The 2016 Road Glide Special brings a sleek, aggressive hot-rod bagger attitude to the tarmac, looking exceptionally sharp in its premium Superior Blue factory finish. This brilliant, deep metallic blue stretches across the iconic frame-mounted Sharknose fairing, the sleek 6-gallon fuel tank, and the color-matched, stretched hard saddlebags with One-Touch latches. Emphasizing its custom styling, the Special features a low-profile sport windshield, a clean Enforcer cast aluminum front wheel, and a premium gloss black inner fairing that replaces the standard model's matte plastic dashboard.
Powering this highway mile-eater is the high-output Twin Cam 103™ V-Twin engine, which features a high-flow airbox to pump out 104.7 ft-lbs of low-end torque through a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. The Special package is built for long-haul performance, featuring standard Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS and a premium, hand-adjustable low-profile rear suspension. The cockpit is anchored by the Boom!™ Box 6.5GT infotainment system, giving the rider full access to a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display with integrated GPS navigation, voice-activation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a crisp multi-speaker audio system.
