New CVO Street Glide is a genuine hot-rod bagger
(7/25/2009)
-
The 2010 CVO Street Glide is a tuned-up, tricked-out version of the popular
Harley-Davidson hot-rod bagger. Powered by the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110, the
CVO Street Glide packs serious power from the largest-displacement V-Twin engine
offered from the factory by Harley-Davidson. But this potent touring bike is
also loaded with the sparkling chrome, electrifying paint and fresh
custom-styling ideas that have defined the CVO program for more than a decade.
The CVO Street Glide presents a low-and-lean profile behind a fork-mounted
“batwing” fairing with a smoke low profile wind deflector and solo headlamp, a
clean front fender, and hard extended saddlebags with color-matched latches. The
CVO Street Glide is built on the innovative Touring chassis introduced by
Harley-Davidson in 2009, based on a single-spar, rigid b
ackbone
frame and a new swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring
riders and today’s more-powerful engines.
Key CVO Street Glide Features
- Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine with 110-cid (1803cc), rubber-mounted
to the frame, is rated at 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 3750 rpm. The 6-speed
Cruise Drive transmission features a new helical-cut fifth gear.
- New extended saddlebags are a one-piece, injection-molded, full-depth
design that offer increased capacity. Locking latches are color-matched.
