2011 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE2 CVO Street Glide Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE2 CVO Street Glide touring motorcycle, Harley-Davidson relies on a 1802.7 cc (110 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 156 Nm (115.1 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.6 x 111.1 mm (4.0 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the FLHXSE2 CVO Street Glide measures 369.2 kg (814 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 696 mm (27.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,630 mm (64.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.7-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
