Engine Room

Harley-Davidson Museum

The V-twin engine is the symbolic heart of the Harley-Davidson story. Matching and extending an existing design aesthetic, Roto created 2,000 square feet of fundamentally new interpretation and built a suite of new collection, graphic and interactive experiences, all in celebration of the Harley Davidson brand. Understanding the signature sound and feel of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and what makes it so iconic to riders and fans alike, requires an understanding of the engine configuration. Here, Roto created a suite of multisensory gadgets that bring the science, engineering and emotion of a V-twin to life.
