Electra Glide Standard: an innovation

The amalgamation of the look of a cruiser with the performance level of a Sportster is something unique. And this has made the latest Harley Davidson Electra Glide Standard motorcycle the most interesting debut.

While other bike manufacturers are constantly working on enhancing the technological sophistication of the models, Harley Davidson is all set to follow a different track.

The Harley Davidson Electra glide standard is more like a stripped-down dresser. The model proudly shows off the simplicity that can win over the tech-laden beasts available these days in the touring cruiser segment of the industry. Hence, it is always a niche product from our showroom

Getting into the design

There are not many complications in the design ethos of the Electra glide Standard models.

• The only available colour is black and
• has no Bluetooth or infotainment.
• Also, there is no ABS in the standard trim.
• There is a single seat unless you purchase an upgrade.

This is definitely something new in the market that will attract solo riders. For passionate bikers, it will be a nice surprise, given the simplicity of the design.

The earlier release of the EGS happened in 2007. But the response wasn’t noteworthy as our customers were not prepared for such a package for the price that they have to pay.

But the scenario is different right now. The market has changed drastically in the past few years. And we are witnessing a rise in the demand for the models like the Electra glide standard which are light-duty vehicles for a great touring experience.

It’s about the seat

The solo saddle will rest almost 31 inches above the tarmac and almost 4.1 inches higher than in the standard models. Although the standard cruiser companies try to maintain a low- height for the seats for higher accessibility to a broad range of riders, the EGS has reversed the course for the best. Undoubtedly, the perch on the bike will feel like being in the clouds.

A different experience

The models of Harley Davidson touring bikes are never the lowest-slung models that the company is manufacturing. But they are still relatively low. So, when you will try to work with a motorcycle weighing 900 pounds with packed bags, the seat height will matter.

It will be an additional factor when you need to manoeuvre in the parking lots. So, the 30.9 inches will work the best and it just did, given the response from the buyers.

Appreciate the leg space

Riders above the height of six feet will love the revived version of the Harley Davidson Electra glide standard. On touring bikes, your knees will bend a decent amount and your feet forward on the floorboards. When you sit on this seat, you can stretch your legs comfortably to the floorboards, which is an additional comfort factor when it comes to long bike rides.

With the feet planted, the bend in the knees will be minimal. Therefore, the rider will feel extremely comfortable riding on this bike for hours or days.

Grips are lower

Instead of the traditional form of reaching up to the grips on the standard Harley Davidson motorcycle, the grip position will be a slight reach down. And it will level with the bottom of your ribcage. It is good for those who like to ride with low-hung grips.

A unique feel

Once you sit on the new Electra glide standard, you will feel something is unusual. And what’s that? Well, your neck and head will most probably be above the protection of the windshield, despite the 10-inch shield. Why so?

Remember the notable elevation of the seat? Now, that keeps you at a higher level than the shield. Although the wind will lash your face, which can be irritating for some riders, the feel can be cool actually, to be seen above the windshield.

Ideal for long rides

If you analyse all the features of the bike, you will agree that this model of the EGS is ideal for long rides.

• The elevated seat will add to your comfort when driving miles and miles during long trips. Also, it won’t cause any structural problems that can affect your health.
• The stretching space for the legs will prevent the onset of knee pain or joint pains.
• The handle at a lower height will aid to drive even when you have shoulder pain or numbness in the hand muscles.

Thus, the good news is that the new model of the Harley Davidson Electra glide standard is certainly a notable addition to the company’s collection/

No ignorance of power plant

The motor company has been very cautious about the making of this bike. The torque of 118 ft-lbs at 3250 rpm is always the best for touring bikes. If you put the bike on the sixth gear, you will hit eh peak of the torque weight above 80 mph. When you are battling your way on the unforgiving interstates, the roll-on power will help you to hurry up.

Confident shifting

The gear system and the clutch model are ideal for the easy and assured shift of the gears. The performance is, thus, excellent and sure. But do remember that the rear cylinder valve cover can get a little hit in extreme circumstances.

When you cruise at a speed above 80 mph, the temperature may rise. It can be a trouble as the riding position will make your hand placement right beside the valve cover.

So just be a little careful. Every model has its pros and cons. But for this mode, the advantages overshadow the few and negligible disadvantages.
