The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is built for those who demand high-performance touring with cutting-edge technology and legendary styling. Featuring the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, Sharknose fairing, and advanced rider technology, this bike offers superior power, aerodynamic efficiency, and an enhanced riding experience.
Performance & Engineering
Designed for unmatched power and handling, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® comes equipped with a 117 cubic-inch Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin engine, delivering 130 ft-lb of torque with a peak of 105 horsepower at 4600 rpm. Its liquid-cooled heads help manage heat for consistent performance, while the six-speed transmission ensures smooth power delivery across all gears. The lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, with a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear, contribute to enhanced stability and agility. Fuel efficiency reaches 44 miles per gallon, allowing for longer rides without frequent stops. Quick-adjust rear emulsion shocks provide customizable comfort and control, ensuring a smooth ride no matter the terrain.
Aerodynamic Sharknose Fairing & Comfort Features
The redesigned Sharknose fairing, developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), enhances aerodynamic efficiency and reduces helmet buffeting, providing a more stable and comfortable ride. The one-piece seat design seamlessly integrates into the bike’s profile while offering superior long-distance comfort. Adjustable handlebars with 27 degrees of adjustability allow riders to find the perfect riding position. A range of seven premium factory paint options includes the standout Mystic Shift, which changes colors from gunmetal to purple to blue and finally to orange depending on lighting conditions.
Technology & Infotainment
Built for modern touring, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, providing a bright and clear interface for navigation, infotainment, and bike settings. The new Skyline™ OS ensures a seamless user experience, making it easier than ever to access key functions. Riders can enjoy Apple CarPlay®, available in both wireless and wired modes, for hands-free access to calls, music, and apps. A powerful in-fairing audio system includes two 5.25-inch speakers, delivering 50 watts per channel for crystal-clear sound, even at high speeds. USB-C connectivity allows for seamless integration with smartphones and external media, ensuring riders stay connected wherever the road takes them.
Customizable Ride Modes & Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® adapts to every rider’s preference with three pre-programmed ride modes and an additional custom mode that adjusts throttle response, traction control, and ABS settings for a personalized experience. Harley-Davidson®’s Rider Safety Enhancements operate in the background, providing confidence and control in various riding conditions. Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) keeps the bike steady on inclines until the rider is ready to move, while the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) prevents excessive rear-wheel slip under sudden deceleration. The Cornering Enhanced ABS (C-ABS) and Traction Control (C-TCS) adjust braking and traction based on lean angle, offering more stability in curves. Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) intelligently distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels for optimal stopping power.
