The two premium 2023 models from the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) range will make their debut in Malaysia on 21 October, 2023 during the Open House event, which will be held at all dealerships in Malaysia till 22 October.
The new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models showcase advanced technology, enhanced rider comfort and dynamic performance propelled by the powerful new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 engine.
Exclusive and dramatic new visual designs present a transformative revision of the Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring platform.
The bragging rights of riding a motorcycle powered by the new Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 powertrain are exclusive to owners of the 2023 CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models.
This 121-cubic-inch 45-degree V-Twin engine establishes a new benchmark for factory-installed torque and displacement available in a Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycle – 8% more torque and 9.5% more horsepower than the Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine – while further improving thermal comfort for the rider and producing an intoxicating exhaust tone.
The Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121 is equipped with a number of new features, including optimized liquid-cooled cylinder heads with a new cooling system, variable valve timing (VVT), and a new intake tract.
A single counter-balancer is tuned to cancel undesirable vibration.
