Motorcycle specifications Harley-DavidsonCVO 1920 Limited FLHTKSE 2020 Touring's one-upmanship... and more

never before has a Harley Touring offered so much. Luxury, the open road, CVO excellence, and a new dimension of panache with the addition of a promising engine.
The Milwaukee Eight is enormous, and shows off all its superb qualities in this CVO 1920 Limited. This is the biggest ever version of this powerplant, and it's even bigger than when it was introduced in 2017 - that year, it was the 114 block, or 1868 cm3, that took its place. In order to maintain a very upmarket and privileged status in the range, Harley decided to provide it with even more volume. The CVO now boasts a displacement of 1923 cm3. Called 117, it spits out 16.9, more than 1 mkg more than its 110 predecessor; anecdotally, it has gained 3 hp and 0.1 mkg since the 114. Performance-wise, it claims to be 8% faster from 0 to 100 km/h, and 12% faster from 100 to 130 km/h than the Twin Cam 110 Scream'in Eagle.

always a little more; sometimes on the engine side, 2020 on the electronics side. This is where the RDRS and H-D Connect duo come in. Sounds barbaric, but in fact, the rider is the focus of these systems. RDRS, which stands for Reflex Defensive Rider Systems, combines cornering-sensitive ABS, coupled front/rear braking that reacts to cornering angle, engine torque-actuated anti-dribble, traction control (with 'Standard' and 'Rain' modes) that can be deactivated, tire pressure monitoring and a vehicle hold control that "holds" the brakes on demand with the right hand.
With H-D Connect, we enter the realm of apps. This app enables a smartphone to communicate with the CVO Limited, providing it with a whole range of information (fuel, range, mileage, battery, maintenance, etc.), warnings if it takes a shock, and the ability to follow it if someone is stealing it.
While RDRS is installed natively, H-D Connect will require a subscription after a year's use. For around 14 euros a month.

Suspensions have recently been upgraded. Harley bought an SDBV fork from Showa for greater performance and consistency. The rear shock absorbers abandon air technology for a tried-and-tested emulsion. Preload is extended from 15% to 30% with a single hydraulic adjustment knob. No more need for tools and pumps to adjust rear damping, which is also claimed to be very stable over time.

this is no longer a ship or a queen, but an empress of the road. Imposing in size, quality, equipment, price and vocation, the CVO 1920 Limited combines many of the superlatives of its microcosm.

The Electra 1745 Limited already provided plenty to make us salivate, especially since the evolution of the Rushmore project. So it's only logical that the CVO should be equipped with a revised Batwing fairing with central air intake, BOOM GTS multimedia station with GPS, touchscreen and USB playback, good-quality passenger seat, Reflex coupled ABS, Daymaker headlights, improved panniers and Pak tour, cruise control, heated grips, One-Touch locking of various components... Don't waste any more.

That's not enough for you... I agree. Given the stifling price tag, you're entitled to expect more. Like the high-quality paintwork; or the heated seat with dual controls; or the polished black chrome and chrome Slicer wheels, the LED lights, a selection of fine parts taken from the Harley catalog - The Kahuna collection offers on-board: gear selector, brake pedal cover, muffler tips, heated grips and rider and passenger footrests. - and the BOOM multimedia center, which offers a number of exclusive features only available on this CVO Limited. The GPS offers 3D landmarks, 3D drawings, and three software updates over five years - the amplifier outputs 75 watts instead of 25 per channel, and 16 GB of storage are available in the Jukebox. A word about the Boom Box GTS: a serious update makes this infotainment station simpler, more intuitive and far more efficient. Harley announces 10 seconds to launch the system, faster route calculation, higher screen resolution and contrast, and software enrichment with Apple CarPlay.

a surplus of equipment was invited in 2016, with the appearance of tire pressure control, which can be checked at any time on the dashboard. A transponder key replaced the two remote controls, and the turn signals are LED. The pilot seat was revised in 2017 for greater comfort.

Totally unreasonable, absolutely intoxicating, equipped with the luxury worthy of Swiss watches and MoCo's standard-bearer, the CVO 1920 Limited and its majestic Milwaukee Eight 117 take the crew far beyond the journey.
