Reflex defensive rider system - Tri glide

[dpete]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and looking at trikes. HD vs GW, of course.

Coming from 2-wheel riding, I want to get the best safety I can.

I know the GW has ABS, and the new triglides have the reflex system with traction control and ABS.

is there any forum here that compares/contrasts these two bikes in terms of safety and wheel control?

what year did the triglide offer this technology?

Sorry, I can’t help, but I’m sure someone will soon. Welcome to TrikeTalk!

Go to https://www.triketalk.com/forum/forum.php - they have everything related to trikes - Harley - GW - Victory - Yamaha - kits - conversions - EVERYTHING

Don't forget Harley is a FACTORY model and GW is a kit. Check out warranty services and service while you are on the road.

I personally would not even consider anything but a factory model. If you don't want solid rear axle - forget Harley unless you get a conversion.

Good luck

I just came from 2 wheels as well. I considered conversion trikes. Of those prob Honda tops the list and ride. However , like mentioned already Harley is the only factory trike. I have had mine 1 monthand put on 1,600 miles. We love it. Also appealing to me was a more narrow rear wheelbase when compared to most conversions. The 2020 with the 114 has plenty of power. Harley Tri Glide also a good bit cheaper than the conventions i looked at. Hope this helps.

Danny..another factory 3-wheeler to consider is the Spyder. The 2020 RT Limited is really nice and comfortable... check it out!

p.s.. if you test drive one be aware that they have a very quick response on the throttle. Its fun!

Thanks for all of the replies. I will probably go for a factory trike.

HD or Can am. They are so different.

I want to study more on the dynamics of two rear vs two front tires. I do like the reflex ABS system on the HD, but I am not sure what year it was introduced. I cannot afford a new HD. I wish I could.

The only downside for rdrs is there is no hill brake for trikes, not that it is needed, but it is not offered. Welcome to three 🍻
