H-D gives the Street Glide Special an Arctic Blast

2021 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special

Harley-Davidson overnight took the covers off a limited run of 2021 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special motorcycles featuring a handcrafted Arctic Blast Limited Edition paint scheme.

The Arctic Blast Limited Edition paint will be offered in a single colourway – metallic deep blue with bright blue strokes over a pearlescent white base.

Availability will be limited to 500 examples worldwide, each serialised on the fuel tank. There will be only eight such motorcycles available across Australia and New Zealand.

The special colour scheme commands a $7495 premium

Starting at $47,245 ride-away in Australia or $51,400 in NZ, the Artic Blast colourway commands an almost 8k price premium over the regular Street Glide Special.

The Arctic Blast Limited Edition paint is hand-applied by the artisans at Gunslinger Custom Paint in Golden, Colorado.

The Street Glide Special is a popular model in the Harley-Davidson line-up and one of our own favourites here at MCNews.com.au.

The motorcycle was revealed at the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

One of the mainstays of Harley’s well-established Touring range the Street Glide Special features a bat-wing fairing that houses an impressive instrumentation set-up that combines retro with a modern Boom Box GTS infotainment system with colour touch screen, advanced navigation plus compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, hand and voice commands (when paired with compatible headset), and two-speaker audio is standard equipment.
