The 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival is the fourth instalment in the Harley-Davidson® Icons Motorcycle Collection and 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 the comfort and features of a modern Harley-Davidson® motorcycle.
The Icons Motorcycle Collection is an annual programme for the limited release of a new model that offers a fresh interpretation of an iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Global production of the Hydra-Glide Revival model will not exceed 1,750 units, with each model individually numbered and produced only once. Hydra-Glide Revival MSRP is £29,495 (IE €37,595).
Exclusive Styling Features
The Hydra-Glide Revival model is finished in custom Redline Red paint with a Birch White panel on the 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 mudguard skirt. The serialised “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 533 mm (21-inch) high detachable windshield features a colour-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 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 centres, chrome studs and leather fringe, white seam piping and red contrast stitching. The saddlebags are water-resistant, have keyed locks for security, and a rigid liner so they will hold their shape season after season.
Nostalgic look, modern performance
Hydra-Glide Revival 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 monoshock 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 headlight and auxiliary lamps provide outstanding forward illumination. Standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) offers confident control in a variety of riding conditions.
