Harley Davidson
FLRT Freewheeler


















Hot rod-inspired style and a smaller, easy-handling size
make the new Freewheeler model unlike any other trike on the road. Confidence
comes instantly in this saddle...
Harley-Davidson puts hot-rod swagger on three wheels with
the 2015 Freewheeler motorcycle, the all-new trike model that fuses pure custom
style and easy-handling performance. From its ape-hanger handlebar to its
bobtail fenders the Freewheeler is a page ripped straight from the bad- attitude
handbook, offered in a size thats shorter and lighter for a riding experience
like nothing else on the road.
Riding on three wheels has never been cooler. The
Freewheeler front end is all new and features a chrome, seven-piece nacelle
thats tucked tight to the forks and holds a Dual Halogen headlamp in a polished
chrome bucket. A trim front fender tops a 19-inch Enforcer Cast Aluminum wheel
with machined highlights. The all-new rear body shape gives the Freewheeler a
low, lean profile and incorporates a weatherproof trunk designed to hold two
full-face helmets. The top trunk door opens right-to-left for easy loading. Dual
chrome mufflers with slash-down tips are inset in the bottom of the trunk.
Bobtail fenders terminate in an arrogant flip to expose the rear tires, and
incorporate bright LED stop/tail/turn lamps.
The Freewheeler puts more riders a comfortable, confident
position. That 12-inch mini-ape handlebar offers the tallest rise available on
any motorcycle to place the hand controls closer to rider and reduce steering
effort. The seat is shaped to move the rider forward for a better reach to the
foot and hand controls, with a passenger position designed for comfort while
blending with the bodywork. Soft-touch passenger grab rails are easy to grip and
mount directly to the body.
The Freewheeler is equipped with electronic cruise
control, a foot-activated parking brake, electric reverse gear and a hydraulic
Assist and Slip clutch with reduced lever effort. The linked brake system allows
the rider to apply both the front and rear brakes through the rear brake pedal.
The full front brake system is applied only through the front brake lever and
remains independent. Built around a chassis engineered exclusively for a
three-wheeled vehicle, the Freewheeler offers premium Harley-Davidson quality
and performance, backed by a full factory warranty and the network of authorized
Harley-Davidson dealers.
Riding on three wheels has never been cooler.
An air-cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine
cranks out 105 ft. lbs. of peak torque and delivers abundant power for quick
getaways and robust highway passing performance. The Freewheeler is equipped
with electronic cruise control, a foot-activated parking brake, electric reverse
gear and a hydraulic Assist and Slip clutch with reduced lever effort. The
linked brake system allows the rider to apply both the front and rear brakes
through the rear brake pedal. The full front brake system is applied only
through the front brake lever and remains independent. Built on a chassis
engineered exclusively as a three-wheeled vehicle, the Freewheeler offers
premium Harley-Davidson quality and performance, backed by a limited two-year
factory warranty and the network of authorized Harley-Davidson dealers.

Project RUSHMORE - Engine
As every rider knows, the engine is at the heart of the
experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower it
delivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives you
when you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle engine
because weve been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us the
opportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests with
real riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendary
Harley-Davidson® engine. The consensus was: We want more. More low-end torque,
more passing power, more perfection in the tone of the exhaust note, more of the
feeling we ride a motorcycle for. So we built the engines that deliver it. Were
proud to unveil the next level of Harley-Davidson® V-Twin engine. And prove once
and for all, the customer is always right.
H-D Smart Security System (Optional)
The optional dealership-installed next-generation security
system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the
vehicle's electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the
bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's
this attention to detail and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles
unique.
hree Wheel Frame Design
Trikes are bound to ride a little differently than
two-wheeled machines. But when they're done right, they have a joy of their own.
Harley-Davidson uses legendary engineering and ride dynamics to keep you
comfortable and connected to the road. This three-wheeled pioneer is built from
the ground up for maximum handling. The frame and chassis structure is
engineered to specifically handle the steering forces and weight of a
three-wheel vehicle. And we defy you find a more comfortable ride on the touring
circuit from two to four to eighteen wheels.
Electric Reverse with Handlebar-Mounted Control
We know you expect the ultimate performance from the
ultimate Harley-Davidson® touring machine, so we make sure to deliver. Case in
point: this electric reverse puts convenient control at your fingertips, for
confident, easy movement for parking, loading, close-quarters maneuvering, or
any situation where only going one way is not an option.
Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series Blackwall Tires
The Freewheeler model rides on bias front and radial back
Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series blackwall tires. Dunlop® Multi-Tread technology
uses harder compounds at the center and softer on the sides for a tire that
still knows how to knuckle down on corners. Perfect for making this bike agile
on every curvy stretch of road. And the way it feels going through an abrupt
off-camber turn will put a grin on your face that'll last to the next state
line.

Rear to Front Linked Brakes
No doubt about it, there are times riding
when you need to haul things down in a hurry. Thats why the
Freewheeler model comes standard with rear to front linked
brakes. When the rear brake is applied the system also applies
the front brake for maximum stopping power. However, the front
brake is independent so you can use it without applying and
brake to the rear. No matter how good you are, this will make
you a better rider.
Dual Disc Front and Hayes Rear Brakes
Keeping your mind clear and soaking up the
freedom of the open road means not fretting about your ride.
Especially when it comes to stopping. High performance, sleek
design, the dual disc brakes feature 6-piston fixed calipers
grabbing on floating rotors for superior stopping power.
New Ergonomically Designed Hand Controls

Its hard to enjoy the ride or keep your
eyes focused on whats coming down the road when youre fussing
and bothering with the switches on your handlebar. So weve
worked over the hand controls on our trikes with as much passion
as weve worked over our engine. We made the shape more
ergonomic and located and angled them to fall right under your
thumbs. Weve added left-hand cruise for easy activation, and
weve improved the feel to give you a confidence-inspiring click
at every push of a button.
Steering Head and Front Forks
Whether its a big sweeping curve or a set
of tight turns, getting through the corners just got better. We
stiffened up the front end and increased the fork diameter to
49mm, an increase of 18 percent. The responsiveness is dialed
in. Plus a steering damper controls feedback from the road. So
when you're out with your bagger buddies, you'll stay right at
the front of the pack.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® Transmission
You want a ride that rumblesnot begs for
mercywhen you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive®
transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine
speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine
turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds
like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening
up the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103 Engine Heritage
The knowledge of what makes an engine
truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was
put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 103 engine. We
sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and
technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one
bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying
on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead,
Evolution® and Twin Cam 88® and Twin Cam 96® engines that came
before. The performance and durability are a direct result of
the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909 and the proud
heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life
on two wheels.
Twin Cam 103 Engine Innovation
Fire up the air-cooled, rubber-mounted
Twin Cam 103 engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed for a
smooth ride. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery
of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot
on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise
Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds.
A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine
maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
Full-Length Footboards & Toe/Heel Gear Shifts

Your boots were made for ridingany way
you see fit. Our full-length footboards boast a time-tested,
tried-and-true design and rubber isolation for a comfortable
ride, while the height-adjustable passenger boards add another
level of customizable comfort for your riding partner. And for
shifting gears, you can use either the traditional toe-shift or
the even easier, more convenient heel-shift. It might take a few
rides, but once you've gotten used to the smooth shifting
rhythm, you'll never give it up.
ew Passenger Grab Rails
The all-new Freewheeler model is sporting
a pair of wide diameter grab rails for your passenger. They're
easy to find without looking down, and easy to grip. The feeling
is sturdy, safe and secure. So you can let the High-Output Twin
Cam 103 engine rumble knowing your passenger has an excellent
hand hold.
Air Adjustable Rear Shocks
With air-adjustable suspension that comes
standard, you can dial in your ride to accommodate heavier or
lighter payloads, battle unexpected road conditions or simply
set it to how you like to roll. The lighter the load, the softer
you can go by decreasing the air pressure a bit, or increase the
air pressure for a more firm ride. There's a convenient air
valve for quick adjusting. It's all about rider and passenger
comfort and setting your bike to fit your tastethe easy way.
Standard Cruise Control
Installing cruise control is standard
operating procedure on the trike models because riding long
stretches of unbroken highway is standard operating procedure
among riders. Electronic throttle control means no cable
cluttering up your handlebar. And the switches are placed where
you can easily dial in your speed with your left thumb, give the
wrist a break, and keep hauling on down the road.
New Assist & Slip Hydraulic Clutch
Clutch effort goes way down on the
Freewheeler motorcycle. Thanks to the new Assist & Slip
hydraulic clutch, you can ride all day through stop-and-go
traffic without wearing out your hand and forearm.
New Reduced Reach Comfort Stitched Seat
The seat on the new Freewheeler model
moves the rider up 1" closer to the controls for an easier reach
to the bars. And its one-piece, two-up stitched construction
means it keeps you good to go for hours. We spent a lot of hours
getting the comfort, position and feel exactly right because we
know how many hours riders are going to spend using it.
New Unique Trunk System
The trunk on the Freewheeler model is
unique to the Freewheeler. It's a one-of-a-kind design that
opens left to right (with one hand) and extends the entire
length of the body for a clean look. It easily accommodates two
full-face helmets. Looks great. Works great. That's the
trademark of every feature on every Project RUSHMORE model.



One-Touch Design Philosophy
Heres the rule we laid down for every
compartment cover and trunk lid on our touring line: if it
doesnt open with the single touch of a button or one hand,
while wearing gloves, it doesnt go on the motorcycle. Because
in all our conversations with all the riders we talked to over
the eight years we were rebuilding these motorcycles from the
ground up, we didnt encounter a single individual who wanted to
have to put something on the ground before he could store it in
a saddlebag.
Standard Battery Charging Harness
No question a battery charging harness is
a must-have on a motorcycle. Now its standard. So you dont
have to waste even the ten minutes it takes to install one on
some sunny Saturday when you could be riding.
Foot-Operated Parking Brake
The parking brake on the Freewheeler
model couldnt be any simpler to find or operate. Its right
there by your left foot. When you want to lock in, you push it
down. When its time to take off again, you give it another
push. And a light has been added to the gauges to alert you when
your parking brake is engaged.
Project RUSHMORE - Styling
Project RUSHMORE is the journey we set out
on to take our touring motorcycles to places never imagined
before  to turn all the possibilities for what a motorcycle can
be now into true Milwaukee steel. We did it our way, as weve
always done. As riders. Riding with other riders. Thousand of
hours, countless road tests, millions of miles. Looking for the
technology and innovations that truly make the ride better. We
went over the bike fender tip to fender tip. Making it work
better. Making it look sleeker. Modern. Clean. Tight. Let your
eye take a journey over the machine. This is classic
Harley-Davidson style and a sleek, modern look at the exact same
time. At Harley-Davidson, form has always followed function. And
both have always reported to emotion. Now were just doing it on
a completely different level.
Pure Harley-Davidson Styling
Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103
engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic
Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to
detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black
powder-coated cylinders and cylinder heads with machined cooling
fin tips are topped off with chrome rocker covers, while chrome
pushrods highlight the iconic V-Twin. It's a jewel machined out
of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of
the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and coversthe Twin
Cam 103 engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to
what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
Enforcer Cast Aluminum Wheels
Theres an Enforcer front wheel leading
the way on the Freewheeler motorcycle, and you've got two more
to match in the back. Up front, the brake rotors have been
re-designed to show off more of the premium custom look of the
wheels. Three wheels never looked so pleasing to the eye.
High Flow Airbox
Our design philosophy can be summed up
pretty simply: form follows function, but both report to
emotion. This airbox is a prime example of that. Its the most
functional airbox weve ever put on a Harley-Davidson® touring
bike. It lets the engine breathe better for more power, but its
also designed to provide better airflow around the rider.
Emotion? Thats the part you feel when you look at it sitting
right at the center of your V-Twin engine.
ank And Fender Badges
This isnt just a motorcycle. Its a work
of art, born out of passion, creativity and long days, late
nights and refusing to be satisfied until every detail was
perfect. When we added the signature badges, we did it with
metal. Nothing else would be right on this masterpiece.
New Rear Body Structure
The Freewheeler model is 3" shorter than
the Tri Glide® Ultra model, thanks to an all-new rear body
structure that's been pulled forward to reduce the overall
length of the vehicle. This makes Freewheeler model feel
smaller and less intimidating. One more reason why the
Freewheeler is the choice for those who place a premium on the
ease of handling their machine.
New 7-Piece Nacelle
There's a new 7-piece nacelle on the
Freewheeler model. It was designed from the ground up for this
machine. It's tucked tight against the frame and forks for a
tighter, smaller look. And it accommodates a clean-looking
windshield mounting system.
New 12" Mini Apehanger Bars
The 12" Mini Apehanger bars on the
Freewheeler model are the tallest rise you can get from an OE
manufacturer. They look good, but these tall bars aren't just
there for looks. They pull the hand controls back toward the
rider, and reduce the force it takes to turn the front wheel.
They help make the Freewheeler one easy riding, easy handling
machine.
New Chrome Slash Cut Mufflers
The High Output Twin Cam 103 engine puts
its exhaust note out to the world through all-new chrome slash
down style mufflers. They're cut 3 inches shorter than the Tri
Glide® Ultra model's mufflers to match the shorter length of the
Freewheeler model.
New Bobtail Rear Fenders
What's better than the classic look of a
Harley-Davidson® bobtail rear fender? How about the classic look
of two Harley-Davidson® bobtail rear fenders? That's what you
get on the Freewheeler model. It's the kind of custom look
that's hard to find anywhere else.
Black Powder Coated Engine with Chrome Covers

The jewel at the center of the
Freewheeler Special model is a black powder coated Twin-Cooled
Twin Cam 110 engine with chrome covers. Yeah, it's a lot of
show. But that's okay. Because it's backed up by a lot of go.
ullet Turn Signals
We went end to end and top to bottom to
give the Harley-Davidson® touring lineup the clean, tight,
sharp, iconic look and feel that only befits the next generation
of our motorcycles. The finishing touch bullet turn signals.
Sleek and modern, yet a timeless classic.
Seamless Styling and Matching Paint
This three-wheeled pioneer is designed,
developed and tested to the highest standards of the Motor
Company and backed by over a hundred years of touring mastery.
This is not a bolt-on, aftermarket Trike kit. It's engineered
and road-tested as a whole. Every inch is integrated for
comfort, cargo and confidence. From the smooth, classically
designed lines to the front-to-rear matching paint, the
Freewheeler model has the bloodlines of a true Harley-Davidson®
motorcycle through and through.
