The Ultra Limited never tires of evolving, always offering more, bathing in delicious motorcycling sufficiency. It is the border before the CVO tourer, after the desire to travel the countries, between the road and the time. Ultra Limited doesn’t think of half measures in the definition of travel. And since Harley can’t deny her anything, what better way to power this ship than a huge engine? New generation? With what to upset some conventions? The Milwaukee Eight will handle this task. Without going into too much detail, let us point out the big evolutions of this 9th generation twin. The MoCo has offered itself a unit capable of offering much more effort while passing increasingly drastic standards, those of tomorrow and even further. With 4 valves per cylinder, dual ignition, partially liquid cooling, a balance shaft absorbing 75% of vibrations at idle, better gas flow and much more displacement than the Twin Cam, the M8 changes the size of the engines.

The power ? In the upper echelons of the history of the Big Block. In 2019, the mechanical organ goes from 107 to 114 ci. Except in the CVO range, we cannot find bigger, fatter, more greedy than this twin. Question power, the maximum does not move, announced at 90 horses. But this value is obtained earlier in the turns. The couple benefited the most, climbing from 15.5 to 16.7 mkg. And just above 3000 rpm. A bear force fitting perfectly with the majesty of this liner.

2020 Harley-Davidson 1870 Ultra Limited FLHTK The kind of machine that every owner never tires of contemplating. One eye to admire her, the other to watch her. Harley now offers something to soothe both eyes. Since 2020, we can be warned of the slightest shock or an attempted remote kidnapping. The H-D Connect service allows you to have attentive attention on this sumptuous tourer from your smartphone; and this anywhere as long as there is a network. The app also lets you know a lot of information such as range, odometer, battery charge, updates for the Boom Box, fuel level, maintenance notifications, etc. … A further step in connectivity, as electronic systems invade the dynamics of the Limited.

Let’s go back to the Milwaukee Eight, patient but certain in its desire to send its almost 17 mkg in the gommard and the highways. Even if the customers of this type of machine hardly taste sporty driving, they can encounter delicate situations. Like a fat road where the big couple could become playful. With traction control, Harley brings an added sense of safety feeling and action. Two modes are assigned to it: ‘Standard’ when the road is dry and ‘Rain’ when the float shines. For purists, this C-TCS is disconnectable.
There are many other active modules in this touring. Unlike traction control, an anti-dribble is there to curb excessive force feedback from the rear wheel. The C-DSCS acts on the engine torque to equalize what the wheel returns and what the engine distributes. Let’s not miss the VHC, which maintains the braking as needed by the pilot, for a start in a slightly steep hill for example. There is also a TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, electronic brake synchronization coupled according to the C-ELB angle, and finally active ABS control in C-ABS curves. In short, a great reinforcement of piloting assistance as seen on much more nervous models. All this gear, released in 2020, is grouped under the name RDRS, the Reflex Defensive Rider Systems – the explanations here ->. Anecdotally, the pneumatic assembly goes to 18 inches.

The Limited is enriched with equipment almost continuously. Recall what the Rushmore project had offered in 2014, namely an abundance of improvements. Four years of listening to customers, collecting comments and ideas, feedback, and in the end, a discreet leap forward on all fronts. Always so delicious, but its services became of another ilk. What about ?
Let’s start with a blow of the scalpel in the fairing. Harley also dares to modify its timeless “Batwing” fork crown. 3000 tests later, a central air intake is cut under the windshield, so as to equalize the air pressure and reduce the eddies around the pilot’s helmet. It opens and closes at the push of a button. Then, it’s a cocktail of practicality and style that subtly changes the peripherals of the Limited. The Tour Pak trunk, more compact, nevertheless offers 4% more capacity. The slimmer suitcases also provide more storage space. These luggage elements open with a single push. In addition, they are lockable with a One-Touch button, just like the fuel flap, the Jukebox and the glove boxes..

2020 Harley-Davidson 1870 Ultra Limited FLHTK In the mid-2010s, Harley took to a new dimension of entertainment with the BOOM Box. It is time to modernize this system with the GTS version. With a faster processor and increased memory, the module now takes about ten seconds to start and promises to be much faster for calculating routes. A new screen doubles the resolution, offers more contrast and is more sensitive as well as efficient to hand gestures.
The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay, allowing content from your iPhone to be projected onto the 6.5-inch color TFT screen. Navigation has been simplified, making it easier to enjoy the GPS, radio, audio content you bring via smartphone, iPod, SD card or USB key, voice recognition, 25 watts per channel ( 4), Bluetooth, intercom, etc..
Let’s stay within the framework of life on board to discover how comfort takes care of the crew. For the pilot, as we have seen, beautiful and complete instrumentation, heated grips and cruise control. It is on the passenger side that the gain is made. Saddle longer and wider by 2.5 cm, saddlebag guards lowered, backrest revised in height, width, angle and shape for better comfort, offset speakers and adjusted armrests. With that, it’s impossible not to please Madame.

Even more than before, this Touring should have been rebadged from Limited to Unlimited. After optimizing engine, comfort and entertainment, Harley also looked at the chassis. Lighter and stiffer wheels, of course. A 49 mm fork, that is. Fine-tuned damping, OK. And to include braking, the Reflex system combined with ABS. To put it simply, the front and rear brakes operate independently below 40 km / h. Above, the linked braking is activated and an electronic management distributes the braking between the front and rear. 2017 continued this momentum with a more efficient Showa fork and emulsion shocks. The preload is adjusted using a dial. Not only more efficient, amortization is intended to be more constant.
The lighting also evolved, with a Daymaker LED headlight supported by halogen fog lights. Not content with offering more light, Daymaker technology visually brings a surprising modern touch. In all, these eyes distribute 2136 lumens to pierce black. Do these numbers mean nothing to you? Neither to me.

In its 1690 “phase 2” version, the Limited also adopted controls with remote functions on the handlebars, a new front fender, new medallions, more visible instrumentation and a new harness for battery charging..
While retaining a maximum of style which is all the pride of the Electra, this anthem to the road offers once again much more, for a slight inflation. Rise anyway almost transparent given the amount required to have the right to cruiser on such a machine. Sitting on a striking Milwaukee Eight 114 Ultra Limited, you have no more excuses not to indulge yourself for thousands of miles.
