Harley-Davidson is returning manufacturing of the brand's Revolution Max engine to the United States after years of being produced in Thailand. Reshoring engine production is a significant supply chain decision, typically driven by some combination of cost, quality control and reducing exposure to international shipping and tariff uncertainty.
This move comes as Harley-Davidson reveals select new 2026 motorcycles shipping soon to authorised dealerships worldwide, part of a broader model-year refresh that industry observers note has left dealership lineups from both Harley and Indian looking stronger than in recent years, with new engines, colours and updated technology.
