Harley-Davidson has brought a new eye-catcher on the market, a really hot part! It is called "El Diablo". The look of the new model and its devilish play of colors can only be congratulated.
Harley-Davidson writes us the following about the new model today: Once again, Harley-Davidson® is reimagining one of its icons:
The new Low Rider™ El Diablo pays homage to the legendary West Coast custom style. It combines powerful performance and sportiness with a unique look and sound from Harley-Davidson® Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate®. The Low Rider™ El Diablo is released as part of the Harley-Davidson® Icons Collection, through which Harley-Davidson® releases up to two of its models once a year in a one-time limited edition celebrating signature colors, iconic designs and parts. Each model in the Icons Collection is individually numbered and produced only once. Only 1,500 examples of the new Low Rider™ El Diablo will be mass-produced worldwide and will be available at authorized Harley-Davidson® dealers from fall 2022 at an MSRP* of CHF 32,000.
Counterculture style touring
The basis for the new Low Rider™ El Diablo is the Harley-Davidson® Low Rider™ ST. Featuring two panniers as well as a frame-mounted fairing and Harley-Davidson® Softail™ chassis and Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-twin engine, the new Low Rider™ El Diablo sets new standards in style and sporty touring performance. "The Low Rider™ El Diablo is a modern expression of the iconic 1983 Harley-Davidson® FXRT and a representation of the custom trend it started, which continues to this day.
endures," said Brad Richards, vice president of design and creative director Harley-Davidson®. "It embodies the spirit of Southern California counterculture in the '80s in a total contemporary package that includes a meticulously crafted custom paint job.
including pinstripes that directly allude to those of the original FXRT."
Noble lacquer finish is created by hand
The elaborate, multi-layer paint finish of the special edition is a particularly high form of craftsmanship: the base coat in El Diablo Bright Red is complemented by a second fine layer in Bright Red Sunglo. The red pinstripes are carefully masked off and highlighted by shading in El Diablo Dark Red and Dark Red Pearl, which also create a depth effect. The painters then apply a coat of Diablo Dark Red Metallic surrounding the El Diablo Bright Red to further enhance the shading and depth effect. After the covers are removed, the pinstripes are revealed on the trunks, tank, fenders and fairing. Special highlight: The pale gold lines are hand-applied as a classy finish within the El Diablo Bright Red color areas. As a final coat of paint, translucent El Diablo Bright Red Sunglo creates a special candy effect. Black finishes on the drivetrain, front end and exhaust complete the El Diablo look. The cast aluminum wheels in a matte, dark bronze tone create an exciting contrast.
The painting of the Low Rider™ El Diablo is done entirely by hand by Gunslinger Custom Paint, the specialist in custom painted components for Harley-Davidson® Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycles and Limited Edition paint jobs.
High performance sound system
The new Low Rider™ El Diablo comes standard with a particularly powerful sound system integrated into the fairing: Harley-Davidson® Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate® was designed specifically for motorcycle use. The system with integrated two-way speaker features a compact 250-watt amplifier with digital signal processor (DSP). The system connects to mobile devices via Bluetooth 4.2 to play back stored or streamed audio files in superb sound quality through the speakers integrated into the fairing. In addition, drivers will find other useful features in the associated app, such as automatic volume control (AVC), which allows the volume to be adjusted to the vehicle speed, or the seven-band equalizer.
