Overview

Introducing the 2012 Harley-Davidson FLTRXSE CVO Road Glide Custom The 2012 Harley-Davidson FLTRXSE CVO Road Glide Custom stands as a testament to the brand's relentless pursuit of performance and style. Positioned within the Custom Cruiser category, this motorcycle embodies the essence of the open road, merging the classic Harley aesthetic with modern innovations. The CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) badge signifies a commitment to exclusivity and premium craftsmanship, making the FLTRXSE not just a motorcycle, but a statement of individuality. With its striking design and impressive specifications, it appeals to riders who seek both comfort and a powerful ride during their journeys. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the FLTRXSE is a robust 1802.69 ccm V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a staggering torque of 165.43 Nm at 3750 RPM. This means not only does it produce exhilarating acceleration, but it also ensures smooth cruising at highway speeds. The 6-speed gearbox paired with an electronic sequential port fuel injection (ESPFI) system provides seamless shifts and optimal fuel efficiency, allowing riders to enjoy long-distance travels without the worry of frequent stops. With a compression ratio of 9.2:1 and a well-engineered bore and stroke of 101.6 x 111.3 mm, the FLTRXSE’s engine performance is both powerful and responsive, giving riders the confidence to tackle any terrain. The bike’s moderate weight of 366.1 kg (807.0 pounds) combined with a low seat height of 676 mm (26.6 inches) enhances its maneuverability and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of riders. Key Features and Technology The FLTRXSE CVO Road Glide Custom is not just about raw power; it also embraces advanced technology and exquisite design. The motorcycle comes equipped with a sophisticated braking system, featuring ABS-enabled double disc brakes in the front and a single disc in the rear, ensuring maximum stopping power and safety. The frame design, constructed from mild steel with a two-piece backbone, is engineered for durability while providing a smooth ride. The bike’s aesthetic appeal is enhanced by injection-molded, extended hard saddlebags and a color-matched rear fascia with LED brake and turn lights, offering both functionality and style. Riders can choose from bold color options, including White Gold Pearl with Starfire Black and Candy Cobalt with Twilight Blue, ensuring that their motorcycle is as unique as they are. **
