Harley Revolution Engine Parts

Many riders see Harley as a Heritage only brand, with bikes that don’t necessarily push the envelope in motorcycle technology. But the narrative isn’t really true about the MOCO. At times, they have stepped out of their comfort zone to create new and exciting models and even engines. The V-Rod with the Revolution engine is a perfect example of this. While the Revolution engine is indeed a V-Twin engine, that’s where most of the similarities with their other mills ends. The Revolution was a major departure from the traditional HD engines in so many ways. And because of that, it and the V-Rod models that it powered were very polarizing among Harley Riders.

Introduced in the 2002 V-Rod, the Revolution was designed through a partnership with Porsche Engineering Services. With the help from Porsche, they based the Revolution off of their VR1000 Superbike Racing engine. What they ended up with was the first HD engine to feature DOHC and liquid cooling, all in a 60-degree configuration. The Revolution is fueled through EFI, making precise tuning available through map tuners. Using a combination of rubber mounting and an internal counter balancer, the Revo churns power smoothly. The transmission is separate from the mill and is a five speed.

Though the Revolution and the V-Rod may have been discontinued for the 2018 model year and beyond, their advanced design still lives on. The new Street models sport the newer Revolution X engine which was based heavily on the original Revolution design. It has helped Harley move from a purely heritage based brand to a blend of heritage and performance. The Revolution in the VRSC models has helped draw more performance oriented riders to the Bar and Shield. And to this day, there are still many enthusiasts riding the V-Rods.
