Disc brakes, belt drive and Brooks leather saddle (material also used for the grip strips) complete the Serial 1 specifications.

Serial 1 was developed by a satellite team of the American company, called Serial 1 Cycle Company, and its release on the market is expected in the spring of 2021. Harley does not want to miss the opportunity to enter a market estimated at over $ 15 billion in 2019, with an expected growth of over 6% from 2020 to 2025.
