HARLEY-DAVIDSON UNVEILS HARLEY-DAVIDSON X™350 and X™500

MOTORCYCLES IN AUSTRALIA

A duo of powerful, lightweight and agile motorcycles designed for the urban rider.

Sydney, Australia (September 1, 2023) – In its 120th year of innovation, Harley-Davidson today announced two new Harley-Davidson X™ motorcycles available in Australia, designed specifically with the urban rider in mind - Harley-Davidson X™350 and Harley-Davidson X™500.

All elements of both the Harley-Davidson X™350 and Harley-Davidson X™500 have been designed to offer a comfortable riding experience, blending form with function to create a perfect harmony allowing riders to focus on the joy of riding and expressing their individuality.

The ergonomics put the rider in a relaxed, upright riding position. Suspension is tuned for a compliant ride on rougher roads, and the front and rear suspension is adjustable for rider preference. The seat is wide and well-padded for long-range comfort. The chassis, suspension and tyres combine to offer confident handling.

Designed in Milwaukee, the Harley-Davidson X™350’s design is unmistakably Harley-Davidson, tucked within a lightweight and agile package and perfectly tailored to excel in urban riding environments. With its light and nimble chassis paired with an engine tuned for strong mid-range torque, the Harley-Davidson X™350 is an ideal combination for real-world street-riding performance for urban commuters to experience the Harley-Davidson brand.

◦ A 353cc DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin, tuned to produce strong mid-range torque and mated to a six-speed transmission.

◦ Cable-actuated wet-plate clutch with chain final drive.

◦ 17-inch (432mm) front and rear wheels to deliver nimble performance.

◦ Pirelli Angel GT radial tyres sized 120/70 ZR17 in front, and 160/60-ZR17 in the rear.

◦ 41mm inverted fork front suspension with adjustable rebound damping.

◦ Monoshock rear suspension with coil spring with pre-load and rebound damping adjustability.
