Harley-Davidson® introduces the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST, a performance-driven touring motorcycle built for riders who demand power, control, and innovation. This model pushes the limits of Harley-Davidson® engineering with a high-output engine, advanced technology, and a lightweight, aggressive design. Every component serves a purpose, from the precision-tuned suspension to the aerodynamic fairing.
High-Output Power with the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO Engine
The Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO engine produces 127 horsepower and 145 ft-lb of torque, making it the most powerful factory-installed engine in Harley-Davidson®’s lineup. A high-performance camshaft, Heavy Breather Intake, and increased rev limit of 5,900 rpm create an aggressive powerband. This engine responds immediately to throttle input, delivering smooth yet forceful acceleration.
Efficiency meets strength in this powertrain, with precision cooling enhancing durability. The increased air intake allows for a more efficient burn, resulting in improved throttle response and optimized fuel efficiency. Performance is the foundation of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® ST, and the Milwaukee-Eight® 121 HO engine defines that performance.
Responsive Suspension for Precision Handling
SHOWA® 47mm inverted front forks ensure stability and control, providing 4.6 inches of travel for a refined ride. Fully adjustable compression, rebound, and preload settings allow riders to adapt the suspension to road conditions and riding style. The inverted fork design reduces flex under braking and improves overall responsiveness.
Dual outboard SHOWA® Remote Reservoir shocks provide three inches of travel in the rear. These performance shocks are positioned between the saddlebags and rear fender, preventing excessive heat buildup and maintaining consistent damping. The advanced suspension system keeps the motorcycle composed through corners, maintaining traction and rider confidence at high speeds.
Lightweight Components for Maximum Control
Forged carbon fiber enhances both aesthetics and functionality. A front fender crafted from this material reduces weight while maintaining durability. The reduced mass at the front of the motorcycle sharpens the steering response.
Lightweight cast aluminum wheels contribute to improved handling by reducing unsprung weight. These wheels are engineered for performance, supporting aggressive riding without sacrificing ride quality. Dual floating brake rotors efficiently dissipate heat, ensuring reliable stopping power under heavy braking.
Titanium mufflers optimize exhaust flow while reducing overall weight. The lightweight construction of these components enhances acceleration, providing a balance between strength and reduced mass. These mufflers also create a deep, aggressive rumble that amplifies the riding experience.
Ergonomic Design for Rider Comfort
A lightweight solo seat provides firm support, keeping the rider planted during acceleration and cornering. The steep backrest design offers lower-back support, reducing fatigue during long rides. This seat prioritizes performance-focused ergonomics while maintaining the comfort necessary for extended touring.
A Moto-Bar mounted on tall risers allows for adjustability, ensuring riders find their ideal riding position. This setup provides a direct connection between the rider and the motorcycle, improving control and handling feedback. The Flat-Out Bar, a minimalist engine guard, offers added protection in low-speed tip-over situations.
Advanced Technology with a 12.3-inch TFT Display
A high-resolution 12.3-inch TFT display integrates seamlessly with the Skyline™ OS. This display presents all essential riding information, including speed, RPM, fuel level, and navigation, in a clear and accessible format. The interface features real-time traffic and weather overlays, keeping riders informed during their journeys.
The Rockford Fosgate® Stage II audio system provides premium sound quality, delivering a high-fidelity listening experience. Riders can adjust audio settings directly from the touchscreen, ensuring easy access to music and communications without distraction.
Customizable Performance with Multiple Ride Modes
Riders have access to eight ride modes designed to enhance control and adaptability. These modes fine-tune throttle response, traction control, and braking sensitivity to match various road conditions.
Track and Track+ modes provide aggressive settings for high-performance riding. These modes optimize acceleration, braking, and handling to maximize the motorcycle’s capabilities. Each mode offers a distinct riding experience, giving riders the ability to adjust performance based on their preferences.
Compact Mini-Boards for Control and Comfort
Mini-boards balance comfort and functionality by providing ample foot support without limiting lean angles. These footboards allow riders to maintain proper positioning during aggressive riding while ensuring all-day comfort on long rides. The compact design ensures unobstructed control without adding unnecessary bulk to the motorcycle’s frame.
