Aerodynamic Design for Enhanced Comfort
One of the standout features of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is its aerodynamic Sharknose fairing. Designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the fairing reduces wind buffeting, enhancing rider comfort and stability. The fairing is positioned to direct air away from the rider’s body, which minimizes the effects of wind resistance, especially during long-distance rides.
The fairing also houses integrated LED signature lighting that improves visibility while riding and enhances the bike’s overall visual appeal.
Powerful Milwaukee-Eight® 117 Engine
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, a liquid-cooled V-twin powerhouse that delivers 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque. The liquid-cooled heads ensure that the engine runs at optimal temperatures, even under challenging conditions.
The engine is paired with advanced fuel management systems that not only provide powerful performance but also enhance fuel efficiency. With a fuel economy of 44 miles per gallon, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is both powerful and efficient.
Handling and Suspension: Built for Stability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® incorporates asymmetric emulsion rear shocks that are adjustable for different rider weights and road conditions.
The 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, made from cast aluminum, contribute to the bike’s stability, providing enhanced control at both high and low speeds. These wheels are available in both black and chrome finishes, offering riders an option to suit their personal style.
Technology and Connectivity: A Modern Touch
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® integrates modern technology to enhance both the riding experience and rider safety. The centerpiece of the bike’s tech suite is the 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display. This high-resolution display offers crystal-clear visibility for navigation, infotainment, and diagnostics. The display integrates with the bike’s Skyline™ OS, providing a seamless connection for music, calls, and navigation via Bluetooth®.
The 12.3-inch touchscreen is customizable, allowing riders to personalize their display preferences, such as trip information, weather forecasts, and more. In addition, the touchscreen is designed to be responsive even in direct sunlight, ensuring readability in all lighting conditions.
The bike also comes equipped with three pre-programmed ride modes that adjust throttle mapping, traction control, and anti-lock braking systems. These modes allow riders to fine-tune their bike’s performance to suit specific riding conditions.
Rider Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® features Rider Safety Enhancements, a suite of technologies designed to enhance rider safety without intrusive intervention. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ensures that the wheels do not lock during heavy braking, maintaining control during emergency stops. Additionally, the Cornering Enhanced ABS system takes into account the bike’s lean angle, adjusting brake pressure accordingly during cornering.
The Traction Control System (TCS) is designed to prevent the rear wheel from slipping under acceleration, ensuring that power is transferred smoothly to the road.
The Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) helps manage excessive rear-wheel slip, a common issue when downshifting or reducing throttle abruptly.
Other safety features include the Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), which helps prevent rolling backward on hills, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts the rider to any changes in tire pressure that may affect performance or safety.
Custom Comfort and Ergonomics
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® features an adjustable handlebar system that allows riders to tailor the handlebar position for optimal comfort. With 27 degrees of adjustability, riders can easily fine-tune their setup for a more ergonomic riding position.
The one-piece seat design is also another example of the commitment to comfort.
