Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117 Engine Configuration
The 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® 3 Limited uses the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 117 engine with a displacement of 117 cubic inches. The engine uses a pushrod-operated overhead valve arrangement with hydraulic self-adjusting lifters and four valves per cylinder. The bore measures 4.075 inches, while the stroke measures 4.5 inches. The compression ratio is rated at 10.3:1.
The engine produces 129 ft-lb of torque at 3,250 rpm and 105 horsepower at 4,600 rpm. Harley-Davidson® uses Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection for fuel delivery. The lubrication system is a pressurized dry-sump design intended for consistent oil management during sustained operation. The air cleaner uses a washable synthetic felt construction. Exhaust routing consists of a 2-1-2 dual exhaust configuration.
The engine calibration supports low-rpm torque delivery and sustained highway performance. Variable Valve Timing technology adjusts valve timing characteristics across different engine speeds to support power distribution throughout the operating range.
Touring-Oriented Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain uses a chain-driven primary system with a 34/46 ratio and a belt-driven final drive using a 30/70 ratio. The transmission is a 6-Speed Cruise Drive® unit equipped with reverse functionality. The reverse system operates electrically through handlebar-mounted controls, supporting low-speed maneuvering and parking operations.
Gear ratios are configured for touring use. First gear carries a 10.534 overall ratio, while second gear is rated at 7.302. Third gear uses a 5.423 ratio, fourth gear uses 4.392, fifth gear is rated at 3.742, and sixth gear operates at 3.000. These ratios support low-speed launch capability while maintaining reduced engine speed during highway travel.
The motorcycle uses a mechanically actuated 10-plate wet, Assist and Slip clutch. The clutch system is designed to reduce lever effort and manage rear wheel behavior during downshifting. The wet clutch configuration also supports heat management during extended riding sessions and stop-and-go operation.
Structural Engineering and Chassis Components
The 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® 3 Limited uses a mild steel frame with a square-section backbone and twin downtube construction. The swingarm is manufactured from permanent mold cast aluminum. The chassis configuration is intended to support the weight distribution requirements associated with the trike platform and integrated luggage storage.
The front suspension consists of a 49 mm dual bending valve fork with 4.6 inches of travel. Rear suspension uses a hand-adjustable emulsion system with 3.5 inches of travel. The rear suspension adjustment allows load compensation for passenger and cargo configurations.
The motorcycle rides on Gloss Black/Machined 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels. The front wheel diameter measures 19 inches with a width of 3.5 inches. Rear wheel diameter measures 18 inches with a width of 7 inches. Tire specifications include a Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series D408F front tire in 130/60B19 M/C 61H specification and a TK100 rear tire in P215/45R18 83T specification.
Integrated Braking Systems and Rider Assistance Technologies
The braking system combines hydraulic hardware with electronic control technologies. The front braking assembly uses dual floating rotors paired with fixed four-piston 32 mm calipers. The front rotor diameter measures 11.8 inches with a thickness of 0.197 inches. The rear braking system uses a fixed rotor with an integrated park brake and a floating 36 mm piston caliper. Rear rotor diameter also measures 11.8 inches, while rotor thickness measures 0.276 inches.
Anti-lock Braking System functionality is standard. Electronic Linked Braking is also integrated into the motorcycle’s control systems. Traction Control System functionality manages wheel slip during acceleration. Drag-torque Slip Control System technology assists during downshifting by monitoring rear wheel behavior under engine braking conditions.
The motorcycle also includes Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements. Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System, Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking, Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System, and Cornering Drag-torque Slip Control System are all integrated into the platform. These systems use motorcycle dynamic data to adjust intervention characteristics during turning operations.
Electrical Architecture and Lighting Systems
The 2026 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® 3 Limited uses a sealed maintenance-free 12-volt battery rated at 28 amp-hours and 405 cold cranking amps. Charging is handled by a three-phase 48-amp system rated at 600 watts at 13 volts and 2,000 rpm, with a maximum output of 625 watts.
Engine starting is managed through a 1.6 kW electric starter system with solenoid shift starter motor engagement. The motorcycle uses LED lighting throughout major exterior systems. LED headlamps, LED tail and stop lamps, LED front signal lights, and LED rear turn signals are all standard equipment.
LED fog lamps are integrated into the lower fairings to support visibility in reduced-light conditions. The lighting configuration is intended to provide improved illumination efficiency and lower electrical demand compared to conventional lighting systems.
The motorcycle also includes a 15-watt USB-C power outlet located in the media storage compartment. This outlet supports charging and device connectivity during travel.
