Overview

Introducing the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide Step into the world of luxury touring with the 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide, a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the spirit of the open road. Renowned for its iconic design and unparalleled comfort, the Ultra Classic is firmly positioned as one of the premier touring bikes in the Harley-Davidson lineup. With its rugged yet refined aesthetics, this machine is not just a motorcycle; it's a lifestyle choice for those who crave adventure without sacrificing the comforts of home. Whether you're embarking on a cross-country journey or a weekend getaway, the FLHTCU promises to deliver an experience that is as exhilarating as it is relaxing. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Ultra Classic is a powerful 1584cc V2, four-stroke engine that generates a robust 127 Nm (93.7 ft-lbs) of torque at 3500 RPM. This engine, with its 9.2:1 compression ratio, provides exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling ride that effortlessly tackles both city streets and open highways. The 6-speed gearbox ensures smooth gear transitions, making long-distance riding a breeze. Coupled with its air-cooled design and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), the FLHTCU offers a ride that is not only responsive but also efficient. With a weight of 400 kg (881 lbs) and a low center of gravity, this motorcycle instills confidence in riders as it glides through turns and straightaways, making it a favorite among touring enthusiasts. Key Features and Technology The 2010 Ultra Classic is replete with features designed for comfort and convenience. It boasts a “Batwing” fork-mounted fairing that not only adds to its classic aesthetic but also provides excellent wind protection. The adjustable fairing-mounted air deflectors further enhance the ride by allowing you to customize airflow. Comfort is paramount, with full-length, height-adjustable rider and passenger footboards, and a plush one-piece, two-up Electra Glide classic comfort seat, complete with a passenger backrest. Entertainment on the go is taken up a notch with the Harman-Kardon® Advanced Audio System, which includes an intercom and cruise control for those long stretches on the road. With features like ABS as standard and injection-moulded GTX® saddlebags, the Ultra Classic offers a blend of safety and practicality that is hard to match. **
