The 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra sees the addition of Harley’s Twin-Cooling system that uses an electric pump to circulate coolant through the cylinder heads around the exhaust valves. The system’s heat exchangers are tucked neatly away in the left and right fairing lowers so you can’t really tell it’s there (like the debut Twin-cooled Harley, the 2014 Ultra Limited). Harley claims the Twin-Cooled High Output TC103 has a higher 10.1:1 compression ratio than the stock Twin Cam 103, boosting torque by 10.7%.

The Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines racing team unveiled its restyled V-Rod drag motorcycles ahead of the first Pro Stock Motorcycle round of the 2012 NHRA Full Drag Racing series. Reigning champion Ed Krawiec and Andrew Hines will compete for the Harley-Davidson team on new V-Rod drag bikes, restyled to more closely resembled the Night Rod Special production model. This marks the first restyling of Harley-Davidson’s NHRA competition bikes since the V-Rod entered the competition in 2002, and comes as The Motor Company celebrates the V-Rod’s 10th anniversary.“The goal was to make the drag racing motorcycles look more like the current production Night Rod Special motorcycle,” says Kris Schoonover, Harley-Davidson racing manager.
