ALL-NEW T
A NEW ENGINE IN AN ALL-NEW CHASSIS o celebrate its 115th anniversary year, Harley-Davidson has launched eight allnew Softail models. The new bikes feature a stiffer and significantly lighter frame built for the torque of the new dual-counterbalanced Milwaukee-Eight 107 and 114 engines. The bikes also come with a high-performance front suspension and an adjustable hidden rear monoshock, replacing the aged and untunable pull shocks of past Softails. These upgraded 2018 Softail models are 65-percent stiffer, substantially lighter, and from what the MoCo says, they’re better handling than any of this model’s predecessors. We will be road testing all of these new Softails real soon and will let you know our thoughts on them. So stay tuned! HB
