Details for the new Harley DavidsonXR1200X bike have been released. The XR1200X will be made for export only in 2010 and later in 2011 for the United States. The front and rear suspension can be fully customizable and adjusted to match the rider weight, riding style and the road conditions.
The engine is a 1200cc evolution V-Twin. Features Dunlop Qualifier D209 tires which were designed specifically for the new Harley Davidson XR1200X. Nissin® dual front brakes feature 292mm full-floating rotors and four-piston calipers. 3.5-gallon fuel tank with aircraft-style aluminum alloy fuel filler.
Showa Big Piston Front fork (BPF) eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, resulting in lighter overall fork weight. The large-diameter of the BPF internal piston allows a reduction in damping pressure for outstanding feedback and smooth action. Rebound and compression damping may be fine tuned with adjuster screws located on top of the fork bolts. The spring pre-load is adjusted with a M5 hex screw on the axle holders.
