Harley-Davidson goes ‘Further, Faster’ with a Look at Things to Come
Wisconsin legend reveals new Street Glide ST, Road Glide ST, Low Rider ST, and tons of new goodies for customers in 2022.
Jochen Zeitz, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson seemed proud to present the MoCo’s aspirations for 2022 on the official H-D YouTube channel. Zeitz and his hard working staff revealed the new bikes and toys in an online event called “Further, Faster,” and its certainly worth the watch. Last year, Harley-Davidson launched the Pan America and Sportster S. This year, the MoCo is looking to push things a little further.
Performance Baggers From the Factory
Thankfully, 2022 is going to see the release of the new Road Glide ST and Street Glide ST. The bikes will feature higher-slung postures, new wheels, and bronze accents reminiscent of the Low Rider S. The designers assert that the aggressive ride heights are intended to give customers an out-of-the-box performance bagger.
Furthermore, customers can enhance their ST bikes with performance options like 131 ci Stage IV kits. Beyond that, Harley-Davidson has partnered with Öhlins suspension systems. The result of that partnership- factory Öhlins upgrades for the ST performance baggers.
Low Rider S New Paint; Low Rider ST New Family Member
Next, Harley-Davidson is adding to the successful Low Rider S line with an updated S and an all new ST. Both bikes are set to come from the factory with the 117 cubic-inch Milwaukee Eight engine and new ergonomics. The Low Rider S gets a relocated gauge and an optional hot-rod inspired grey paint scheme. Additionally, the Low Rider gets a new family member in the Low Rider ST.
The FXLRST is a performance bagger offering with Low Rider S DNA. That means lightweight removable bags raised two inches, and a custom fixed fairing on the new bike.
Bold Style Choices
Finally, the MoCo is excited to get back to its roots with new eye-popping paint offerings for 2022. CVO’s and other upper tier HD’s will see a resurgence of ghost flames and metallic two-tone schemes this year.
Designers are excited to get back to the ’70s inspired pallets, and the new CVO’s show for it. The creative minds at Harley-Davidson even partnered with Gunslinger to design the bold new looks.
So what else is there to expect from the Motor Company in the future? Harley-Davidson is hosting a riding challenge for the 120 year anniversary of the company. The MoCo will select 120 winners to attend the Homecoming Celebration in Milwaukee all expenses paid.
In addition to celebrating its tenure, Harley-Davidson is hoping to be just as successful in motorsport this year as last year. Finally, Jochen Zeitz hinted at a new arrival in the Sportster line, giving fans something else to be excited about.
