Harley-Davidson FLTRXSE CVO Road Glide Custom 2012 — Specifications

With its Heavy Breather air intake system, the CVO Road Glide Custom twin exudes a dragster-inspired vibe. However, that is not its purpose, even though there are nearly 100 horsepower in the connecting rods and a generous helping of torque (more than 16 mkg). The ideal of the Twin Cam 110 is to powerfully and emotionally propel this cruiser with its unique style. The Shark-nose headlamp is not fixed to the steering column (as on the Electra models) but to the chassis itself, thus lightening the steering. Produced in 2100 units, the Road Glide Custom pampered by Custom Vehicle Operations is flamboyant to the eye and scorching to the wallet. Expect a check for 38,000 euros…
