The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is designed to offer a powerful, comfortable, and technologically advanced touring experience. This model builds on the Street Glide® legacy with improvements focused on long-distance comfort, performance, and convenience. With a refined aerodynamic design and powerful V-twin engine, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is ideal for riders seeking a motorcycle capable of handling long journeys without compromising on comfort or features.
Engine and Performance: Engineered for the Open Road
Powering the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-twin engine, engineered for sustained performance and touring capability. Producing 105 horsepower and 130 ft-lb of torque, it offers strong acceleration, confident passing power, and reliable uphill performance. This engine is built for endurance, combining responsive throttle control with smooth operation for extended highway travel.
This touring bike features SHOWA® dual outboard emulsion rear shocks, which offer three inches of travel to ensure a consistent ride on a variety of road conditions. The rear shocks are adjustable, allowing the rider to easily fine-tune preload settings to match the load and riding conditions. This flexibility ensures that the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra performs at its best regardless of terrain or load.
The bike’s braking system includes advanced features such as the Cornering Enhanced Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) and Electronic Linked Braking (ELB). These systems work in tandem to improve stopping power and control in various situations, particularly when cornering. The C-ABS system adjusts brake pressure depending on the bike's lean angle, allowing for more effective braking while turning, reducing the risk of wheel lockup or loss of control.
Design and Comfort: Crafted for Long Journeys
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is built for extended rides, combining the Harley-Davidson® signature style with innovations that enhance comfort over long distances. The bike retains the classic Batwing fairing but with significant updates to improve aerodynamics and comfort. The fairing is sculpted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing to reduce helmet buffeting by up to 60%. The new, four-inch taller clear windshield offers enhanced wind protection, making long rides more comfortable for both the rider and passenger.
The ergonomically designed two-up seat is optimized for comfort on long journeys. The seat is engineered to rotate the rider’s hips forward slightly, which helps reduce pressure on the spine during extended periods of riding. Heated grips ensure that the rider remains comfortable in cooler weather, adding an extra layer of convenience during longer rides. These design elements work together to make the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra one of the most comfortable touring motorcycles available.
Storage: Ample Space for Extended Travel
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra comes equipped with ample storage space to accommodate the needs of long-distance riders. The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier comes standard and includes a robust backrest with armrests for the passenger. Additionally, the bike features large saddlebags and fairing cubbies, offering a total of 4.9 cubic feet of storage. This is more than twice the capacity of the standard Street Glide® model, ensuring that riders have plenty of room to carry gear for multi-day trips without compromising comfort.
The storage space is designed with convenience in mind, offering easy access to essential items while on the road. The addition of hard-shell luggage, combined with the spacious saddlebags and fairing cubbies, makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra an ideal choice for riders who need reliable, practical storage during long journeys.
Technology: Cutting-Edge Features for the Modern Rider
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is packed with advanced technology to enhance the riding experience. The 12.3-inch TFT display is the most advanced of its kind in the Harley-Davidson® lineup. The display is a crystal-clear touchscreen that integrates with the Skyline™ OS, offering riders easy access to infotainment, navigation, and ride modes. The system allows for seamless connectivity with Apple CarPlay®, providing access to music, calls, and apps directly through the bike’s display.
The advanced navigation system of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is paired with hands-free voice recognition, making it easy to control the system while riding. This voice-activated system improves safety by allowing riders to stay focused on the road while using the navigation system.
Safety Features: Confidence and Control in Every Ride
Rider Safety Enhancements (RSE) are built into the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra to provide riders with added peace of mind. These technologies are designed to improve control and stability during tricky situations, such as acceleration, braking, or cornering. The Cornering Enhanced Traction Control System (C-TCS) prevents excessive spinning of the rear wheel during acceleration, while the Drag-Torque Slip Control System (C-DSCS) helps prevent rear-wheel lockup during deceleration.
In addition to these systems, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra also features Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), which helps prevent the bike from rolling backward when stopped on an incline. This feature is particularly useful when starting on steep grades, giving the rider more control and confidence when taking off from a stop.
The bike also includes the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts the rider to any fluctuations in tire pressure. This system helps maintain optimal tire performance and extends the lifespan of the tires.
