The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® in Harrison, AR

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is designed for long-distance touring with advanced aerodynamics, a powerful engine, and integrated rider technology. This motorcycle includes a redesigned sharknose fairing, a Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, and a suite of electronic ride controls.

Sharknose Fairing

The frame-mounted sharknose fairing is engineered using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to improve airflow and minimize helmet buffeting. A revised vent system allows for better airflow control, reducing rider fatigue on extended rides. The fairing reduces wind resistance and directs airflow efficiently around the rider. The new aerodynamic design contributes to greater stability, especially at highway speeds.

LED Signature Lighting

LED signature lighting enhances visibility in various riding conditions. The lighting system provides improved illumination for night riding and increases conspicuity in traffic. Integrated turn signals contribute to the streamlined design. The LED headlamps provide a broader, brighter field of vision, ensuring better visibility in low-light conditions.

Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Engine

The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine provides high displacement and torque for responsive acceleration. Liquid-cooled cylinder heads regulate engine temperature under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures. The 117 cubic inch displacement ensures strong power delivery across all gears. The improved fuel injection system ensures a smoother throttle response and optimized fuel efficiency.

Exhaust System

The exhaust system is tuned for enhanced performance and a deep, rich exhaust rumble. The system reduces heat exposure to the rider while maintaining compliance with noise and emissions standards. The design contributes to engine efficiency and optimized backpressure. A revised catalytic converter enhances emissions control while maintaining optimal airflow.

Suspension System

The rear suspension includes asymmetric emulsion rear shocks with a hydraulic preload adjuster. The front suspension utilizes a dual bending valve fork for consistent damping performance. The motorcycle features a lightweight chassis with optimized weight distribution to improve stability and control. The improved shock absorber system ensures a smooth ride over varying road conditions.

Wheels and Tires

Cast-aluminum wheels, with a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear, reduce unsprung weight and enhance handling. The wheels are designed for durability and high-performance touring. The tire profile improves traction and stability in both wet and dry conditions. The high-performance touring tires are engineered for longer tread life and enhanced grip on different road surfaces.

Ride Modes

The ride control system includes three standard ride modes: Road, Sport, and Rain. Each mode adjusts throttle response, traction control, and ABS settings for specific riding conditions. The customizable ride mode allows riders to configure performance settings based on personal preferences. The updated electronic throttle control ensures smooth transitions between ride modes.

Rider Safety Enhancement

The traction control system enhances stability during acceleration by modulating engine power. The system improves grip on varying road surfaces and prevents excessive wheel spin in low-traction conditions. The lean-sensitive traction control adapts to changes in rider input and road conditions. The cornering ABS system optimizes braking performance in turns by adjusting brake pressure based on lean angle and road conditions. The system enhances rider confidence and control during braking maneuvers. The linked braking system ensures balanced stopping power between both wheels. The drag-torque slip control system prevents excessive rear-wheel slip when downshifting aggressively. The system improves control during deceleration and enhances overall ride stability. The improved slip control reduces rear-wheel chatter during aggressive braking.

Infotainment System

The 12.3-inch touchscreen color TFT display provides access to navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. The user interface is designed for quick and intuitive interaction. The infotainment system includes integrated speakers within the fairing for clear audio output. Bluetooth® connectivity allows riders to sync mobile devices for hands-free communication, media playback, and voice commands. The updated system features Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, offering seamless smartphone integration.

Seat and Ergonomics

The one-piece seat provides support for long-distance rides. The redesigned seat contour supports better weight distribution, reducing pressure points and improving long-term comfort. Handlebars feature an adjustable range of 27 degrees to accommodate different rider positions. The updated seat material enhances durability and comfort.

Saddlebags and Storage

The saddlebags provide ample storage for gear and personal items. The integrated locking system secures contents and allows for quick access. 

Fuel Tank Capacity

The fuel tank capacity supports long-range touring by reducing the frequency of refueling stops. The design ensures efficient fuel management while maintaining a streamlined profile. The updated fuel gauge provides more precise readings.

Factory Paint Options

The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is available in seven factory paint options, including the Factory Custom Mystic Shift colorway. The paint finish transitions between multiple shades depending on lighting conditions. The protective clear coat enhances longevity and maintains the motorcycle's appearance over time. The improved multi-layer paint process ensures a deeper, richer finish.

Braking System

The brakes with standard ABS ensure controlled braking performance. The braking system is designed to prevent wheel lockup and improve stopping distances on various surfaces. The electronic braking system distributes braking force optimally between the front and rear wheels. The updated brake pad composition enhances durability and fade resistance.

Vehicle Hold Control

The Vehicle Hold Control feature prevents rolling backward on inclines. The system provides stability during uphill starts and improves safety in stop-and-go traffic on inclines. The improved hill hold response time ensures seamless activation.
