A statement is what you make when you go out on a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide (CVO) . One of the best cruisers in the world and the best Harley on sale today the Ultra Classic Electra Glide is the flagship model for the most famous cruiser manufacturer in the world, Harley Davidson. The reason why Harley Davidson kept this model going for the last six years is evident with the launch of the new Ultra Classic Electra Glide – Heated, molded, and independently adjustable seats, Cruise control, ABS, Road Tech zumo 660 GPS navigation, an iPod nano, Audio High Performance System with Bagger Speakers and Audio Bass Booster ports,
High output charging ports, Heated grips, Remote power locking which means owners can lock or unlock the ignition, saddlebags and Tour-Pak luggage using the key fob. The fob is an important device to the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide as it also activates the Smart Security System and the bike won’t start unless the key fob is within range.
Meant for cruising the best bike Harley Davidson has to offer, sports an air-cooled 110 cubic-inch V-Twin which is rubber mounted and is very vibey at idle but settles into a lumping cadence at speed. The powerplant features Harley’s Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy where the rider can manually deactivate a cylinder to keep the air-cooled engine from running hot. The 110 on the CVO Ultra Classic was able to pick back up from a very low rpm without bogging down on an uphill hairpin turn. It has a high performance clutch, which helps the transmission engage a touch quieter and smoother. But finding Neutral, especially on the Ultra Classic, was difficult at times.
