The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is a precision-engineered performance bagger developed from Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing. With only 131 units produced, this motorcycle features a serialized riser clamp, securing its exclusivity. It is finished in Harley-Davidson® Racing Orange with black and white accents. Exposed carbon fiber weave under a deep gloss clear coat highlights its racing DNA.
Power and Performance
The Screamin' Eagle® 131 Powertrain delivers 153 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque at 6,500 RPM. This factory-installed V-twin engine includes CNC-ported heads, Screamin’ Eagle® internals, and an SE8-550 camshaft, identical to those used in H-D® Factory Race Team Road Glide®s. It utilizes Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) for consistent fuel delivery. The Screamin' Eagle® Racing King 6 Transmission is built for durability, featuring shot-peened gears and shafts for increased strength and back-cut shift dogs to ensure precise gear engagement under load. It is designed to withstand extreme riding conditions while delivering smooth, reliable shifts. The high-performance intake system includes a 68mm throttle body, a CNC-machined aluminum intake manifold, and a washable Screamin’ Eagle® High Flow air filter, improving power delivery and airflow. The intake system enhances throttle response and provides a deep, aggressive intake rumble.
Racing Components
The Akrapovič full titanium 2-into-1 exhaust, developed with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing, reduces weight by over 10 pounds while maintaining 50-state emissions compliance. The system includes lightweight header pipes, carbon fiber heat shields, and a titanium muffler, contributing to increased power output and an aggressive exhaust rumble. The carbon fiber bodywork and billet aluminum components reduce weight and improve strength, optimizing aerodynamics and durability. The billet aluminum components enhance structural rigidity while minimizing unnecessary weight, resulting in improved overall performance.
Handling and Braking
The race-spec Öhlins suspension raises ride height by 2 inches, increasing lean angles. The 43mm Öhlins FGR inverted forks and dual Screamin’ Eagle® Öhlins Remote Reservoir shocks provide sharp handling and stability, allowing for precise cornering and enhanced control at high speeds. The billet aluminum swingarm, machined from a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum, reduces weight to 18 pounds, enhancing chassis response and improving suspension feedback. This design improves stability and overall handling performance. Braking is handled by Brembo™ GP4-RX CNC calipers with four 32mm pistons and 320mm Brembo™ T-Drive front rotors. A four-piston Brembo™ rear caliper and 300mm rotor complete the braking system, ensuring superior stopping power under high-speed conditions.
Rider-Focused Design
The billet aluminum midfoot controls replace traditional footboards, increasing lean angles and control. These controls provide better foot placement, allowing for improved riding ergonomics at high speeds. The race-inspired solo seat with pommel, co-developed with Saddlemen®, raises the rider by 1 inch and provides bracing under braking and acceleration. The seat design enhances control and comfort, keeping the rider securely positioned during aggressive riding. The cast aluminum wheels, finished in gloss black, minimize unsprung weight. A CVO™ RR logo on the front wheel reinforces its racing pedigree. The lightweight wheels improve suspension response and cornering precision.
Technology and Infotainment
The Skyline™ OS infotainment system includes a 12.3-inch full-color TFT display with an intuitive interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth®, and embedded navigation keep riders connected, while over-the-air updates ensure system longevity. The Rockford Fosgate® Stage III audio system delivers 500 watts through 6.5-inch, 3-way fairing speakers, optimized for high-speed clarity. The system ensures powerful, high-output sound performance. The signature LED lighting system enhances visibility and aerodynamic efficiency. The LED headlamp and tail light are seamlessly integrated to improve nighttime visibility and provide a modern, aggressive look.
Rider Safety and Control
The Track and Track Plus Ride Modes optimize throttle response, braking, and traction control. Track Mode fine-tunes the bike for high-performance riding, while Track Plus Mode minimizes electronic aids for advanced riders seeking full control. The Rider Safety Enhancements include Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Linked Braking (ELB), and Traction Control System (TCS) to improve overall control. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) helps prevent rear-wheel slip during aggressive deceleration. Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) assists with hill starts, keeping the brakes engaged until the rider is ready to move. Additional cornering safety features include Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS), Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking (C-ELB), and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS). These systems adjust braking force and traction based on lean angle to maintain stability during cornering. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides real-time alerts if tire pressure deviates from optimal levels, ensuring peak performance and safety.
