The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® combines modern engineering with proven design elements to deliver a reliable and performance-driven touring motorcycle. Each feature has been designed to improve functionality, comfort, and control for riders seeking efficiency and durability on long-distance journeys.
Design and Aerodynamics
The sharknose fairing is a signature design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® model. The fairing enhances stability by reducing wind resistance and helmet buffeting at highway speeds. The aerodynamics are refined through advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) testing, ensuring smooth airflow during operation.
Lighting incorporates LED technology for both the headlamps and turn signals. These LEDs improve visibility in low-light conditions and enhance safety with better illumination. The front end also features 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels, while the rear has an 18-inch wheel, both available in optional chrome or black finishes.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, offering a displacement of 117 cubic inches (1,923 cc) and a compression ratio of 10.3:1. This engine delivers 130 ft-lb of torque at 3,250 rpm and produces 105 horsepower at 4,600 rpm. It features liquid-cooled cylinder heads to manage heat effectively, ensuring optimal performance during extended rides. The engine utilizes an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system for precise fuel delivery and efficient combustion. Additionally, the 2-1-2 dual exhaust with tapered mufflers enhances both performance and the signature H-D® rumble.
Comfort for Touring
A one-piece design ensures a seamless experience, reducing discomfort on longer rides. Handlebars feature 27 degrees of adjustability, allowing precise customization for individual riders’ preferences. These adjustable handlebars help maintain an upright riding posture, which reduces fatigue during extended use.
Technology Integration
The 12.3-inch color TFT display acts as the central interface for navigation, entertainment, and motorcycle diagnostics. Navigation functions include turn-by-turn instructions that sync with compatible devices. Music and phone call integration are supported through Bluetooth® connectivity. Three preset ride modes are available: Road, Sport, and Rain. Each mode adjusts throttle sensitivity, ABS response, and traction control settings to optimize performance for specific conditions. Traction control and anti-lock braking systems are included as standard features to ensure safety in different riding environments.
Paint Options and Customization
Factory paint options include seven distinct finishes, with Mystic Shift being a standout. This paint utilizes advanced color-shifting technology, transitioning between shades of gunmetal, purple, blue, and orange depending on the lighting conditions. Accessory options, such as additional lighting and comfort upgrades, are available through the H-D® Genuine Parts and Accessories catalog.
Suspension and Braking System
The suspension system on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is engineered for stability and control. The front suspension features dual bending valve technology, which delivers improved damping and ride quality. Rear suspension includes adjustable preload, allowing riders to fine-tune settings based on load and passenger requirements.
Braking performance is ensured with standard ABS. The system prevents wheel lock during sudden stops, improving control and safety on various road surfaces. Cornering ABS functionality enhances stability during sharp turns, minimizing skidding risks.
Fuel Economy and Range
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® offers an estimated fuel economy of 44 mpg, and with a 6-gallon fuel tank, it provides a substantial riding range.
