The Heritage Classic takes with it more than saddlebags and a windshield. In the motorcycling landscape, it’s a mix of delightfully retro old Cadillacs, Palm Beach rides, and weekend recklessness. Before looking at the Touring range, it is interesting to taste the most road of Softail. Especially since it benefits from some improvements for the 2016 vintage.

Softails crave power. And obviously, the 103 ci is no longer enough for them. So, they all adopt the High Output version. With a specific camshaft and better breathing, the Twin Cam is advertised for some 5% more potato. Not yet enough to offer wings to the Heritage but one more stride when it comes to relaunching its 347 kilos (all full).

A little grooming, subtle but which will not escape the connoisseur, comes to sweeten this version 103+. Fewer nails on the passenger seat and leather saddlebags, a passenger folding seat raised on the end of the seat, a new tank badge, etc….
The style remains old school, in direct relation to the Hydra-Glides of the 50s. Enjoy the calm or the Aeolus with the removable windshield, offer whitewall tires on the spoked rims to complete the look, and cram in the holds to entertain you on weekends. Hey, by the way, the suitcases benefit from a new internal structure to better retain their shape..

2015 focused on braking. The front disc was widened from 292 to 300 mm. The caliper and master cylinder were redesigned, the latter also benefiting from a performance-enhancing design. With the high friction material of the pads, the effort required on the lever has been reduced almost in half. Harley advertises 40% less for optimal braking. Cruise control is now part of the standard equipment, in addition to H-D Smart, ABS, and all the charm of a classic idea.
