Engine and Performance
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine features liquid-cooled heads for improved heat management. It has a displacement of 117 cubic inches, a 10.3:1 compression ratio, and utilizes Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) for precise fuel delivery. The engine is equipped with a 2-1-2 dual exhaust system with tapered mufflers, providing enhanced power and torque for improved performance.
Chassis and Handling
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® features a front suspension with dual bending valve forks. The rear suspension includes emulsion technology and hand-adjustable preload. Riders can fine-tune the suspension to accommodate passenger weight or cargo, ensuring consistent handling and ride quality. Cast aluminum wheels, measuring 19 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear, provide strength and reduce unsprung weight, improving cornering and maneuverability.
Aerodynamics and Design
The sharknose fairing defines the aerodynamics of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide®. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were utilized to optimize the fairing design, reducing wind resistance and helmet buffeting.
LED lighting systems enhance visibility and safety. The headlights deliver powerful illumination for nighttime riding, while integrated LED turn signals and taillights ensure clear communication with other road users. The one-piece seat is ergonomically designed for long-distance comfort and features high-quality materials for durability.

The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display serves as the central interface for navigation, infotainment, and system settings. The display is user-friendly and visible under various lighting conditions. Bluetooth® connectivity allows riders to link smartphones for hands-free calls and media streaming.
Traction control maintains grip in varying road conditions. Cornering enhanced ABS improves braking stability in turns. The drag-torque slip control system minimizes rear-wheel lockup during deceleration. Vehicle hold control simplifies starts on inclines.
