The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra sets the standard for long-distance touring motorcycles. This model combines exceptional power, refined comfort, and modern technology, designed to keep riders in control and at ease over long stretches of road. With its superior engine performance, advanced safety systems, and carefully engineered design, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra delivers a touring experience that balances performance with comfort.
Engine Performance and Handling
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 engine, delivering 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque. Engineered for long-distance touring, this powerplant ensures smooth and consistent power delivery, even under full load conditions. Its performance is optimized across the entire RPM range, providing responsive throttle input and precise control.
Riders will appreciate the upgraded rear suspension, which utilizes SHOWA® dual outboard emulsion technology for a consistent and responsive ride. These shocks feature three inches of travel and can be adjusted quickly for preload via remote hydraulic settings.
Advanced Aerodynamics and Comfort Features
Aerodynamic considerations have been a major focus in the design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. The new clear windshield, now four inches taller than previous models, reduces helmet buffeting by up to 60%. This change is the result of extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and real-world wind tunnel testing.
The bike also features adjustable air deflectors mounted on the forks, designed to direct airflow away from the rider’s torso when desired, or to increase cooling airflow when opened. The new fairing lowers work in tandem with these air deflectors, improving both the aerodynamic efficiency and the overall visual flow of the bike.
For long-distance touring, comfort is a priority. The two-up comfort seat on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra has been ergonomically designed to reduce pressure on the rider’s spine, allowing for more comfortable long hours in the saddle. Additionally, the heated hand grips offer relief during colder weather, ensuring that riders stay comfortable regardless of the conditions.
Touring-Ready Storage Capacity
One of the standout features of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is its expansive storage capacity. The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier is equipped with a passenger back pad and armrests for added comfort. The storage system includes hard-shell saddlebags, fairing cubbies, and the King Tour-Pak®, providing a total of 4.9 cubic feet of space, over double the storage capacity of a standard Street Glide model.
This robust storage system allows riders to carry everything they need for a long journey, from clothing to electronics, with secure compartments that keep items safe and easily accessible. The saddlebags and tour pack are designed with durability and practicality in mind.
Modern Infotainment System
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra comes equipped with the most advanced infotainment system available from Harley-Davidson®. The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display offers a clear, intuitive interface for navigation, media control, and system settings. Featuring the Skyline™ OS, the display allows riders to access built-in navigation, adjust ride modes, and interact with the motorcycle’s systems through a user-friendly touchscreen.
Apple CarPlay® integration and a high-powered 200-watt audio system ensure that riders can stay connected and entertained while on the road. Voice recognition capabilities enhance the system’s ease of use, allowing for hands-free control of navigation and other functions, making it safer and more convenient during long rides.
Comprehensive Safety Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra integrates a suite of Rider Safety Enhancements to ensure confidence and control in any riding condition. These features include Cornering Rider Safety Enhancements, which adjust the motorcycle’s handling based on lean angle. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) works to prevent wheel lockup during emergency braking situations.
Electronic Linked Braking (ELB) optimizes braking performance by electronically distributing braking effort between the front and rear wheels. Traction Control (TCS) prevents wheel spin during acceleration, helping to maintain grip on slippery or uneven surfaces. Additionally, the Cornering Enhanced versions of ABS, ELB, and TCS adapt to the lean angle of the motorcycle to provide improved braking and traction performance when cornering.
The addition of the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (DSCS) further enhances safety by preventing excessive rear-wheel slip when decelerating, especially during downshifting or when riding on wet or slippery surfaces. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts riders to abnormal tire pressure levels, ensuring the bike is always running at its optimal performance levels.
Advanced Convenience Features
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra also includes a range of convenient features to make each ride easier and more enjoyable. The Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) feature allows riders to stop on an incline without worrying about rolling backward, making hill starts easier and more secure. This system holds the bike in place after engaging the front brake until the rider is ready to move forward, providing added confidence on slopes.
Additionally, the advanced navigation system with hands-free voice commands allows riders to request destinations and adjust settings with simple voice prompts, further enhancing convenience and safety.
