OverviewEdit
Harley-Davidson FLHTCUTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic
The Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic, which is basically a trike version of the two-wheeled Ultra Classic tourer.
Harley-Davidson launched a wheels-up strategy in the development of the Tri Glide, and has created a frame and associated chassis structure that is engineered specifically to handle the loads generated by the steering forces and weight of a three-wheel vehicle. Changes to the front-end geometry enhance steering control by reducing steering effort up to 25 percent. The forks have been lengthened by 1.775 inches compared to the regular Touring motorcycle, and rake is increased from 29.25 degrees to 32.00 degrees. A steer damper controls coast-down wobble, and minimizes bumps and other road inputs during turning events. Harley-Davidson has designed a new rear-axle assembly for the Tri Glide that utilizes an aluminum centre section with steel axle tubes. The Tri Glide retains the high-strength and low-maintenance advantages of belt final drive, and the smooth operation of a rubber-cushioned, compensated rear drive. The rear suspension features dual air-adjustable rear shock absorbers. The Tri Glide is powered by a Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), rated at 101 ft. lbs. of torque. It retains the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission used on Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles, but adds an optional electric reverse ($1,195) integrated with the rear differential assembly that is engaged with a handlebar-mounted reverse module. The Tri Glide has dual front disc brakes and a Hayes Brake dual-disc rear brake system with a lever-actuated, integrated park brake. Classic Harley-Davidson Styling The Harley-Davidson styling department gave the new body components of the Tri Glide clean lines that integrate with the existing Ultra bodywork, especially the Tour Pak luggage compartment and the passenger seating area. The new bodywork is painted with the same quality OEM paint and process used on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and is a perfect color match for the tank and front fender. The composite rear fenders complement the lines of the front fender. Because the rear fenders are each a separate piece from the rest of the rear bodywork, they can be removed individually for repair or replacement, or when required to service the Tri Glide.
The moulded-composite trunk provides 4.5 cubic feet of storage
space and can be accessed through a rear hatch. The trunk and Tour Pak have a
combined capacity of 6.56 cubic feet and are rated to carry up to 80 pounds. A
single key will handle all luggage locking functions, and activate the ignition.
Dual mufflers with tapered end caps exit below the trunk. Brake/tail/turn lights
are located on each fender, and the Tri Glide retains the Tour Pak lighting used
on the Ultra Classic, including the LED side running lights. Matching front and
rear black and machined split seven-spoke cast aluminum wheels provide the Tri
Glide its integrated and true, factory-built look. The 16-inch front wheel is
three inches wide and carries a MT90B16 motorcycle tire, while the 15-inch rear
wheels are five inches wide and are fitted with P205/65R15 tires.
Forward of the rear wheels, the Tri Glide retains the style
and features of the Ultra Classic Electra Glide, including the distinctive bat
wing fairing, auxiliary driving lamps, and deep-skirted front fender. A
low-profile chrome console tops a six-gallon fuel tank. The fairing holds
complete instrumentation and the 80-watt Advanced Audio System with CB radio and
passenger intercom system. Adjustable air deflectors on the fairing and vented
fairing lowers allow the rider to control wind flow for comfort in warm or cool
weather. Cruise control is standard equipment.
The Tri Glide Ultra Classic will be offered three colors:
Vivid Black, Dark Blue Pearl, and Red Hot Sunglo.
