Advanced Rideability
What’s the point of investing in a touring bike if it’s not going to provide a comfortable ride? Especially for those traveling long distances on their motorcycles, a comfortable ride is an absolute must. Harley-Davidson built the Road King Special with comfort in mind. They took the liberty of decking out this touring bike with all the modern comforts you could possibly dream of including a one-piece, two-up seat shaped with a deep contoured bucket that provides ample back support as well as narrower necks so you won’t get fatigued on long rides.
The riding position and seat are situated lower than you might expect so you’ll feel close to the road while still maintaining a confident riding stance. You’re guaranteed to have a solid grip with the mini-ape handlebars that allow you to sit taller and assert that aggressive stance on the road. A premium suspension with Showa Dual Bending valve technology and tool-free preload adjuster on the rear emulsion shocks make even the roughest roads feel like you’re riding on air. To make your trips even easier, you’ll have stretched saddlebags for a smooth look on the outside and spacious storage on the inside for all your essential riding gear. With all this added comfort, you’ll never want to get off your motorcycle.
Modern Performance
Every king is entitled to tremendous power and it goes without saying, you’ll have all that and more thanks to the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine. This epic powerhouse brings cool-running power to the Road King Special with crisp throttle response and an earth-shattering rumble. You’ll also get 111ft-lb of torque for an unbeatable mid- to high-end torque. Four valves on each cylinder head help wring out every ounce of power, torque, and performance from this incredible engine. This touring bike isn’t complete without the high-performing front and rear suspensions that’ll keep all that power tethered. Finally, Reflex LInked Brembo brakes with ABS standard connect the front and rear brakes electronically to apply the precise amount of braking power to each tire regardless of road conditions.
The Road King Special is a blend of classic taste with modern technology that makes this bike different from all the rest. You won’t find a more satisfying ride than this.
