The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® integrates refined mechanical design with modern technology to provide a touring motorcycle built for controlled performance and rider comfort. This model combines aerodynamic innovation, a powerful engine, and integrated electronics to deliver a precise, responsive ride tailored for long-distance travel.
Engineered for Responsive Power and Control
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is equipped with a Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine producing 130 ft-lb of torque and delivering 105 horsepower. The engine’s liquid cooling system manages temperature efficiently to maintain consistent power output during extended rides or hot weather conditions. Rear shocks use asymmetric emulsion technology, allowing quick suspension adjustments that enhance stability and rider comfort.
Aerodynamics Designed to Minimize Fatigue
The fixed Sharknose fairing is engineered using computational fluid dynamics to optimize airflow and reduce wind buffeting and resistance. This frame-mounted design improves handling stability and reduces vibration transmitted to the rider. Integrated LED lighting provides effective illumination and visibility while maintaining aerodynamic integrity. The 18-inch rear and 19-inch front cast-aluminum wheels, offered in black or chrome finishes, contribute to stable handling and traction. The one-piece seat prioritizes ergonomic support for long-distance touring, while adjustable handlebars allow for precise rider positioning to reduce fatigue.
Integrated Digital Control for Precision Riding
A 12.3-inch color TFT touchscreen display consolidates navigation, infotainment, and diagnostics. The interface remains clear and easy to read under various lighting conditions and supports Bluetooth® connectivity for phone, audio, and GPS controls. Multiple ride modes adjust throttle mapping, traction control, and ABS settings to accommodate changing road and weather conditions. Riders can also create custom ride profiles for personalized control. The high-fidelity audio system uses fairing-mounted speakers to deliver clear sound across various speeds.
Comprehensive Rider Safety Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® incorporates multiple rider assistance technologies that operate automatically to enhance safety and stability. Anti-lock braking prevents wheel lock during sudden stops, while electronic linked braking balances brake pressure for optimized performance. Traction control limits rear wheel slip during acceleration, and drag-torque slip control manages rear wheel slip and lock-up during deceleration or downshifting. Vehicle hold control keeps the motorcycle stationary on inclines, aiding in hill starts. Tire pressure monitoring alerts riders to changes in tire inflation. Cornering-specific enhancements in braking and traction control adjust for lean angles to maintain stability through curves.
Fuel Efficiency and Ergonomic Specifications
With an estimated 44 miles per gallon fuel economy, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® offers a balance between performance and efficiency suitable for long-distance travel. The seat height of 26.6 inches with rider weight considered provides a stable center of gravity, enhancing control at varied speeds. Factory paint options include advanced metallic and color-shifting finishes such as Mystic Shift, offering both durability and dynamic appearance.
