DescriptionTraditional Styling with Contemporary Technology

The Vulcan® 1700 Nomad™ ABS may look like it rolled out of the history books but at its heart the Nomad is a thoroughly modern motorcycle. Outfitted with a full-sized windshield hard saddlebags floorboards backrest and standard cruise control this Vulcan has everything needed to both stand out on the boulevard and follow the front wheel towards distant horizons. The low-slung seat makes maneuvering a breeze at the local bike night while the shape and padding of the saddle and pillion keep the rider and passenger comfortable during long days on the open road. Through it all the pulse of the 1700 cc V-twin wraps itself around your soul enticing you to keep on riding long after the sunset has stopped reflecting in the Nomad’s silky two-tone paint.

the throttle grip is still connected to cables so the feel at the grip is the sameTwisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motorAccurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)APS and TPS send 2 sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failureCruise ControlCruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebarCruise control can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mphPressure on the brake lever clutch lever or rear brake pedal will automatically disengage the cruise control as will manually rolling off the throttle6-speed Transmission / Final Drive6-speed transmission with positive neutral finder5th and 6th are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds28 mm carbon fiber final drive belt has a tensile strength that’s 40 percent greater compared to current Kevlar belts allowing the Vulcan 1700 to use a slim belt only 2 mm wider than the Kevlar unit on the Vulcan 900Belt drive system is quiet efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chainLight Handling ChassisThe frame features a short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverabilityLightweight and slim the frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal.

Designed to complement the riders’ brake inputs the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency.Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when neededFor increased controllability in tight corners and when executing U-turns K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mphABS function is disengaged at speeds below 4 mphDual 300 mm front disc brakes with 4-piston calipers and a 2-piston rear disc brake for sure powerful stops
