The Ultimate Touring Experience Gets Even More Ultimate
The Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited® has long been the gold standard for long-distance touring motorcycles. It’s a machine meticulously crafted for conquering vast stretches of asphalt while pampering riders and passengers with unparalleled comfort and luxury. For 2024, Harley-Davidson takes the Ultra Limited® to the next level, offering a comprehensive redesign that elevates every aspect of the touring experience.
A Timeless Design, Refined for the Modern Road
The 2024 Ultra Limited® retains the iconic batwing fairing that has become synonymous with Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles. This distinctive design element provides ample wind protection for both rider and passenger, ensuring a comfortable ride even on high-speed journeys. However, Harley-Davidson hasn’t simply rested on its laurels. The batwing fairing has been subtly reshaped for improved aerodynamics, further reducing wind buffeting and noise intrusion.
The chrome headlamp housing and nacelle remain a focal point, projecting a commanding presence on the road. The integrated luggage system, a hallmark of the Ultra Limited®, has been redesigned to seamlessly blend with the fairing, creating a more streamlined and visually cohesive motorcycle. Premium chrome finishes and a wider range of color options allow riders to personalize their machine and express their unique style.
Unmatched Power: The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Engine
Propelling the 2024 Ultra Limited® is the mighty Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, the largest displacement powerplant ever offered by Harley-Davidson from the factory. This air-cooled V-twin powerhouse delivers an impressive 105 horsepower at 4,600 rpm and 130 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, providing ample muscle for effortlessly loaded touring adventures.
A high-flow air intake system optimizes engine performance, while the high-flow exhaust system ensures a throaty rumble that retains the unmistakable Harley-Davidson spirit. Despite its impressive power, the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine prioritizes fuel efficiency, allowing riders to explore vast distances without frequent gas station stops.
Luxury Redefined: A Touring Oasis for Rider and Passenger
The 2024 Ultra Limited® isn’t just about power and performance; it’s about creating the ultimate touring experience in terms of comfort and luxury. The redesigned chassis boasts a new, lighter frame that enhances handling and agility without sacrificing stability on the open road. The suspension system, featuring a Dual Bending Valve (DBV) front fork and a single rear shock absorber with adjustable preload and rebound damping, delivers a smooth and controlled ride on any road surface.
The ergonomically designed heated seats and handlebars (standard equipment) provide optimal comfort for both rider and passenger, even on extended journeys. Ample legroom and a comfortable seating position ensure fatigue-free miles. A premium audio system with speakers strategically placed within the fairing delivers exceptional sound quality, while a Boom Box GTS infotainment system with a large touchscreen display allows riders to control audio, navigation, phone calls, and vehicle information with ease. The 2024 Ultra Limited® is a motorcycle designed to pamper riders on every journey.
Tech-Savvy Touring: A Command Center at Your Fingertips
The 2024 Ultra Limited® embraces the digital age with a comprehensive suite of technological features. A large, color TFT touchscreen display, conveniently located within the redesigned batwing fairing, serves as the information hub. Riders can easily access vital information such as speed, fuel level, engine diagnostics, and turn-by-turn navigation (when paired with a compatible smartphone). The display is designed for optimal readability in all lighting conditions, ensuring riders have access to critical information at a glance.
Harley-Davidson’s intuitive infotainment system allows riders to control audio functions, phone calls, and other features directly through the touchscreen or via handlebar controls. This integration of technology ensures a safe and enjoyable riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead. Wireless charging for compatible smartphones ensures you stay connected on the go.
Safety First: Advanced Rider Aids for Confidence
The 2024 Ultra Limited® prioritizes rider safety with a suite of advanced rider aids powered by a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Cornering Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS), Cornering Traction Control System (C-TCS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Hold Control (HHC), and Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) work seamlessly in the background to provide an extra layer of safety, particularly in challenging weather conditions or unexpected situations.
These features can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, alert the rider of potential tire pressure issues, prevent the motorcycle from rolling backward on inclines, and hold the motorcycle stationary on inclines at traffic lights or stop signs. By incorporating these advance safety features, Harley-Davidson demonstrates its commitment to rider safety and confidence on the road.
Unparalleled Storage: Pack Everything You Need and More
The 2024 Ultra Limited® isn’t just about comfort and performance; it’s about being prepared for any adventure. The redesigned integrated luggage system offers a truly unmatched level of storage capacity. The spacious Tour-Pak trunk can easily accommodate all your touring essentials, while the saddlebags provide ample additional storage space. The luggage system is also equipped with remote locking and lighting for added convenience and security.
For riders who demand even more cargo capacity, Harley-Davidson offers a wide range of touring accessories, including additional luggage options, trunk organizers, and tour packs with extended capacity. With the 2024 Ultra Limited®, you can pack for any journey, big or small, and still have plenty of room to spare.
A Canvas for Customization: Tailoring the Ultimate Touring Experience
The 2024 Ultra Limited® isn’t a one-size-fits-all machine. Harley-Davidson offers a wide range of factory-installed and dealer-installed accessories that allow riders to personalize their touring experience to an unmatched degree. From performance upgrades like a Stage kit to enhance power, to comfort features like a passenger backrest and floorboards, the options are plentiful.
Riders can also choose from a variety of windshields of different heights for optimal wind protection, custom Tour-Pak lids to personalize the look, and a wide range of premium paint finishes to create a 2024 Ultra Limited® that reflects their unique touring style. With endless customization possibilities, riders can tailor the ultimate touring companion that perfectly suits their needs and desires.
