2020 Harley-Davidsons Get 2 New Tech Upgrades

Also posted to:

Select 2020 Harley-Davidson® motorcycle models may be equipped with two new features designed to enhance the motorcycle riding and ownership experience.

H-D™ Connect Service
The H-D™ Connect service introduces subscription-based cellular connectivity to equipped Harley-Davidson® motorcycles to keep riders connected to their motorcycle through their smart phone using the latest version of the Harley-Davidson® App. The H-D Connect service allows owners to connect remotely to their motorcycle to view key vehicle health information. It also provides the owner with the reassurance of being able to remotely monitor their motorcycle’s security, including tamper alerts and stolen vehicle assistance, on the Harley-Davidson App.

2020 harley tech
H-D Connect service is a standard feature for 2020 Touring (except Road King®/S and Electra Glide® Standard models), Tri Glide® Ultra, and CVO™ models, and the LiveWire™ motorcycle (in regions where available). Harley-Davidson motorcycles equipped with H-D Connect service include a cellular telematics control unit (TCU) that functions as a (LTE) enabled modem connecting equipped motorcycles to the cloud.

Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS)
Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) is a new collection of technology designed to match motorcycle performance to available traction during acceleration, deceleration and braking.* The systems are designed to aid the rider in controlling the vehicle while accelerating and braking in a straight line or while in a turn. A rider may find the systems most helpful when riding in adverse road conditions and in urgent situations. The systems are electronic and utilize the latest chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain technology. The features of RDRS are bundled together, except where noted.

2020 LiveWire riding shot
RDRS features are standard on all 2020 Harley-Davidson CVO, Tri-Glide Ultra and Freewheeler® models, and the 2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire model. RDRS features are optional on all MY20 Touring models in the U.S. (except Electra Glide® Standard models).

* Available traction is determined by the road/tire interface. The systems bundled into the RDRS are only able to adjust brake pressure or powertrain torque in an attempt to keep the forces at the tire from exceeding available grip. These technologies do not have the ability to increase grip, or to intervene when the rider has not made a brake or throttle application (e.g. coasting through a corner with the clutch disengaged). RDRS is not a system to directly influence vehicle direction. This is a key difference between motorcycle RDRS and Automotive Stability Control. The rider is ultimately responsible for speed, steering, and path corrections.
