Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson used X Games Aspen today to unveil two new motorcycles as part of its 2016 model-year lineup.
“X Games Aspen is the ideal global stage to unveil our newest motorcycles that take cruiser performance, attitude and design to a whole new level,” vice president of marketing and brand Shelley Paxton said.
The company described the Low Rider S model as “raw, dark and trimmed to the essentials” and said it is the most powerful non-custom vehicle operations Dyna cruiser the company has offered. The Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather performance intake and Fat Bob-style 2-into-2 exhaust deliver 115 foot pounds of peak torque at 3,500 rpm. It also comes with premium suspension and brakes.
The limited-edition CVO Pro Street Breakout has “obsessive attention to styling detail,” the company said, describing it as a new, darker look with cutting-edge finishes and textures.
The company is set to report earnings tomorrow for the fourth quarter of 2015. In October, the company reported that retail sales were down 1.4 percent worldwide for the year and reduced guidance on the number it expected to ship to between 265,000 and 270,000.
