Ubisoft has announced that The Crew 2 will feature Harley-Davidson as a result of a partnership with the iconic motorcycle brand. The game will feature a number of exclusive motorcycles as result. First to appear in the game will be a Harley-Davidson Iron 833, a motorcycle designed with bare-knuckled minimalism and a garage-built style in mind. More designs will be revealed in the run up to release.
