At first it seemed to be reserved for the United States only, but today Motorfreaks received confirmation that Harley-Davidson’s Screamin’ Eagle 135 Stage IV Performance Crate Engine will also be available in the Benelux. Although it does have to be deep in the pockets.
In case you missed it last week, with the launch of the Screamin’ Eagle 135 Stage IV Performance Crate Engine, Harley-Davidson released the biggest V-twin ever. The numbers: 130 horsepower, 194 Nm of torque and that from a displacement of 135 cubic inches, or 2,212cc according to our metric system.
Developed and tested by Harley-Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the Screamin’ Eagle 135 Stage IV Performance Crate Engine is essentially a high-performance Milwaukee-Eight V-twin.
In addition to the engine, Harley also offers the new wireless Screamin’ Eagle Pro Street Performance Tuner, the only kit available that gets the most out of the 135ci V-twin while meeting US emission standards and under warranty. . According to Harley, the block has been developed to drive full throttle at high speed and to be able to deliver instant power from revs to overtake.
The numbers don’t lie: Harley claims a maximum torque of no less than 194 Nm at 3,500 rpm and a top power of 130 hp at 5,500 rpm. That’s about 28% more torque and 41% more power than the Milwaukee-Eight 117. How they achieved that can be read in this article.
When asked, we were confirmed that the block would only be reserved for the American market and would therefore not be available in the Netherlands, but today the message came that the block is still available in Europe – and therefore meets the strict Euro5 emission requirements.
However, the Screamin’ Eagle 135 Stage IV Performance Crate Engine doesn’t come cheap. The block costs no less than € 10,537 and that does not include assembly. Although we do think that cost will be a pittance of the price of the block. The block can only be ordered through the Harley dealer. More info on the Harley-Davidson site.
