The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is a motorcycle built with direct influence from the brand’s competitive dominance in the King of the Baggers™ series. Limited to only 131 units, it combines aerospace-grade materials with advanced engineering to deliver exceptional performance in a production motorcycle. Its serialized riser clamp certifies its exclusivity, while its design, suspension, braking systems, and electronic technologies create a machine ready for both the track and the street. Every feature is engineered for purpose, with a focus on reducing weight, maximizing strength, and increasing rider control.
Milwaukee-Eight® 131: Engineered for Maximum Output
The Screamin' Eagle® 131 Powertrain is the most powerful Milwaukee-Eight® engine Harley-Davidson® has installed in a production model. It delivers 153 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque, reaching a redline of 6,500 RPM. CNC-ported heads, upgraded internals, and the SE8-550 camshaft allow efficient combustion and airflow while maintaining stability at high revolutions. This combination ensures acceleration that is responsive and consistent across the RPM range.
The intake system is designed to complement the engine’s output. Its 68 mm throttle body manages airflow with precision, while the CNC-machined aluminum intake manifold minimizes weight without compromising durability. The Screamin’ Eagle® High Flow air filter enhances the intake hiss while keeping performance reliable during extended operation. Together, these components form a system that balances aggressive performance with engineered efficiency.
The Akrapovič titanium exhaust system was co-developed with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing to further reduce weight and improve throttle response. Titanium header pipes, carbon fiber shields, and a titanium muffler collectively shed more than 10 pounds compared with standard Milwaukee-Eight® exhaust systems. In addition to improved durability and reduced mass, the system delivers an exhaust rumble optimized for performance while remaining compliant with emissions standards in all 50 states.
Racing Transmission Designed for Durability
The Screamin’ Eagle® Racing King 6 Transmission provides durability and consistency under competitive riding conditions. Shot-peened gears and shafts increase resistance to stress and wear, ensuring the transmission holds up during repeated high-speed shifts. Back-cut shift dogs lock gears securely under load, which prevents missed shifts or disengagement during acceleration. This design ensures that the transmission responds with precision in every gear, supporting the engine’s high-performance output during both racing and demanding road conditions.
Öhlins Suspension and Billet Aluminum Swingarm
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR uses race-spec suspension to provide stability and control. At the front, 43 mm Öhlins FGR inverted forks deliver improved feedback and handling accuracy. At the rear, dual Screamin’ Eagle® Öhlins Remote Reservoir shocks increase ride height by two inches, improving lean angles and enabling sharper cornering capability. This combination ensures the motorcycle maintains balance and agility in both track-level performance scenarios and technical road conditions.
The billet aluminum swingarm is another key element of the chassis. Machined from a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum to a final weight of 18 pounds, it reduces unsprung weight and improves suspension responsiveness. By minimizing mass without reducing strength, the swingarm allows the suspension to function with greater precision. Together with cast aluminum wheels designed for reduced weight, the chassis contributes to consistent cornering stability and improved suspension efficiency.
Brembo® Braking with MotoGP-Grade Components
Braking technology on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR draws from MotoGP performance. The front system consists of Brembo® GP4-RX CNC calipers with four 32 mm pistons paired with 320 mm T-Drive rotors. The calipers are nickel-plated for durability, and the rotors are designed to maintain efficiency under high temperatures. At the rear, a four-piston Brembo® caliper and 300 mm rotor complete the system.
This braking configuration provides consistent stopping capability in high-speed conditions. The system is engineered for predictable modulation, enabling riders to brake later into corners and maintain control during rapid deceleration. By integrating advanced braking performance into the overall chassis design, the motorcycle achieves both stopping power and balanced handling.
Ergonomics and Structural Design
Rider ergonomics are developed from competitive racing requirements. The solo seat with pommel, co-developed with Saddlemen®, raises the rider by one inch for improved mid-control ergonomics. The bolster secures the rider under acceleration, while the pommel provides stability during heavy braking. Carbon fiber construction ensures the seat remains lightweight while maintaining durability.
Billet aluminum mid controls replace traditional footboards, improving rider position for aggressive handling. These controls enhance efficiency in braking and shifting while allowing greater lean angles. Cast aluminum wheels, finished in gloss black and etched with the CVO™ RR logo, reduce mass and provide structural strength without excess weight.
Externally, the motorcycle is finished in Harley-Davidson® Racing Orange with black and white accents, combined with visible carbon fiber weave under a clear coat. The serialized riser clamp distinguishes each unit, highlighting its exclusivity and connection to the Harley-Davidson® factory race program.
Rider Technology and Infotainment
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR integrates electronic technologies developed through racing. Nine selectable ride modes allow adjustment of throttle response, braking balance, traction control, and ABS. Track Mode, developed in collaboration with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing rider Kyle Wyman, is optimized for closed-course use. Track Plus Mode further reduces rider aid intervention, giving advanced riders direct control with minimal electronic assistance.
The motorcycle features a 12.3-inch Skyline™ OS touchscreen, the most advanced display offered on a Harley-Davidson® model. The interface includes wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® connectivity, and integrated navigation. Over-the-air updates keep the system current, while its large size ensures visibility and usability during riding.
Audio performance is managed by a Rockford Fosgate® Stage III system, delivering 500 watts of output through 6.5-inch, 3-way fairing speakers. Engineered for clarity at speed, this system ensures high-quality audio performance that complements the motorcycle’s advanced design.
Lighting and Visibility
Signature LED lighting is integrated into the bodywork to enhance visibility and complement the aerodynamic design. The lighting system improves road visibility and emphasizes the race-focused profile of the motorcycle. This combination provides both functional safety and alignment with the Harley-Davidson® signature design identity.
Rider Safety Enhancements and Cornering Technologies
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR incorporates Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements to maintain control during variable riding conditions. The Anti-lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during urgent stops. Electronic Linked Braking distributes braking effort between the front and rear wheels to enhance efficiency. Traction Control manages wheel spin during acceleration, while the Drag-Torque Slip Control System prevents rear wheel slip during abrupt deceleration or downshifts. Vehicle Hold Control assists in managing starts on inclines, while the Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts the rider to irregular tire pressure.
Cornering-enhanced versions of these technologies adapt to lean angles and lateral forces. Cornering ABS, Cornering ELB, Cornering TCS, and Cornering DSCS maintain stability when the motorcycle is leaned, adjusting systems to ensure consistent performance through turns. These technologies combine to support precise and controlled riding in demanding conditions.
