The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® represents a modern touring motorcycle designed with advanced engineering and premium factory-installed features. Part of the Custom Vehicle Operations, or CVO™, lineup of Harley-Davidson®, this model brings together a high-output powertrain, refined suspension, advanced safety technology, and integrated connectivity. Its batwing fairing, detailed finishes, and specialized paint schemes combine with a suite of performance-driven components to create a model built for functionality and technical innovation.
Engine Power and Mechanical Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 V-Twin engine, which delivers 115 horsepower and 139 ft-lb of torque. This engine integrates variable valve timing that adjusts power delivery across the rpm range, ensuring smooth operation and consistent acceleration. Liquid-cooled cylinder heads stabilize engine temperature, while a high-flow exhaust system supports efficient combustion. The combination of these elements provides reliable output and a fuel economy of 45 miles per gallon, making the motorcycle capable of both long touring distances and responsive highway riding.
Suspension Components and Handling Dynamics
Handling is supported by a suspension system designed for adaptability and comfort. The model uses 47mm SHOWA® inverted front forks that maintain control on both highways and through fast turns. The rear suspension incorporates asymmetric shocks with quick preload adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune performance based on load requirements. This system works in tandem with lightweight cast wheels designed exclusively for this model and Brembo® braking components that add precision and reliability to every ride.
Advanced Design Integration
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® continues the reputation of Harley-Davidson® for meticulous design through premium finishes, paint schemes, and functional detailing. Each available paint option, including Raven Fade, Poison Berry, and Blue Streak, is paired with either chrome or scorched chrome finishes. Multi-layer application processes create depth and durability, and every scheme includes color-matched inserts to maintain continuity across components.
New cast wheels add a distinct visual identity while also reducing weight for improved performance. LED signature lighting replaces traditional protruding indicators, providing a streamlined and integrated appearance while maintaining visibility. The seat is designed to optimize rider comfort with a neutral spine position for long-distance touring.
Technology and Infotainment Systems
The model integrates a technology package that enhances both rider control and convenience. The Skyline™ OS infotainment system is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing intuitive navigation and seamless updates. Information is displayed on a 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen, comparable to systems found in luxury vehicles, and designed to remain clear in varying lighting conditions.
Selectable ride modes are easily accessible through the display, giving riders the ability to adjust the motorcycle’s performance characteristics to their preference. Audio capability is provided by the Harley-Davidson® Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate® Stage II system, integrated into the fairing and saddlebag speaker lids to deliver balanced and powerful audio across different environments.
Rider Safety and Control Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® incorporates a comprehensive set of safety enhancements designed to support rider confidence. The standard anti-lock braking system prevents wheel lock during urgent stops, while electronic linked braking distributes pressure between the front and rear wheels. Traction control reduces wheel spin during acceleration, and drag-torque slip control manages excessive rear-wheel slip caused by abrupt deceleration or downshifts. Vehicle hold control maintains brake pressure after the rider has released the lever or pedal, preventing unwanted rollback during starts on inclines. A tire pressure monitoring system alerts the rider to improper air pressure, promoting both performance and tire longevity.
The motorcycle also benefits from cornering-specific refinements. Cornering enhanced anti-lock braking calculates lean angle to adjust brake pressure, while cornering enhanced electronic linked braking adapts front and rear brake proportioning during cornering situations. Cornering enhanced traction control prevents excessive wheel spin under acceleration at lean, and cornering drag-torque slip control reduces the risk of rear-wheel slip when decelerating through turns. Each system is designed to function in the background, allowing the rider to maintain focus on the road.
Touring Comfort and Practical Efficiency
Touring comfort is achieved through a combination of aerodynamic design, ergonomic seating, and practical integration. The iconic batwing fairing has been reengineered with attention to aerodynamics, delivering smooth airflow and reducing rider fatigue during extended highway use. Large saddlebags provide storage capacity, while controls are positioned for straightforward operation. Lighting systems are fully integrated into the motorcycle’s design, ensuring clear visibility without sacrificing appearance.
