The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® continues to serve as a benchmark in the touring category. This model has been developed with an emphasis on structural performance, ride consistency, and integrated control systems. Its visual design remains recognizable, anchored by a reshaped batwing fairing, while functional improvements target long-distance stability and day-to-day operability. With mechanical refinements, a focused user interface, and an updated chassis and electronics system, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® offers a purpose-built configuration for extended road travel.
Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Engine with Liquid-Cooling Integration
At the center of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin. This engine displaces 117 cubic inch and includes liquid-cooled cylinder heads. Thermal control is managed through a center-mounted radiator that maintains consistent engine temperatures during sustained rides. The motor produces strong low-end and mid-range torque, designed for touring applications where consistent acceleration and load handling are priorities.
Refined Aerodynamics with Batwing Fairing Redesign
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® maintains its iconic batwing fairing, but the structure has been updated using computational fluid dynamics. The fairing reshaping reduces head buffeting and directs airflow more efficiently around the rider. The fairing includes integrated LED lighting units that are recessed into the structure, improving forward visibility and maintaining a continuous profile from fairing to fender.
Lighting design is both functional and precise. The LED signature lighting supports visibility in early morning, overcast, and nighttime riding.
Suspension with Rear Shock Adjustability
The rear suspension system has been revised to include tool-free hydraulic preload adjustment. Riders can change suspension preload to suit passenger weight or cargo load. The front fork also uses a dual-bending valve design to support damping consistency across small and large road irregularities.
Suspension travel is optimized to prevent excessive squat or bottoming during hard braking or large bumps, especially during loaded conditions.
Ride Modes with Customization Capability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® includes three standard ride modes labeled Road, Sport, and Rain. These modes adjust engine response, engine braking, and traction control behaviors. A fourth mode is rider-configurable, allowing manual adjustment of system parameters. Each mode is accessed through the motorcycle's main infotainment system and enables rapid configuration changes based on surface condition, load, or speed range.
In Sport mode, throttle mapping is sharper with reduced intervention from stability systems. In Rain mode, throttle sensitivity and power delivery are softened. The configurable mode supports user-defined tuning for applications not covered by the standard profiles.
12.3-Inch TFT Touchscreen Display with Integrated Diagnostics
A 12.3-inch touchscreen display is positioned at the center of the dash. This display consolidates ride metrics, infotainment, navigation, and mechanical diagnostics into a single unit. Screen resolution is high enough to prevent glare under direct sunlight. The layout is customizable, and the interface responds to gloved touch inputs. A combination of analog and digital indicators provides clarity without redundancy.
The system replaces most manual gauges and standalone switches. Trip data, fuel range, tire pressure monitoring, and active ride mode status are presented in real-time. Riders can also configure screen sections to prioritize navigation, vehicle status, or media based on route type and preference.
Fairing-Mounted Audio System with 200-Watt Output
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® includes a four-channel audio amplifier rated at 200 watts. The amplifier distributes 50 watts to each speaker. The system is integrated into the batwing fairing to preserve visual alignment and weight distribution. The speakers are designed to maintain audio clarity during highway operation and include weather-resistant housings.
The amplifier is matched to the audio components and tuned for mid-frequency accuracy, ensuring consistent sound reproduction regardless of road speed or helmet type. All adjustments are made through the TFT interface, with equalizer settings customizable to rider preference.
Cornering Safety Enhancements with Lean-Angle Integration
Safety technologies in the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® are managed through the Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements package. The system uses vehicle sensors to adjust traction control, ABS response, and braking distribution in real time. The cornering ABS modulates brake pressure based on lean angle to prevent wheel lock during mid-turn deceleration. Linked braking coordinates front and rear brake pressure to balance stopping force across both wheels.
The traction control system adjusts engine torque output to maintain rear-wheel grip during throttle input, particularly on uneven or wet surfaces. Electronic slip control adds further assistance during deceleration, helping prevent rear-wheel hop or instability.
Contrast-Cut Wheels with Balanced Geometry
The motorcycle features a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear contrast-cut aluminum wheel set. These wheels are lightweight yet structurally rigid, contributing to steering accuracy and suspension feedback. The wheel dimensions support consistent lean initiation and maintain stable contact patches during extended cornering or lane transitions.
Paint Finishes and Trim Configurations
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® is available in a variety of paint options, including Iron Horse Metallic, Billiard Gray, and Atlas Silver Metallic. Each color can be paired with either chrome or black trim. The frame, engine casing, and exhaust components are coordinated with the selected trim package to maintain visual consistency across all touchpoints.
Paint finishes use a multi-layer process to increase durability against environmental exposure. Gloss, denim, and metallic effects are engineered for resistance to fading, abrasion, and chemical contact.
