The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is designed as a full-dresser trike that combines long-haul comfort with modern engineering. Built for extended touring and dependable stability, it provides advanced power delivery, optimized suspension, integrated technology, and comprehensive rider safety enhancements. With its two trim levels and multiple styling options, the model adapts to both traditional and contemporary preferences. Every aspect of its design, from the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine to its electronic rider support systems, has been engineered to deliver consistent performance on extended journeys.
Engine Capability and Mechanical Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine, which produces 120 foot-pounds of torque and 93 horsepower. This configuration supplies responsive acceleration even when carrying a passenger and luggage. The design of the powertrain emphasizes smooth output that remains stable during highway speeds as well as in city conditions. Fuel economy is rated at 42 miles per gallon, supporting longer distances between refueling stops while maintaining steady performance standards expected of Harley-Davidson® touring machines.
The trike features a premium rear suspension equipped with a single-knob preload adjustment. This allows riders to fine-tune suspension performance quickly, depending on passenger weight or cargo load, without the need for specialized tools. At the front, a suspension system utilizing dual bending valve technology enhances control while minimizing feedback from uneven road surfaces.
Structural Design and Functional Styling
The design of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra emphasizes both function and appearance. It is available in two trim choices: a Chrome Trim for riders preferring a traditional look and a Black Trim for those seeking a darker and more contemporary presentation. The trike carries a commanding profile, anchored by a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheels.
The luggage system demonstrates the model’s touring focus. A weatherproof trunk combined with a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier offers a total of 6.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The carrier includes integrated lighting, a soft liner, and secure locking mechanisms for practicality. This configuration supports storage of helmets, apparel, and long-haul gear while protecting contents from the elements.
Aerodynamic and protective components include a full Batwing fairing with split-stream vents, a tall windshield, and lower fairings surrounding the blacked-out engine bar. These elements reduce wind buffeting for both rider and passenger, improving long-distance comfort while maintaining airflow balance.
Paint options extend up to six variations. One highlight is the Mystic Shift custom factory paint, which presents shifting hues that transition under sunlight between gunmetal, purple, blue, and orange tones. The range of colors, combined with either chrome or black finishes, enables customization aligned to individual styling preferences.
Infotainment Systems and Integrated Technology
Technology plays a significant role in the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra’s long-distance touring functionality. The trike is equipped with the Boom! Box GTS infotainment system, which centers on a 6.5-inch touchscreen display. This interface provides GPS navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, and audio controls. The screen is designed for clarity under varied lighting conditions, allowing riders to access information quickly and without distraction.
The audio system uses four 25-watt speakers that support both wired and wireless input as well as satellite radio. This arrangement ensures continuous access to entertainment or navigation prompts throughout the journey. In addition to audio and navigation, the infotainment system also serves as the hub for tunable Rider Safety Enhancement features, consolidating control of multiple systems into one accessible interface.
Practical technology extends beyond infotainment. An electric reverse function provides maneuvering assistance when parking or navigating confined areas. By pressing a single button, the trike can move backward under its own power, reducing the physical effort required and improving confidence in locations with limited space or on inclines.
Rider Safety and Electronic Support Features
Safety systems on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra are engineered to manage traction, braking, and cornering in diverse riding conditions. Rider Safety Enhancements incorporate electronic assistance technologies that activate automatically during acceleration, braking, or deceleration.
The Anti-lock Braking System prevents wheel lockup during sudden or firm braking, improving control in urgent situations. Electronic Linked Braking applies balanced braking pressure to both front and rear wheels when the rider uses the front brake lever, optimizing stopping performance while adjusting linkage automatically during lighter or slower braking. The Traction Control System limits excessive rear wheel spin during acceleration, supporting stability on varied surfaces.
Drag-Torque Slip Control helps reduce rear wheel slip during sudden downshifts or when throttle is rapidly closed, particularly useful on wet or low-traction surfaces. Cornering enhancements apply these systems dynamically by adjusting input during lateral acceleration. Cornering Enhanced ABS adapts brake pressure during turns, while Cornering Enhanced Linked Braking distributes force appropriately between wheels to maintain trajectory. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control prevents excessive wheel spin not only in straight-line acceleration but also during cornering maneuvers.
Touring Comfort and Practical Functionality
Touring capability is reinforced through design features focused on long-distance comfort. The seating arrangement provides ample space for both rider and passenger, designed to reduce fatigue during extended hours on the road. The trunk and Tour-Pak® carrier include thoughtful details such as interior lighting and a soft liner that simplifies loading and unloading at night or in low-light conditions.
Lighting is addressed with LED headlamps and fog lamps that enhance road visibility and improve rider awareness of surrounding traffic. Combined with weather-resistant luggage construction and integrated wind protection, these details contribute to consistent performance in both favorable and challenging conditions.
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is engineered not only for long-distance efficiency but also for practicality in day-to-day touring use.
Technical Customization and Trim Options
For 2025, this model is offered in both Chrome Trim and Black Trim, each presenting distinct features. The Chrome Trim features polished surfaces combined with traditional Harley-Davidson® styling, available in colors such as Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Iron Horse Metallic, and Whiskey Fire with Vivid Black.
The Black Trim emphasizes a modern appearance with blacked-out finishes on wheels, powertrain, and accents. It is offered in Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, Atlas Silver Metallic, Whiskey Fire with Vivid Black, Iron Horse Metallic with Vivid Black, and Mystic Shift custom paint. Both trims incorporate the same core mechanical and technological systems, allowing riders to select the visual presentation that best suits their preference.
