Under the project name “more roads to Harley-Davidson“ the concept of a travel enduro from HD was presented for the first time in July 2018, with which the US cult forge will soon open up new customer segments. Now the vision will actually become reality in the near future. The first mid-range streetfighter from Harley-Davidson is expected to be available by the end of 2020. The naked bike is called “Bronx” and is powered by the brand-new, liquid-cooled “Revolution Max” 60 ° V-Twin, which will initially be available in two displacement variants: with 975 cubic centimeters for the Bronx and 1250 cubic centimeters for the new Adventure- Bike “Pan America“.
The engine with a balancer shaft was made by Harley-Davidson developed as the basis for a completely new model family and should score with high elasticity, a broadly usable speed range, lively revving and powerful performance – with a slim design and low weight. For the benefit of optimally centralized masses, the engine is integrated into the vehicle frame as a load-bearing component, which, according to Harley, should have a positive effect on handling. Thanks to the Revolution Max drive, the Bronx will generate more than 115 hp and over 95 Newton meters, according to the manufacturer, and will transmit its power to the 17-inch rear wheel via chain final drive.

The Bronx’s braking system was made in collaboration Developed with Brembo, the radially mounted four-piston monoblock brake caliper is precisely tailored to the needs of the company. The specially developed tires for the Streetfighter come from Michelin. The first photos of the production bike also show a generously dimensioned TFT round instrument operated via 4-way buttons.
