HARLEY-DAVIDSON has announced a new Low Rider model for 2014.
A release from the firm said: 'The iconic Low Rider returns to the Harley-Davidson line-up after a five-year hiatus with timeless custom cruiser styling and enhanced performance. An innovative ergonomic design –informed by the same customer-led development used to drive Project RUSHMORE – provides a perfect fit for a broad range of riders.
'With a seat height of just 680mm, the Low Rider still lives up to its name. In addition, Harley-Davidson has leveraged the science of ergonomics to develop a “perfect fit” rider position using three key features: a two-position seat, adjustable handlebar riser and footpegs that are relocated two inches (51mm) forward.
'Its defiant attitude remains, but the new Low Rider responds with assertive authority to rider input; the unrelenting thrust of its Twin Cam 103 powertrain harnessed in an agile Harley-Davidson Dyna® chassis. Michelin® Scorcher™ tyres are mated with suspension calibrated for all-day comfort and precise handling, while dual-front disc brakes deliver capable stopping power.
'A polished headlamp visor and wrinkle black trim are touchstone styling elements from the original Low Rider model, while ample Genuine Motor Accessories offer endless possibilities for self-expression.'
