arley-Davidson is cel-
ebrating its 115th anniver-
sary by launching eight
new Softail models. Harley says
the new Softails "merge the
hard-riding performance of the
Dyna line with the unparalleled
custom look of the Softail line."
The new Softails, Harley
says, feature stiffer and signifi-
cantly lighter frames to "harness
the pulse-quickening torque of
the new dual-counterbalanced
Milwaukee-Eight 107 and 114
engines." Harley claims that
the 2018 Softail models are
faster, lighter and better han-
dling than any of their Big Twin
cruiser predecessors.
"The new Softail models are
the result of the most exten-
sive research and develop-
ment program in the compa-
ny's history," said Paul James,
manager of product portfolio,
Harley-Davidson. "Thousands
of hours of research and test-
ing were put into the complete
ground-up design of these
new cruisers. We focused on
taking the total rider experi-
ence to a higher level, where
authenticity, heritage and soul
meet the modern edge of
technology for a ride that must
be felt to believe."
