CVO Limited

2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Limited Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Limited features a 1923 cc (117.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105 HP (76.6 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 169.5 Nm (125 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 54.6 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (3,500 rpm) and peak power (5,250 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the CVO Limited measures 428.2 kg (944 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 704 mm (27.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.74 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 396 km (246 miles) between fill-ups.
