Project Rushmore Herdefinieert Harley Davidson Tour Modellen
A Customer-Driven Process Touches Every Facet of 2014 Touring and Trike Models
OXFORD (August 19, 2013) â The road trip. The freedom to travel at oneâs own pace and direction is a part of the American psyche. Itâs the itch we all need to scratch, and the reason Harley-Davidson invented the horizon-hunting touring motorcycle. This grand quest for adventure also inspired Project RUSHMORE, a comprehensive effort by Harley-Davidson to fundamentally improve every aspect of the riding experience for owners of its Touring motorcycles. After years of imagining, planning, engineering, styling, and testing, and countless hours of riding with and talking to its customers, Harley-Davidson presents the results of Project RUSHMORE on the full range of 2014 Touring and Trike models that are smart, comfortable, responsive and simply stunning. Road trips may never be better.
A Journey, Led by Riders.
âProject RUSHMORE has been touched by thousands of people, many of them our riding customers,â said Scott Habegger, Harley-Davidson Director of Motorcycle Planning. âIt represents a new direction in product development at Harley-Davidson that integrates the voice of the customer not just up front, but throughout the process. We gather input and ideas at formal focus groups, but also at all the events we attend, at our demo rides, sometimes just talking to that rider or passenger sitting on the next stool at a cafe. Our dealers also provide valuable input. We take our ideas and solutions back to customers as prototypes and get more feedback before settling on a final design. We really feel that we are in this together as riders. â
Harley-Davidson listens and responds like never before, and Project RUSHMORE produces thoughtful innovations and technological enhancements that collectively transform the Harley-Davidson Touring and Trike motorcycle platforms. Those enhancements slot into four customer-defined categories:
Control: Inspiring rider confidence are the improved Daymaker⢠LED or Dual Halogen lighting, Reflex⢠Linked Brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and the Twin-Cooled⢠High Output Twin Cam 103⢠and High Output Twin Cam 103⢠powertrains on selected Touring motorcycles.
Infotainment: New colour-screen Boom! ⢠Box infotainment systems combine quality audio, BluetoothŽ connectivity, voice recognition, text-to-speech technology, GPS navigation, plus support for intercom and CB communications in a single module.
Feel:Â From the new Batwing fairing with splitstream venting to a refined passenger seating area, aerodynamics and ergonomics come together to improve comfort.
Style:Â The form and the function of many components are improved â a reshaped Tour-PakÂŽ and saddlebags with convenient One-Touch design elements, sleeker fenders, lighter cast aluminium wheels and intuitive hand control switches.
