torque: 129 lb. ft. (175 Nm) @ 3250 rpm Horsepower: 105 HP/78 kW @ 4600 rpm Variable Valve Timing (VVT) broadens the overall powerband and improves city/highway average fuel efficiency by 2 percent to 3 percent compared to the same engine with fixed valve timing. The rider will feel improved low-end performance, ideal for passing, accelerating into traffic and climbing long mountain pass roads when laden with a passenger and gear. The cylinder head cooling system enhances engine cooling efficiency compared to the Milwaukee-Eight 114 powertrain, especially in low-speed riding situations and hot weather. Cylinder heads incorporate channels for coolant flow around the exhaust valve areas. An electric pump circulates coolant through the system to a heat exchanger backed by a thermostatically controlled fan located low on the front of the frame. The air flow from the fan is directed below the motorcycle for enhanced comfort, especially at low vehicle speeds. The charging system produces current capability at both idle and cruising speeds to support popular accessories while maintaining optimal battery health. Charging output is 58 peak amps, a 21 percent increase in charging power compared to 2025 models with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 powertrain.

Most riders will find that the combination of aero design and adjustable elements results in a significant improvement in overall aero comfort compared to previous Road Glide fairing/windshield combinations. The fairing is mounted directly to the motorcycle frame, making it independent of the steering and front suspension. This significantly reduces steering effort in tight maneuvers at low speed, compared with a fork-mounted fairing, because the rider does not have to support the weight of the fairing through the handlebar. The inner fairing incorporates a 12.3-inch color touchscreen display, two audio speakers and left- and right-side media storage compartments. The right compartment is equipped with a USB-C connection point. A low-profile smoked windscreen is shaped to appear to float over the fairing and acts as an element of the aerodynamic design focused on reducing helmet buffeting at highway speed. Hand control functions for menu-related selections on the display screen are relocated to the left-hand control, moving them away from the throttle (right) hand for rider convenience. NEW Seat is shaped to integrate with the revised fuel tank and side cover design. The one-piece two-up seat has a sleek performance contour that blends with the top of the trunk. Seat shape and padding materials offer a significant improvement in long-range comfort for most riders. The seat is shaped to rotate the riders hips to a neutral position relative to the spine. This reduces the effort required to maintain a comfortable riding posture, reducing fatigue on rider back and neck. Soft-touch passenger grab handles maintain a low profile. NEW High-Performance Audio is provided by a 4-channel 200-watt amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel. The new amplifier delivers 100 percent more power and improved sonic performance compared to the previous Trike system. The motorcycle is equipped with two premium Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate 6.5-inch fairing-mounted speakers. Steel speaker grilles offer a premium look. Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate speaker and amplifier upgrades for fairing and saddlebags are available through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories and can be installed by the customer using the Skyline OS user interface managed on the touchscreen. The Weather-Proof Rear Trunk has a top-mounted door for easy loading; capacity is 2.0 cubic feet (56.6 liters). NEW Street Glide 3 Limited Model The 2026 Street Glide 3 Limited model heralds a new era of long-haul three-wheel touring. The rider and passenger will experience optimized comfort from an all-new rear suspension design and enhanced performance from the new Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT engine. The new Street Glide 3 Limited model also delivers outstanding aerodynamic comfort, selectable Ride Modes, premium Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate speakers and Harley-Davidson Skyline OS featuring embedded navigation. Its contemporary design offers a refreshed profile and enhanced aero comfort for the rider. Aboard the Street Glide 3 Limited model a rider and passenger committed to the open road will tour with confidence and comfort for as long as they wish to ride. NEW Styling Features Choice of Chrome or Black Trim in the following color options: Dark Billiard Gray (base), Vivid Black, Iron Horse Metallic, Brilliant Red, New Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black (Hero), New Purple Abyss/Vivid Black (Colors may vary by market) NEW Streamliner Collection accessories include rider footboards, passenger footboards, brake pedal pad, and footpegs for the highway pegs.

Wheel diameter is 19-inch front and 18-inch rear. Rear wheels are secured with five exposed lugnuts, rather than the previous four, for a performance styling cue. Key Street Glide 3 Limited Model Features NEW Street Glide Fairing offers a classic Harley-Davidson batwing profile updated with evolved design and enhanced aerodynamic performance. Most riders will find that the combination of fairing, fairing lowers and air deflectors results in a significant improvement in overall aero comfort compared to the previous Tri Glide Ultra model. A clear touring windshield is four inches taller than the standard Street Glide model windscreen and shaped to contribute to aero comfort and protection from the elements. The inner fairing incorporates a 12.3-inch color touchscreen display, two audio speakers and a single media storage drawer located directly below the infotainment display screen, equipped with a USB-C connection point. NEW Fairing Lowers are designed to add wind and weather protection around the leg area. Integrated venting is designed to fine-tune airflow by using a small lever the rider can adjust. A storage compartment with capacity of 0.15 cubic feet (4.2 liters) is built into each fairing lower. The compartment door has a push-button latch and smooth, damped action. These compartments are ideal for keeping gloves, keys, wallet and other small items handy. NEW Integrated LED Fog Lamps in the fairing lowers offer clean styling and improved lighting performance compared to previous auxiliary lighting. NEW Grand Tour-Pakluggage carrier is shaped to complement the visual design elements of the new Trike bodywork. Overall passenger room has been increased along with overall improvement in ergonomics.

Dual-zone heated rider and passenger seating is controlled by on-seat switches. Rider and passenger can each select from High/Low/Off heat settings to optimize comfort. A new shape and padding materials update the look and feel of the seat while maintaining the long-range comfort touring riders demand. The seat is shaped to rotate the riders hips to a neutral position relative to the spine. This helps reduce the effort required to maintain a comfortable riding posture, which can help reduce fatigue on rider back and neck. The passenger seating area is slightly wider than the previous design and re-shaped to optimize comfort. NEW Heated Hand Grips provide the rider with additional cool-weather comfort. NEW Cast Aluminum Passenger Grab Rails with enhanced ergonomics are shaped to provide passenger comfort and confidence. NEW Highway Footpegs mount to the engine guard and offer the rider an optional foot position to stretch out legs on long rides. The footpegs are adjustable for rider preference. NEW Heel Shifter is standard. Shifter angle is adjustable, and it may be easily removed to meet rider preference. Two Pre-Wired Connection Points for heated gear are provided below the seat, a location which makes it easy for rider and passenger to plug in heated gear without adding a connector.

Hand-applied drop shadow airbrushing is added within the Magnetic Gray to further enhance the custom details. The scheme is completed with silver pinstripes and Harley-Davidson Orange accents on the seat trim, wheels, engine and fuel tank medallion.

Aprilia is back to its winning ways in the off-road disciplines, and it does it in grand style: Aprilia Tuareg triumphs at its debut in the Italian Motorally Championship, winning the Italian title with Jacopo Cerutti in the G-1000 category, reserved for multi-cylinder bikes over 600 cc. A win that had never before been achieved by any twin-cylinder - with Cerutti dominating in no fewer than six of the eight rounds raced - but which is even more astonishing because, astride the Aprilia Tuareg, the Como native came close to absolute victory several times, finally taking it in the last event - the Sardinia Rally. An unprecedented win. Until now, a twin-cylinder bike had never won a rally against the lighter, specialised, single-cylinder enduro bikes. This performance stems from the extraordinary off-road base features of the Aprilia Tuareg, as well as the incredible development work carried out by Aprilia Racing and GCorse of the Guareschi brothers. What did Jacopo Cerutti have to say? We are all thrilled with this result! We arrived in Sardinia a bit nervous, knowing that we would be laying it all on the table here at the final event, but in the end, everything went well. At the beginning of the year, we were not thinking about victory. Our priority was to develop the bike in order to prepare for future commitments, but we soon realized that we had the potential to win. The bike proved to be competitive straight away, thanks to an outstanding base, and I adapted well... at that point, the great desire to win came out immediately and we had a go! Developed to win by Aprilia Racing Developed by Aprilia Racing in collaboration with GCorse of the Guareschi brothers, the Aprilia Tuareg competition version is fitted with hlins by Andreani suspension, a complete SC Project exhaust in titanium, and a specific Sprint Filter air filter. The collaboration with Metzeler was invaluable, a company which is looking at the twin-cylinder adventure world with ever increasing interest. Already extremely fast on Friday - dedicated to the Raid TT - first in the G-1000 category and third overall on Saturday, Jacopo Cerutti outdid himself the following day, finishing second overall. Top notch performance on all three days which allowed him to win in the rallys absolute standings. In addition to the Italian G-1000 title, Cerutti also finished absolute third in the Italian Motorally Championship, which is also an unprecedented result for a twin-cylinder bike.

The race, spanning from December 30, 2023, to January 14, 2024, will challenge participants to conquer over 6500 kilometers across two continents, offering a thrilling display of endurance and strategy. Harley-Davidson has accepted this challenge and with Joan Pedrero on board the Pan America we face that challenge head on. United we Ride. STAGES 1 & 2 Joan starts in second position. It's a mostly flat stage in terms of terrain, and the final result is good: Joan achieves 8th place. STAGE 2 - Starting from Boudnib, the situation has become more complicated. The terrain was much more challenging and rugged, with dunes and rocky tracks. There have been several falls by different riders from other bikes. The Pan America and Joan have faced difficulties and struggled at some points, but still, they have maintained their overall position, dropping only one place to P9. Joan and the Harley team are at the camp, fine-tuning the Pan America again and preparing for the upcoming stages, which will become increasingly complex and tough. STAGES 3, 4 & 5 Fort Chacal to Dakhla. It's a long but very fast stage, with sandy tracks prevailing. Joan and the team have had to be very mindful of fuel consumption, knowing when to ease off the speed to make it to the refuelling point. A rest day means the team is going through all the screws and bolts of the Pan America, getting it ready for the stages in Mauritania. STAGES 6 & 7 - Mauritania Challenging terrain, long stretches of soft sand with complex navigation and more dunes. Joan Pedrero and his Pan America 1250 finished 16th; now 13th overall. Today has brought a fuel pump issue, probably due to the poor quality of the local fuel. Mechanics are disassembling and cleaning the pump to fully understand what happened. The standings are unclear after this. STAGEs 8 & 9 Chami to Amodjar. 478km to reach Amodjar in the heart of Mauritania. Sandy dunes + high temperatures, make it a very tough stage. Joan experienced a tire blowoutand had to act quickly to continue to the finish. Due to the penalty from the previous stage, he finished in 23rd position. Stage 9: Amodjar. 466 km and one of the toughest stages for Joan and the Pan America. Around kilometer 160, Joan had a fall. Nevertheless, he managed to recover and reach the finish, a bit sore but content - one stage less until reaching Dakar. Despite the fall, Joan finishes in 9th position, once again reclaiming a spot in the top 10. STAGES 10 & 11 Stage 10: Chami - Akjoujt - a very tough stage; Joan Pedrero and other riders faced issues with the local fuel. The fuel pump started to fail, forcing Joan to reducespeed in order to complete the stage. Joan finishes in 14th position. Stage 11: Akjoujt -Nuakchot. The last stage in Mauritania and the prelude to the grand finale in Dakar. Joan encounters numerous difficulties with the high dunes - getting stuck five times - but manages to maintain 14th position. The entire team is delighted, looking forward to celebrating tomorrow at the symbolic stage in Dakar, marking the end of this adventure. STAGE 12 - Dakar The Africa Eco Race challenge - done. Joan Pedrero and the Pan America arrive safely at Lac Rose in Dakar. Excitement and celebration take centre stage as they have successfully completed the challenge to the very end. Joan's final position is 24th, although he and the entire team assert that reaching the finish line was the sole objective, making it a victory for them. Well done Joan! An epic adventure of man & Pan America.

Find out everything you need to know about CE marking CE marking is present on many products, but what does it mean? Well, the letters 'CE' appear on products that are traded on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking is required for products as it shows the manufacturer has checked that the products meet EU safety, health or environmental requirements. As well as this, its also an indicator of EU legislation and ensures validity for the product to be sold throughout the EEA. Why does my riding gear have CE approved on it? Motorcycle gear, including protective clothing and helmets, often have CE approved labels to ensure they meet these standards and provide sufficient protection to the wearer. CE certification is a legal requirement for many types of protective equipment sold in the EEA, including motorcycle gear. The certification process involves testing the product according to specific standards, and if it meets the requirements, it is issued a CE mark. When it comes to motorcycle gear, the CE mark indicates that the gear has been tested and meets specific safety standards for protective equipment. For example, CE-approved motorcycle jackets and trousers are tested for abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and seam strength to ensure they provide adequate protection to the rider in case of a fall or accident. What is CE approved at Iron City Motorcycles? Our riding gear is labelled CE approved in-store and online. When you see the CE marking on our products it indicates that the product has been tested and meets specific safety standards required in the EEA, providing you with added confidence in the protection by the riding gear.

The motor group which operates Stockton Kia as well as Leeds and Gateshead Harley-Davidson will be following in the footsteps of former Managing Director the late Dr Nas Khan OBE, who was widely recognised for his charitable efforts throughout the North East as well as Pakistan. Sohail Khan, Managing Director of Iron City Motorcycles, commented We are thrilled to be working with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance again this year, this charity is incredibly close to our hearts as well as our customers, friends and colleagues. The Covid-19 has had a detrimental impact on all businesses and charities, but the YAA rely solely on donations to keep the aircraft flying, which is why we are dedicated to helping to raise as much as we possibly can to help. Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a registered charity operating a dedicated helicopter emergency air ambulance for the Yorkshire and Humber region of England and currently operates two Airbus H145 aircraft. It is an independent charity that relies solely on the donations of individuals and organisations. Vickie Bowden, West Yorkshire Regional Fundraiser at YAA said: Were delighted to have been chosen as Leeds Harley Davidson charity of the year. Support from local businesses is vital to Yorkshire Air Ambulance in providing much-needed awareness and funds. Were looking forward to working together over the coming year. We are very much looking forward to working with YAA with fundraising activities and events continuing throughout the year at Leeds Harley-Davidson and as lockdown restrictions lift, extending to wider community involvement.

Harley-Davidson identifies its motorcycles with a specific model name that falls into a specific family. The FLH model has had three major changes over time, the Hydra-Glide, Duo-Glide and Electra Glide. In the mid 1960s Harley-Davidson needed to fight back from Japanese and English imports. It had three models in the range, two Sportster versions and the Duo Glide. Harley needed to join the high-tech party due to an abundance of Japanese examples. In 1965, the kick starter was replaced with an electric starter on the Duo Glide and the Electra Glide was born. Modifications to the frame were required due to the new the electric starter needing a 12-volt battery. With this came the redesign of the oil tank which was then moved to the left-hand side of the bike. The 1965 Electra Glide had a Turnpike fuel tank and was named as one of the most notable Harleys ever. In 1966 Harley-Davidson replaced the Panhead engine on all Electra-Glide models with the Shovelhead V-twin. The name was given due to the shape of its rocker covers resembling the up-turned blade of a shovel. The Shovelhead saw Harley-Davidson through until 1984. The 1969 Electra Glide brought us the iconic fork-mounted batwing fairing. It was a removable option due to it not having the speedometer or any other electrical elements mounted in it. From the factory it would have white-wall tyres and chrome-plated oval ham-can air filter. The 1969 Electra Glide is still seen to be a classic and its making a comeback. On the 26th of April at 4pm, Harley-Davidson announced the first Icon Collections Motorcycle. The New Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival is now for sale. With only 1500 units made worldwide and 30 coming to the UK, don't miss the chance to own a part of Harley-Davidson history.

FIT - Your helmet is loose or worn in. DAMAGE - There are visible scratches, cracks or dents. IMPACT - Your helmet endured an impact. AGE - Your helmet is 3-5 years old. Open Face Helmet Full Face Helmet Flip Front Helmet The safest helmet is the one that fits you best. At Iron City Motorcycles we want to make sure you are safe whenever you hit the open road. The glues, resins and other materials used in the making of a helmet can lose their effectiveness over time and the lining starts to deteriorate. You can prolong your helmet if you store it properly. When youre not using it simply keep it in a cool, dry place and store it inside the helmet bag in which it came in. The outside of the helmet doesn't deteriorate, it's the inside foam and the fabric lining. Frequent use, sweating and greasy hair from different hair products are a few factors that can speed up the deterioration process. A way to combat this is using helmet liner or balaclavas.

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.ironcitymotorcycles.co.uk/news/gateshead-harley-davidsonannounce-charity-of-the-year-as-great-north-air-ambulance Following in his footsteps, Iron City Motorcycles announce Charity of the year as GNAAS Iron City Motorcycles, formerly a part of Jennings Motor Group has announced their charity of the year as The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS). The motor group which operates Stockton Kia as well as Leeds and Gateshead Harley-Davidson will be following in the footsteps of former Managing Director the late Dr Nas Khan OBE, who was widely recognised for his charitable efforts throughout the North East as well as Pakistan. Sohail Khan, Managing Director of Iron City Motorcycles, commented We are overjoyed to be supporting such an honourable charity as the Great North Air Ambulance Service again, this time as Iron City Motorcycles. The Covid-19 crisis has hit all of us incredibly hard, but the GNAAS rely on charitable donations to continue saving lives, which is why we are so dedicated to raising as much as we possibly can, through various activities and events for this fantastic cause. GNAAS is a registered charity operating a dedicated helicopter emergency service for the North of England, including the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, and the Scottish borders. The non-government funded charity operates 4 aircraft out of their bases at Langwathby, Urlay Nook, Eaglescliffe and Newcastle International Airport. Leya Baksh, corporate fundraising officer at GNAAS said: We are delighted to have Iron City Motorcycles supporting our charity again. Having worked with them in the past we know just how committed they are to supporting local charities. To have them choose to fundraise for us again is fantastic! Were looking forward to seeing what activities the team get involved with this year, and they can feel proud knowing that the money they raise will help our critical care team continue to deliver world-class pre-hospital care to those in need. Fundraising efforts will be kicked off by 4 of the vehicle technicians at Stockton Kia, James Warnock, Tom Donninson, David Soulsby, and Matthew Wright who will take part in the GNAAS Race to the Base challenge. The team will complete the challenge on bike by riding 130 miles in the month of March, the distance it takes from the RVI Hospital in Newcastle to both of the charities airbases and back again. A dedicated JustGiving page has been set up for this challenge and can be found HERE. James Warnock, Vehicle Technician and MOT Tester said The four of us are delighted to be taking part in The Race to the Base. We have all been making a conscious effort to get out on our bikes more, what better motivation is there than to raise much-needed funds for a fantastic charity. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. We are very much looking forward to working with GNAAS with fundraising activities and events continuing throughout the year at Iron City Motorcycles and as lockdown restrictions lift, extending to wider community involvement.

By April 2021 we will see an eBicycle launched from Serial 1 Cycle Company. The new business was helped by the product development centre and comes from the nickname of the oldest known Harley-Davidson motorcycle from 1903, Serial Number One. After several years of hinting and prototypes being released from the Motor Company, we are starting to get an idea of the future eBike. Prototypes were seen at the EICMA Milan motorcycle show in 2019 and now Harley-Davidson sub-brand, Serial 1 Cycle Company, will be the ones to launch it in Spring 2021. Exact performance details are being kept quiet ahead of the official launch, but images have been released. The ebike has been treated to a glossy paint job, brown leather saddle, disc braking and chunky tires. The battery is housed within the welded metal frame. We are still waiting for more information to be revealed about this Harley-Davidson powered motorcycle, but for now, take a look at this video introducing the eBicycle. Wed, 28 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ironcitymotorcycles.co.uk/news/top-5-places-to-ride-in-the-north A wise man once said that "all things in the North are devilish". And by all accounts, we agree. The North of England is legendary for its motorcycling routes and offers a bit of everything. It's biking nirvana. You're riding the sweeping curves of a dramatic countryside landscape, vast swathes of greenery to boot. Life is good. So top up your tank. Here are the top 5 places to ride in the North of England. Pickering to Whitby The A169 route to Whitby is iconic and gives you a glorious run across the North Yorkshire Moors. You'll be treated to some spectacular colour changes throughout the year as the seasons change. Think steady climbs and a tight hairpin turn as you make your way towards the A171, where you'll turn right. Once you've hit your destination, be sure to mark the occasion with fish and chips in view of Whitby's commanding abbey. Maybe you'll even see Dracula.. Haydon Bridge to Penrith This ride has been titled "Britain's greatest road" by MCN. The cornering is impossible to beat - hairpin after hairpin promises a buzz that you need to experience for yourself. You'll be navigating these switchbacks to Cupola Bridge before ascending to the top of the moor. The road surface here is decent and makes for a pleasurable journey to Alston, where you can make a stop for a bite to eat (and fuel). There's top-notch scenery before you begin the descent to Penrith. Perhaps your new favourite road? Skelwith Bridge to Gosforth Drink in some of the finest scenery in the Lake District on this wild ride. Following the A593 towards Coniston, you'll come across a right turn for the famous Wrynose Pass. Rugged crags and rocky contours devour the track as you conquer the first summit. Making your way down to Cockley Beck, you'll then have a steep climb to the top of Hardknott Pass. The views here are almost heroic. The rear of the way over to Eskdale is equally demanding, so ride safe and enjoy. Northumberland Castle Loop This ride takes you past the most breathtaking castles in Northumberland. Starting in Alnwick, you'll head to the coast with the North Sea over your right shoulder. As you pass through Shoreston Hall, the Bamburgh Castle will appear against the skyline, towering over the water. On this loop you'll also see Warkworth Castle as well as the magical (and wizard-famous) Alwnick Castle. It's an impressive route that encompasses the "Northumberland Coast Area of Natural Beauty". Middleton-in-Teesdale to Brough A good alternative to the Dales. Expect some great corners and stretches of straight road, but be prepared for bumpy terrain in some places which makes it a little tricky. Fantastic views along the way and generally a quiet area. Watch out for the sheep near Brough! Tue, 13 Oct 2020 00:00:00 BST
