The All-New 2018 Harley-Davidson® Sport Glide®
This Fall, Harley-Davidson® released its latest addition to the Softail® family, the all-new 2018 Harley-Davidson Sport Glide. The Sport Glide was built for the rider who needs their bike to do a little bit of everything: commuting, touring, style, power, whatever you need from your motorcycle, the Sport Glide offers the versatility. You’ll get the power you’d expect from a touring engine with the laid-back ride of a cruiser. Not to mention, the Sport Glide comes with a brand new engine. And here at Biggs Harley-Davidson, we have the Sport Glide, ready for you to check out for yourself and take for a test ride. Stop by our location in San Marcos, California today. We also serve the regions of San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Poway, Rancho Santa Fe, and San Luis Rey, California.
Redesigned Softail® Frame
The Sport Glide is the latest addition to the Softail family, one of Harley-Davidson’s most beloved line of motorcycles. This means you’ll get the classic Softail features with a few extra bonuses. Softail motorcycles rely on hidden monoshock rear suspension for cleaner lines and better handling. You’ll also get the distinctive Softail look that you can customize to fit your style.
The Sport Glide adds a few things to the class Softail bike. It has a 34% stiffer frame than previous Softail models and it’s much, much lighter. This means you’ll have a bike that’s more responsive when the going gets tough, like around hard lines and sharp corners, and you’ll still stay in total control. But don’t let the lightweight fool you. Because of high-performance suspension, you won’t lose momentum or control when you add on extra weight for your touring adventures.
Milwaukee-Eight® Engine
As promised, we’ve included a brand new engine for a brand new bike, the Milwaukee-Eight® 107 engine. With over a century of engineering and riding experience packed into this engine, the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine is an electronically fuel injected V-Twin engine built to keep your bike roaring and tearing down the road. It provides massive torque and responds faster from 0-60 mph and 60-80 mph. It’s also completely counterbalanced so you’ll have minimal vibration without losing any of that Harley® growl. Plus, it’s slimmer profile makes it a perfect fit for the sleeker Sport Glide. It’s the engine to perfectly match this versatile bike.
Touring Ready
More interested in the Sport Glide’s versatility? This bike is made for the modern rider who needs something to get them to work everyday while still being able to haul them around for weekend rides and short vacations. Its light weight makes it easier to handle in the city and more agile on the long road. The mini-fairing keeps the hard, freeway winds off your body to keep you more refreshed no matter how long you’ve been riding and the low-vibration engine makes your ride smoother than you would ever believe. The Sport Glide also comes with hard-side locking saddlebags to accommodate any extra cargo you may need, whether it be the essentials on your way to the next state over or an extra pair of clothes for work. But if you need to slim down for cruising, the saddlebags and the mini-fairing are both removable. No matter what you need from the Sport Glide, it’ll step up to the challenge.
Technology with Style
Finally, what would a Harley-Davidson bike be without the latest gear and the latest look? The Sport Glide comes equipped with the latest in motorcycle technology, including the LED forward-lighting system and keyless ignition. And to make sure you’re not driving your grandpa’s bike, the Sport Glide is tricked out with awesome style features, like blacked out Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, Mantis cast aluminum wheels, and sharp exhaust pipes. Trust us, you’ll love riding this bike.
The Sport Glide is Harley-Davidson’s improvement to their already classic lineup of motorcycles. It’s truly one of their best works yet and Biggs Harley-Davidson® is excited to give you the opportunity to view it up close. Stop by our location in San Marcos, California and check it out, or test ride the Sport Glide today.
