Introduced for the 2012 model year, this Harley-Davidson nameplate arrived as an all-new addition to the Dyna family and was aimed at riders who wanted one motorcycle to cover both everyday cruising and light touring. Its identity was built around a convertible concept: quick-detach hard saddlebags and a detachable windshield let the bike shift from a stripped-down street cruiser to a more relaxed long-distance setup in moments. Harley-Davidson positioned it as a lighter, more manageable alternative to the larger full-dress touring models while still giving it a clear touring function.
Stylistically, it borrowed heavily from Harley-Davidson’s classic road-going heritage, with a retro-inspired front end, clean lines, and a look that echoed earlier FL-era touring bikes more than traditional Dyna styling. That mix of familiar Big Twin character and practical touring hardware made it a distinctive outlier in the lineup. It appealed to riders who liked the brand’s old-school visual cues but wanted detachable luggage and a windshield without moving up to a full-size touring platform.
The nameplate remained in production through the 2016 model year. It does not appear in Harley-Davidson’s 2017 model lineup, indicating the end of its initial production run rather than an ongoing series or a later revival.
