The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed to excel in long-distance touring. This motorcycle is built to provide riders with comfort, convenience, and reliability during extended journeys. Key features include advanced aerodynamics, a high-performance powertrain, ample storage options, and state-of-the-art technology.
Aerodynamics and Wind Protection
The batwing fairing on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra ensures optimized airflow. Engineers utilized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing to reduce helmet buffeting by up to 60%. This improvement minimizes rider fatigue and enhances stability, especially at highway speeds. A taller windshield, measuring four inches higher than the standard design, further reduces wind interference. Adjustable air vents located on the fork and fairing provide additional control over airflow.
Seating and Comfort Enhancements
The redesigned two-up comfort seat is engineered for long-distance touring. The rider’s seat encourages an ergonomic posture by rotating the hips forward, reducing strain on the lower back. This adjustment alleviates pressure on the spine, making it easier to ride for extended periods without discomfort. Passenger comfort is prioritized with a supportive backrest and integrated armrests.
Luggage and Storage Capabilities
The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, when combined with spacious saddlebags and fairing cubbies, offers a total of 4.9 cubic feet of storage. Saddlebag guards are included to protect the bodywork in case of a tip-over.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, which features liquid-cooled cylinder heads and a centrally located radiator to enhance cooling efficiency. This design directs air directly into the intake, ensuring optimal performance during extended rides. The engine delivers increased torque and horsepower compared to the Twin-Cooled™ 114, providing a more powerful riding experience.
Suspension and Handling
The SHOWA® dual outboard emulsion shocks provide three inches of suspension travel, offering a responsive and controlled ride. Riders can manually adjust the hydraulic preload to customize the suspension settings.
Ventilation and Airflow Management
Fairing lowers with adjustable air vents contribute to rider comfort. These vents allow precise airflow management, enabling riders to maintain a comfortable temperature. During warm weather, the vents can be opened to direct cooling air toward the rider. Conversely, they can be closed to block cold wind, ensuring comfort during cooler rides. These features, combined with the taller windshield and deflectors, create a customizable environment for the rider.
Technology and Connectivity
A 12.3-inch touchscreen color TFT display serves as the centerpiece of the motorcycle’s infotainment system. The display provides access to navigation, music, and ride settings, all managed through the intuitive Skyline™ OS. Riders can use the hands-free voice recognition system to interact with the display, enabling safer operation while riding. The navigation system includes turn-by-turn directions and customizable routes, catering to the needs of touring enthusiasts.
Safety and Stability Features
Vehicle Hold Control enhances rider confidence by preventing the motorcycle from rolling backward or forward when stopped on an incline. This feature is activated by squeezing and releasing the front brake lever, making it especially useful during uphill starts. The added stability simplifies stops and starts, particularly when carrying a passenger or heavy luggage. Additional safety features, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control, further enhance the motorcycle’s performance.
