No matter what you need from the Sport Glide, it will provide and here at Crystal Harley-Davidson®, we’re proud to have it currently in our showroom. Stop by our location in Homosassa, Florida today to have an up-close look at this amazing new bike. We also serve the regions of Spring Hill, Inverness, Dunnellon, and Chiefland.
Redesigned Softail® Frame
The Sport Glide® is the latest addition to the Softail® family, one of the most beloved motorcycle lines from Harley-Davidson. Softail® bikes rely on hidden monoshock rear suspension. This means you get cleaner lines with superior handling. The Sport Glide takes this to the next level. Its frame is 34% stiffer than the previous Softail® model and significantly lighter. You’ll get a more responsive ride that keeps you in control, even around the hardest lines and the sharpest angles. But the light weight won’t slow you down when you need that power the most. The Sport Glide features high-performance suspension necessary for hauling extra cargo on long trips. Losing a little extra weight without losing the performance, that’s what you get with a Sport Glide.
Milwaukee-Eight® Engine
With an all-new bike comes an all-new engine. The Milwaukee-Eight® 107 engine is the latest Harley-Davidson feat of engineering, backed by over a century of experience. Spend a few seconds behind the throttle and you’ll feel the massive torque that’ll keep you glued to the road no matter where you are. Spend a few more seconds behind the throttle and you’ll see the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine responds faster to 0-60 mph and 60-80 mph. This electronically fuel injected V-Twin engine is completely counterbalanced to give you less whiplash-inducing vibration, but you won’t lose any of the signature Harley-Davidson® growl. It’s also slimmer to fit into the sleek profile of the Sport Glide, making it the perfect new engine for a perfect new bike.
Touring Ready
No matter what the day brings you, the Sport Glide is ready to accommodate your needs. This bike’s lightweight stature is perfect for cruising days, but it’s also more agile on the road which makes touring a bit easier. The mini-fairing keeps the harsh headwinds off your body and the low-vibration Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine makes for a smooth ride from start to finish. And if you need some extra cargo space for long trips, or just a little extra storage for busy days, the Sport Glide comes equipped with hard-side locking saddlebags to keep all your luggage and cargo safe. Need to slim down a bit? The saddlebags and mini-fairing are easily removable for days when you want to just hit the road and cruise.
Technology with Style
Finally, the Sport Glide features some of the most up-to-date motorcycle technologies on the market. This includes the LED forward-lighting system and keyless ignition. It also comes ready with the most popular styling features, such as blacked out Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, blacked out mufflers, and Mantis cast aluminum wheels.
The Sport Glide® is Harley-Davidson’s latest masterpiece in a long line of superior motorcycles. It’s the modern bike for the modern rider. Here at Crystal Harley-Davidson®, we’re excited to have it in our showroom and we’re ready to show it to you today. Stop by our location in Homosassa, serving the regions of Spring Hill, Inverness, Dunnellon, and Chiefland.
