Overview

Introducing the 2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide: The Pinnacle of Touring Luxury The 2020 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to premium touring motorcycles, blending high performance with unparalleled comfort and cutting-edge technology. Positioned within Harley's Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) lineup, this model is designed for those who refuse to compromise on style or substance. With its striking Sand Dune color option and an array of bespoke features, the CVO Road Glide is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement. Whether you’re embarking on a long cross-country journey or cruising through scenic backroads, this bike promises to deliver an exceptional experience tailored to the discerning rider. At the heart of the CVO Road Glide lies the powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, boasting a robust displacement of 1923 cc (117.34 cubic inches). This formidable V2, four-stroke engine produces 105 horsepower at 5250 RPM and an impressive torque of 171 Nm (126.1 ft-lbs) at 3750 RPM, ensuring a thrilling yet smooth acceleration. The well-tuned 6-speed gearbox paired with a belt final drive offers seamless shifts and enhances the riding experience on any terrain. Coupled with an oil and air cooling system, the engine maintains optimal performance over long distances, while a respectable fuel consumption rate of 6.20 liters/100 km keeps the journey going without frequent stops. The CVO Road Glide is not just about power; it’s also about the riding experience. Its sophisticated suspension system features a telescopic fork in the front and twin shocks in the rear, providing exceptional handling and comfort even on bumpy roads. The bike's 26-degree rake and 170 mm trail contribute to its stability and cornering confidence. Safety is paramount, with double disc ABS brakes in the front and a single disc ABS brake at the rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. Additional features such as an electric starter, ample 22.71-liter (6.00 gallons) fuel capacity, and a low seat height of 680 mm (26.8 inches) make the CVO Road Glide an inviting choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. **
