Milwaukee-Eight® 114 Engine Output and Drivetrain Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-twin engine. This air-cooled and oil-cooled powerplant produces 93 horsepower and 120 ft-lb of engine torque. The torque output is delivered across a broad operating range, supporting smooth acceleration under load and consistent power delivery during highway cruising. This output level allows the trike to maintain speed while carrying a passenger and full luggage without excessive throttle input.
The Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine is paired with a drivetrain calibrated for touring demands. The engine’s design supports reduced vibration and consistent combustion efficiency over extended riding periods. Throttle response remains controlled and predictable, which is essential for a three-wheel touring motorcycle with increased mass compared to two-wheel models. Fuel economy is rated at 42 miles per gallon, allowing extended travel intervals between refueling stops during long-distance rides.
Suspension Design and Load Management Capabilities
The suspension system on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is designed to accommodate variable load conditions associated with touring use. The rear suspension uses an emulsion shock system equipped with a single-knob preload adjustment. This adjustment mechanism allows the rider to compensate for added cargo or passenger weight without tools. Changes can be made quickly before departure or during a trip, supporting consistent ride height and suspension response.
The front suspension is tuned to balance steering precision with ride comfort. Combined with the rear suspension configuration, the system maintains stability across uneven pavement, highway expansion joints, and long-duration riding conditions. The three-wheel layout eliminates the need for balancing at stops, which reduces rider fatigue and simplifies low-speed operation in traffic or parking environments.
Wheel Dimensions and Structural Stance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra uses a 19-inch front wheel and dual 18-inch rear wheels. This configuration increases visual presence while maintaining an accessible seat height. The wheel sizing contributes to straight-line stability and controlled steering input. Cast aluminum wheels are standard and are finished to match the selected trim level.
On Black Trim models, the wheels feature black finishes that align with the darkened powertrain and chassis components. Chrome Trim models use traditional finishes that reflect Harley-Davidson® touring design cues. The wheel configuration supports the overall weight distribution of the trike and complements the suspension system to provide predictable handling characteristics.
Integrated Storage Systems and Cargo Capacity
Storage capacity is a primary functional element of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra. The motorcycle provides a combined 6.8 cubic feet of cargo space distributed between a rear-mounted trunk and the King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier. Both storage compartments are weatherproof and locking, supporting secure transport of personal items, riding gear, and travel equipment.
The rear trunk is positioned low and wide to maintain stability while carrying cargo. The King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier is mounted behind the passenger seating area and includes interior lighting and a soft liner. These features improve usability during nighttime access and help protect stored items from movement during travel. The locking systems allow the rider to leave the motorcycle unattended without removing luggage.
Fairing Architecture and Wind Management Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra is equipped with a full Batwing fairing that incorporates split-stream vents and a tall windshield. This fairing design manages airflow around the rider and passenger to reduce wind pressure during sustained highway speeds. The split-stream vent system allows controlled airflow through the fairing to reduce helmet buffeting and maintain rider comfort.
Fairing lowers are integrated into the design and wrap around a blacked-out engine guard. These lowers provide additional wind and weather protection for the lower body, contributing to reduced fatigue during long rides. The fairing structure also houses integrated lighting and the primary infotainment display, centralizing critical systems within the rider’s line of sight.
Infotainment Display and Audio Integration
A 6.5-inch touchscreen display serves as the primary interface for navigation, audio control, and system settings. The display is designed for clarity in varying lighting conditions and responds to gloved input. Navigation functions, Bluetooth® connectivity, and Rider Safety Enhancement settings are accessible through the touchscreen interface.
The Boom!™ Box GTS infotainment system supports multiple audio sources, including wired input, Bluetooth® streaming, and satellite radio compatibility. Audio output is delivered through four 25-watt speakers positioned to provide balanced sound for both rider and passenger. The system maintains audio clarity at cruising speeds and integrates seamlessly with the display interface for control adjustments.
Electric Reverse Drive Functionality
To assist with low-speed maneuvering and parking, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra includes an electric reverse drive system. This system is activated through a handlebar-mounted control and engages an electric motor to move the trike backward. The reverse function operates smoothly on level surfaces and inclines, reducing physical effort during parking maneuvers.
This feature is particularly beneficial given the weight and length of a fully equipped touring trike. It allows precise positioning in confined spaces and improves overall usability during everyday operation and travel stops.
Comprehensive Rider Safety Enhancement Systems
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide® Ultra includes Rider Safety Enhancements as standard equipment. These systems are designed to assist with traction and braking in variable conditions without requiring rider intervention. Anti-lock Braking System technology prevents wheel lock during aggressive braking and helps maintain directional control.
Electronic Linked Braking distributes braking force between the wheels when the front brake lever is applied. This system improves stopping performance by optimizing brake pressure based on riding conditions. Traction Control System functionality limits rear-wheel spin during acceleration, supporting stability on wet or low-traction surfaces.
The Drag-Torque Slip Control System reduces rear-wheel slip during abrupt throttle reduction or downshifting. Cornering-enhanced versions of ABS, Electronic Linked Braking, and Traction Control account for lateral acceleration during turns.
