2024 Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide Revival: THE LEADER OF THE PACK IS BACK.

Introducing the 2024 Harley-Davidson 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.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON® DEBUTS 2024 ICONS AND ENTHUSIAST MOTORCYCLE COLLECTIONS

Limited-Edition Hydra-Glide Revival Model and Tobacco Fade Models Premiere at Daytona Bike Week

MILWAUKEE (February 29, 2024) – Harley-Davidson® today revealed the latest additions to its limited-edition Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection and the limited-run Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection, showcasing premium factory-direct custom paint and graphic treatments and paint application technology. Both collections will be displayed March 2-9 during the run of Daytona Bike Week at Harley-Davidson® Event Display Area at Daytona® International Speedway, and are also available now at authorized Harley-Davidson dealers.

 

Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection: Hydra-Glide Revival Model

The 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival model, the fourth installment in the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection, celebrates the 75th anniversary of the 1949 introduction of the Hydra-Glide telescopic front suspension for Harley-Davidson® E and F models. When Hydra-Glide equipped models were introduced the saddle of a smooth-riding Harley-Davidson® FL motorcycle was an exciting way for many Americans to explore the country on the new network of Interstate highways. Owners of a 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival model can trace their own route to freedom and adventure on a bike inspired by this classic era, while enjoying all of the comfort and features of a modern Harley-Davidson® motorcycle.

The Icons Motorcycle Collection is an annual program for the limited release of a new model that offers a fresh interpretation of an iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A limited collection, each model is individually numbered and produced only once. Global production of the Hydra-Glide Revival model will not exceed 1,750 units.

 

Exclusive Styling Features

The Hydra-Glide Revival model is finished in custom Redline Red paint with a Birch White panel on fuel tank sides, the same design featured on 1956 models. Details include chrome “Harley-Davidson V” tank badges inspired by 1955-56 tank badges and “Hydra-Glide” script badges located on the front fender skirt. The serialized “Hydra-Glide Revival” insert on the handlebar riser cap and Icons Motorcycle Collection graphic on the rear fender identify this limited-production model.

Additional styling features include instrument graphics inspired by those on the 1954-55 speedometer. The two-tone 21-inch (53.3 cm) high detachable windshield features a color-matched lower portion in Redline Red. A chrome round air cleaner cover and chrome steel laced wheels add to the nostalgic look. Front and rear fender trim, engine guard, fork covers, powertrain and exhaust are finished in brilliant chrome.

A solo saddle is finished with a fringed and decorated leather valance, white seam piping and red contrast stitching, and a chrome rail for a nostalgic look. A matching black leather tank strap is embellished with studs and a concho. Leather and vinyl saddlebags are detailed with chrome conchos with acrylic red centers, chrome studs and leather fringe, white seam piping and red contrast stitching. The saddlebags are water-resistant, have keyed locks for security, and have a rigid liner so they will hold their shape season after season.

 

Nostalgic Look, Modern Performance

The bike features a counter-balanced Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine tuned with a Screamin’ Eagle® High-Flow air cleaner to deliver power with authority. For the rider focused on performance, this engine accepts all applicable Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® Stage Upgrade kits.

The Softail® chassis hides adjustable mono-shock rear suspension below the seat for dynamic cornering capability and riding comfort while preserving a classic hardtail profile. Electronic cruise control holds a steady speed for comfort on long rides. LED headlamp and auxiliary lamps provide outstanding forward illumination. Standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) offers confident control in a variety of riding conditions.

 

 

2024 Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide Revival Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

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.

AT A GLANCE
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Hydra-Glide, a champion of the Panhead era is resurrected with the release of the limited-edition 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival.

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® CHASSIS
The lowered, hidden mono-shock suspension of the modern Softail chassis provides that vintage rigid look without any need for an antique kidney belt.
