BIGGER, BOLDER, BETTER
As part of Harley-Davidson’s “Further, Faster” theme for their 2022 model range, the Softail lineup has been given some tweaks. Some are more significant than others, but one in particular will be most welcome…
For the 2022 Softail (aka Cruising) family, Harley-Davidson have made the usual colour changes and added some new tank badging, options and accessories, but the key change is that two members of the family are now fitted with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine as standard.
Previously exclusive to the CVO range, the 117 is now available on two members of Harley’s Touring range, the Street Glide ST and Road Glide ST, as well as the Low Rider S and all-new Low Rider ST models in the Softail family.
As applied to these two Softails, the Milwaukee-Eight 117 offers listed maximums of 77kW at 4750rpm and 169Nm at 3500rpm. This is an increase on the (approx.) 74.5kW and 161Nm maximums offered on the Milwaukee-Eight 114 which was previously the largest engine available for any Harley outside the CVO range.
