Hydra-Glide Revival
2024
Hydra-Glide Revival
With wartime utilitarianism in the rearview mirror, Harley-Davidson entered the 1950s with the 74-cubic-inch Panhead powertrain, the Hydra-Glide telescopic front end, and refreshing color schemes that brought new energy to the only surviving American motorcycle manufacturer. One of the most beloved models was the 1956 FLH, which featured a red base color with a white stripe, known as the “slash” two-tone color scheme. Now, 75 years after the 1949 introduction of the Hydra-Glide front end, Harley-Davidson is reviving this icon of the Panhead era in serialized limited production.
CLASSIC STYLE
THE SLASH
The renowned two-tone “slash” paint scheme from the 1956 models is reintroduced in Redline Red and Birch White.
SEAT AND SADDLEBAGS
Inspired by a custom 1956 FLH, the solo seat and saddle bags are fringed and embellished with candy-colored rosettes, white seam piping, and red contrast stitching.
TWO-TONE WINDSHIELD
The Hydra-Glide Revival’s detachable, two-tone windshield is period correct and color matched in Redline Red.
LIMITED EDITION
Limited to 1,750 bikes, each individual motorcycle has a serialized “Hydra-Glide Revival” emblem on the handlebar riser cap, as well as an “Icons Motorcycle Collection” graphic on the rear fender.
MODERN PERFORMANCE
MILWAUKEE-EIGHT® 114 ENGINE
The 74-cubic-inch Panhead motor was a marvel at the birth of the American highway but is no match for today’s Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin, which delivers modern performance and that classic Harley-Davidson look, sound, and feel.
CRUISE CONTROL
While cruise control made its debut in the ‘50s, it wasn’t featured on the original Hydra-Glide, but we’re sure it would’ve been appreciated by beatniks and other wayfaring riders.
SCREAMIN’ EAGLE® HIGH-FLOW AIR CLEANER
Any old-school hotrodder will tell you to “let that motor breathe,” which is why the Screamin’ Eagle High-Flow Air Cleaner comes standard on the Hydra-Glide Revival.
SOFTAIL™ FAHRWERK
Das versteckt untergebrachte Einzelfederbein des modernen Softail-Fahrwerks sorgt für einen coolen Starrrahmen-Look, ohne dass Du wie früher einen Nierengurt tragen müsstest.
