Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low, a quintessential touring motorcycle that embodies the spirit of long-distance riding. Designed for enthusiasts who crave both comfort and style, this bike is a perfect blend of iconic Harley-Davidson aesthetics and modern engineering. With a starting price of $24,699, it stands out in the premium touring segment, offering a plush ride that is both exhilarating and relaxing for both rider and passenger alike. The Electra Glide is tailored for those who appreciate the open road, making it an ideal choice for weekend getaways or cross-country adventures. At the heart of this magnificent machine is a powerful 1687.97 ccm V2, four-stroke engine, delivering a robust 87 HP at 5100 RPM and a formidable torque of 138 Nm at just 3250 RPM. This impressive powertrain, combined with a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, ensures smooth acceleration and effortless cruising, even when fully loaded with gear. The Electra Glide's sophisticated oil and air cooling system, along with electronic sequential port fuel injection, not only enhances performance but also contributes to a fuel efficiency of approximately 42.00 mpg (5.60 litres/100 km). The bike’s handling is equally commendable, with a rake of 26.0° and a trail of 170 mm, offering stability and confidence on winding roads or open highways. The Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low is packed with features designed to enhance the touring experience. Its low seat height of 27.0 inches ensures accessibility for riders of various statures, while the well-designed chassis and suspension system—featuring a telescopic front fork and twin shocks in the rear—provide a smooth and comfortable ride. Advanced technology such as ABS brakes, cruise control, and an optional alarm system add layers of safety and convenience. Moreover, riders can enjoy an array of stunning color options, from the classic Vivid Black to the vibrant Cosmic Blue Pearl, allowing for personalized expression on the road. **
