Harley-Davidson® Softail® Motorcycles in Smyrna, DE

Feb. 22 2021 Articles By Rommel Harley-Davidson® Smyrna

The Harley-Davidson® Softail® lineup is famous for offering you exactly what you look for in a motorcycle: the classic Hardtail design, but with modern comfort and performance. Because they didn’t have a rear suspension, riding a Hardtail become obsolete long ago, but the Softail® re-creates that rigid frame by burying the rear suspension inside the fender. This method has won the hearts of many riders for decades, and with the amazing new upgrades to the 2017 Softail® models, they’ll win over a few more. To see if you might be one of them, come take a Softail® for a test ride at Rommel HD in Smyrna, DE, near Dover, Middletown, and Milford, Delaware. We’d love to see you leave our dealership with the bike of your dreams, which very well could be a Softail®. 

The Heritage Softail® Classic

It yearns for the days of old. But it wants a taste of modern riding too. Like you, the Heritage Softail® Classic understands the best things about riding: a nostalgia for that which has withstood the test of time and a thirst for relentless power. The iconic 45° V-Twin engine delivers power to every pattern of tread on those Dunlop® Tires, ensuring controlled speed in even the roughest of roads. And, just like you expect from the classic Softail®s, it preserves that longed-for “Hardtail” design by hiding the rear suspension under the fender. This makes your ride plenty comfortable, without sacrificing an ounce of vintage appeal. Finally, while it’s fast and beautiful, it’s also easy to ride. Between the pavement-gripping Dunlop® Tires, a new suspension, and improved front braking systems that require 40% less lever force, you’ll have maximum control at every corner.

The Softail® Deluxe™

Harley-Davidson® started with the engine, and built the rest of the bike around this powerful, dominant feature. The result: a glorious new Softail® Deluxe™. These motorcycles get their kick from that Twin Cam 103B™ engine that everyone’s been talking about. It borrows a little from every part of Harley®’s long history of designing motors, taking only the best parts and adding what’s needed for modern power. That’s why this beast delivers over 100 ft-lbs of torque to the pavement. While that’s certainly nice to have, it takes cleverly-designed control features to ride this thing with confidence. That’s where the ergonomic pullback handlebar comes in, making it easy to make use of that powerful engine on any road. The Breakout® is a great motorcycle for both experienced and new riders, because the handlebars blended with reliable torque control, a new suspension, and improved brakes make it an all-around rider-friendly design.

The Softail® Breakout®

With enough power to strike fear into the very pavement you ride on, a Harley-Davidson® Softail® Breakout® asserts itself as a dominant force on the road. The High Output Twin Cam 103B™ engine delivers massive torque to a massive rear tire, which measures in at 240mm. That’s a lot of tread to bring the engine’s strength to the asphalt, making others look at you enviously for your awe-striking power. But it’s not just performance. A Harley® wouldn’t live up to it’s name without careful attention to style. The Breakout® satisfies this attentiveness everywhere, from the smallest component to the most minute detail. This lets you ride with that classic intensity that’s inspired Harley® riders for so long. On top of that, you’ll of course be comfortable. With a two-piece saddle bringing you lower to the ground, you’ll have the poise and confidence you need for hours of intense riding. Pair that with a rear-pillion for better back support, and you won’t just be poised, but also relaxed, anywhere you go. Short rides and long rides alike spoil you with matchless power, incomparable comfort, and of course, the kind of style that you expect from a Harley-Davidson®.
