The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is engineered as a long-distance touring trike that focuses on stability, load capacity, power delivery, and integrated technological systems. Its three-wheel configuration supports predictable handling for extended travel, and its available Chrome and Black trims provide two distinct visual presentations that do not alter the mechanical platform. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra includes multiple storage solutions, a full fairing, updated lighting, and a selection of factory color options, including the advanced Mystic Shift custom paint that changes appearance under different lighting conditions. All systems are designed and configured to support consistent performance and rider control.
Engine Design and Power Delivery
The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine drives the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra with 120 ft-lb of torque and a maximum output of 93 horsepower. The engine’s displacement and airflow management support efficient torque production from lower RPM ranges, giving the trike consistent acceleration when carrying a passenger or a full luggage load. Its air and oil cooling structure helps maintain performance in a variety of operating environments, and its tuning is configured to maintain smooth operation during long periods of sustained cruising. Fuel economy is rated at 42 mpg, which provides a travel range suitable for touring scenarios. The engine’s integration with the drivetrain supports firm engagement as the trike moves into higher gears without abrupt mechanical feedback.
Suspension Structure and Ride Stability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra uses an emulsion rear suspension system equipped with a single-knob preload adjustment feature. This adjustment makes it possible to adapt the suspension to added luggage weight or a passenger while maintaining predictable handling during long-distance travel. The front suspension works with the chassis geometry to reduce irregular feedback from uneven pavement so that the trike remains stable at a consistent speed. The tuning of both suspension systems aims to limit rider fatigue through steady handling characteristics instead of sudden movement changes. The combination of the three-wheel platform and the tuned suspension components contributes to balanced operation in touring environments.
Structural Design Elements and Functional Styling
The construction of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra incorporates a combination of functional design and updated finishes. The available Chrome Trim offers traditional polished visual elements, while the Black Trim provides a darker appearance created by blacked-out components on the wheels, powertrain, and surrounding accents. Both trims include multiple paint selections, with four options for Chrome Trim and six for the Black Trim. The Mystic Shift paint in particular incorporates a multi-phase color transformation that progresses from dark gunmetal to purple, then to blue, and finally to a near-orange tone in direct sunlight.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra uses a full Batwing fairing that includes split-stream vents and a tall windshield to assist in managing airflow. Fairing lowers are positioned around a blacked-out engine bar. These features contribute to protection from wind and weather for both the rider and the passenger. Storage systems are integrated into the trike’s structure through a weatherproof locking trunk and a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier. Combined storage volume is 6.8 cubic feet, which supports the requirements of extended riding. The Tour-Pak® includes interior lighting and a soft liner for additional utility. The weatherproof trunk supports bag storage, and the Tour-Pak® accommodates helmet storage when the trike is parked.
Wheels include a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheels. These cast aluminum wheels support the trike’s stance while keeping the seat height accessible. Their size contributes to stability without calling for a taller riding position, which helps maintain accessibility for a wide range of riders.
Integrated Technology and Infotainment Systems
The 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display functions as the primary interface for navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, audio control, and access to the trike’s safety enhancement features. The display layout maintains clarity under changing lighting conditions to support readability. The audio system uses four 25-watt speakers that can play wired audio, Bluetooth® audio, or satellite radio. Speaker placement contributes to consistent sound output at various speeds and in changing wind conditions.
The electric reverse drive provides added control for maneuvering in confined spaces. Activation is managed through a simple button engagement that allows the trike to move backward on flat ground or on modest inclines. This feature reduces physical effort in parking scenarios and makes it easier to handle the weight of a fully loaded touring trike in reverse.
Rider Safety Enhancement Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra includes a group of electronic safety systems that assist with traction, braking, and stability. These systems monitor acceleration, braking force, and cornering conditions to support rider control. Their purpose is to provide consistent operation when traction becomes limited or when braking inputs exceed available grip.
The Anti-lock Brake System prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking. Electronic Linked Braking distributes braking pressure across both wheels when the front brake is applied. Depending on conditions, the system may also distribute braking when the rear pedal is used. This helps manage stopping performance without requiring the rider to manually balance braking force.
The Traction Control System reduces rear wheel spin during straight-line acceleration to maintain consistent forward movement in lower traction conditions. The Drag-Torque Slip Control System reduces excessive rear wheel slip caused by abrupt downshifts or sudden throttle reduction, particularly on wet or slick road surfaces.
Cornering-oriented systems adjust traction and braking assistance based on the trike’s lateral acceleration. These include Cornering Enhanced ABS, Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking, and Cornering Enhanced Traction Control. Each system responds to the forces applied during cornering to help maintain the intended direction of travel.
Lighting, Paint, and Additional Structural Features
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra includes LED headlamps and fog lamps intended to improve visibility. These lighting systems contribute to consistent illumination in a range of riding environments. The available paint options include Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Iron Horse Metallic, Whiskey Fire with Vivid Black, and options exclusive to the new Black Trim, such as Atlas Silver Metallic and Iron Horse Metallic with Vivid Black. The Mystic Shift custom paint option offers a multi-layer visual transition that responds to sunlight for an advanced finish effect. Both trim levels incorporate cast aluminum wheels finished according to the selected trim style.
Schedule a Test Ride at Harley-Davidson® of Wesley Chapel
Riders who want to understand how the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine performs under load or how the trike’s suspension and safety systems support extended travel can schedule a test ride to evaluate the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra in controlled conditions. The three-wheel layout provides stability that can be assessed effectively during a guided ride, and the touchscreen infotainment system allows riders to experience the navigation and audio functions directly. The storage capacity and accessibility of the trunk and Tour-Pak® can be reviewed in person to determine how they fit travel needs. A test ride also provides an opportunity to understand how the braking and traction control systems behave in routine operation. Those interested in examining these features can arrange a visit with Harley-Davidson® of Wesley Chapel, close to Lutz, FL, to explore the trike in detail and take part in a structured ride experience.
