The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is a limited-production motorcycle engineered with competition-level specifications and materials. Developed from the same environment as Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing machines, it integrates advanced aerodynamics, high-strength construction, and track-derived systems into a street-legal performance bagger. Each model carries a serialized riser clamp that underscores its exclusivity, and with only 131 produced, it stands as one of the rarest motorcycles in the brand’s history.
Engine Performance and Powertrain
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR features the Screamin' Eagle® 131 Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin. This factory-installed unit produces 153 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque with a redline set at 6,500 RPM. The engine features CNC-ported cylinder heads, performance internals, and an SE8-550 camshaft to ensure maximum durability and output under high stress.
Airflow is optimized by a race-developed high-performance intake system. A 68 mm throttle body combined with a CNC-machined aluminum intake manifold supports consistent power delivery, while the Screamin' Eagle® High Flow air filter provides efficient filtration and aggressive intake resonance.
The powertrain is paired with the Screamin' Eagle® Racing King 6 Transmission. This unit is designed to manage the forces of competition, with shot-peened gears and shafts that increase strength. Back-cut shift dogs lock gear changes under load, ensuring reliable engagement at high speeds.
An Akrapovič full titanium exhaust system contributes to both weight savings and enhanced performance. The system includes lightweight 2-into-1 header pipes, carbon fiber shields, and a titanium muffler, collectively reducing more than 10 pounds compared to standard systems. Despite its race-oriented design, the exhaust remains compliant with emissions standards across all 50 states.
Advanced Chassis Engineering
The chassis of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR incorporates lightweight materials and components designed to reduce unsprung mass while improving responsiveness. A billet aluminum swingarm developed by Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing highlights this focus. Machined from a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum down to 18 pounds, the swingarm reduces weight while providing precision handling and improved suspension feedback.
Gloss black cast aluminum wheels further minimize unsprung mass while maintaining strength. Each wheel is laser-etched with the CVO™ RR logo, underscoring the race-bred engineering focus behind the design.
Suspension and Handling Systems
Suspension is managed by fully adjustable race-spec Öhlins equipment. The 43 mm FGR inverted forks at the front and Screamin’ Eagle® Öhlins remote reservoir shocks at the rear provide a raised ride height of two inches. This increase in geometry allows for sharper lean angles and greater stability in aggressive cornering situations. The suspension is engineered for precise feedback and consistent response across a wide range of riding conditions.
Billet aluminum mid-foot controls replace traditional touring footboards to deliver deeper lean angles and more refined rider input. This design enhances control during braking and shifting, particularly in dynamic cornering.
Braking Systems
The braking system is built to MotoGP standards with Brembo® GP4-RX CNC calipers featuring four 32 mm pistons. At the front, 320 mm T-Drive rotors provide high-efficiency stopping power, while the rear system includes a four-piston Brembo® caliper paired with a 300 mm rotor. This setup provides consistent braking control even under race-level demand.
Rider Interface and Ergonomics
The seating configuration is a race-inspired solo seat with pommel, developed with Saddlemen®. This component raises the rider by one inch, improving mid-control ergonomics. The rear bolster stabilizes the rider under acceleration, while the pommel provides bracing under braking. Constructed from carbon fiber, the seat reduces weight while maintaining strength.
Together with mid-mounted billet aluminum controls, the seat ensures a compact and controlled riding position, improving efficiency in high-performance conditions.
Technology and Electronics
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is equipped with a range of electronic systems designed to optimize performance on both track and road. Nine selectable ride modes are included, allowing adjustment of throttle response, ABS, traction control, and engine braking. Among them are Track Mode, which balances control and responsiveness, and Track Plus Mode, which minimizes rider aids for those seeking full command of the motorcycle.
A 12.3-inch Skyline™ OS touchscreen display represents the most advanced instrumentation available on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. It provides wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® connectivity, embedded navigation, and the ability to receive over-the-air updates. This system integrates modern convenience with competition-level riding functionality.
For audio performance, the Rockford Fosgate® Stage III system delivers 500 watts of power through 6.5-inch three-way fairing speakers. Designed to maintain clarity at high speeds, this audio system mirrors the precision and reliability standards applied to the motorcycle’s mechanical systems.
Signature LED lighting improves visibility and integrates with the aerodynamic profile of the motorcycle. The lighting design emphasizes performance readiness while ensuring practical safety for varying conditions.
Rider Safety Enhancements
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR includes Harley-Davidson® Rider Safety Enhancements, a suite of electronic aids designed to support traction and stability in demanding situations.
The standard ABS prevents wheel lock under heavy braking, while Electronic Linked Braking distributes braking force between front and rear wheels to optimize efficiency. A Traction Control System minimizes rear-wheel slip during acceleration, and Drag-Torque Slip Control reduces excessive slip during abrupt downshifts or throttle roll-off. Vehicle Hold Control stabilizes the motorcycle on inclines until the rider engages the throttle or brake. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides alerts to maintain correct pressure levels for both performance and tire longevity.
Additional cornering-specific systems enhance stability when the motorcycle is leaned. Cornering ABS adjusts brake pressure based on lean angle, Cornering Electronic Linked Braking proportionally manages brake force while turning, Cornering Traction Control regulates wheel spin in both straight-line and cornering acceleration, and Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control provides stability during downshifts in angled riding situations.
Precision Engineering and Materials
The motorcycle incorporates materials often used in aerospace and motorsport applications. Carbon fiber bodywork reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity. Billet aluminum components provide structural integrity at minimal mass, and the titanium exhaust system combines reduced weight with compliance and efficiency. These choices reflect an engineering approach designed to maximize performance while maintaining regulatory and durability standards.
Exclusive Design Features
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is finished in Harley-Davidson® Racing Orange, accented with black and white details. Exposed carbon fiber weave under a gloss clear coat emphasizes its performance DNA. Each model includes a serialized riser clamp, marking its limited status in Harley-Davidson® production.
