So, the veils are off the goodies Harley-Davidson has in the works for 2021. The bike maker took advantage of its first digital event and unveiled the bulk of the models hitting the assembly lines for the new year, but also the accessories devised for them.
The Street Bob now uses the 1,868cc 114 engine
Harley’s CVO models gets a new audio system
Touring models have been updated as well
The new Street Bob 114 is based on the outgoing model, but as the ‘114’ in its name suggests, it gets a larger engine. This engine is said to be the most powerful engine available in the Softail range. The 114 Milwaukee-Eight displaces 1,868cc, compared to the 1,753cc 107 engine. It is said to make the Street Bob 9 percent quicker from 0-100kph, as compared to the older bike. Harley has also added a new colour option.
For 2021, the company’s Touring family has received some updated equipment as well. The Road King Special and Street Glide Special now use LED headlights. The Street Glide Special along with the Road Glide Special also gets new colour schemes.
It was a busy day over in Milwaukee on Tuesday, as local icon Harley-Davidson did its best to wow the world with the presentation of models and accessories for the new year. The bike maker launched with great fanfare the Street Bob 114, the slightly restyled CVOs, and a long list of other accessories. But something important was missing.

On Tuesday, January 19, Harley-Davidson finally stepped into the modern age with its first digital event, H-D 21. It was the perfect medium for the bike maker to unveil the new variant of the Softail Street Bob, one powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine. 1 photo
Aptly called Street Bob 114, the new machine is described as
“a tough-looking bike that was intended to be ridden hard.” The increase in displacement compared with the previous Milwaukee-Eight 107 means, of course, an increase in power and faster acceleration times.
According to the figures provided by Harley-Davidson, the 114 can do the 0 to 60 mph (96 kph) run 9 percent faster than before. But more importantly, this is the most power offered from the factory in a Softail chassis, with the powerplant churning out 119 lb-ft (161 Nm) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
