The film tells the story of a motorcycle club in the equator grappling with their moral values. The club's founder and leader, Johnny (Tom Hardy), rode a modified 1956 Harley-Davidson FLH motorcycle and became an inspiration for the limited edition Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide Revival 2024 motorcycle.
Reported by the company's website, March 1, an interesting behind-the-scenes story occurred when Harley-Davidson Motor Company CEO Jochen Zeitz and Vice President of Motorcycle Design and Creative Director Brad Richards visited the filming location for the film "The Bikeriders" in Cincinnati, Ohio. They not only observed the filming process, but also read the film script.
While reading Nichols' book adaptation, Richards felt deep admiration for Johnny, who he called a "good person in the club." This character represents former World War II soldiers who set up a motorcycle club to build communities, adventure with motorbikes for pleasure.
Although Johnny did not escape mistakes, he did not even hesitate to burn a local bar brutally after a brutal fight, Richards said, "He has principles, is classy, and if there are club members who deserve to be celebrated, that's him."
Upon his return to Milwaukee, Richards was still fascinated by Johnny's character and decided to sketch a Heritage Softail-based motorbike with a red-and-white "tilted line" scheme like Johnny's motorcycle. The scheme later became a limited-produced Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide Revival.

The Hydra-Glide Revival Edition is the fourth model in the "Icons Motorcycle Collection" collection and at the same time celebrates 75 years of using Hydra-Glide's front suspension design.
Although the design of the Hydra-Glide suspension was first introduced in 1949, overall the motor took a typical Harley-Davidson style from the mid-1990s. This can be seen from the use of red and white paint, as well as the graphic speedometer inspired by the 1954 to 1956 motorcycles.
In addition, Hydra-Glide Revival is also filled with chromes, ranging from emblems, rims, to air filters. The single Jok is coated in the skin with averted edge, white cheeks, and red stitches, and is equipped with a saddle bag that can be locked with a similar motif. Not to forget, this motor is also equipped with a windshield two-tone that can be removed.
As a special edition, only 1,750 units of Hydra-Glide Revival will be produced and there will be a special edition emblem on the motorcycle handlebar but the price has not been officially announced, and this special edition of the motor will be displayed attenuated Bike Week which runs from 2 to 9 March.
