The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is engineered to meet the needs of touring riders. With advanced features focused on performance, comfort, and functionality, this motorcycle ensures a reliable and comfortable experience for long-distance travel. Each component is designed with precision, delivering a balance of innovation and practicality.
Aerodynamics and Wind Protection
The Batwing fairing is engineered with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize aerodynamics. Wind-tunnel testing enhances the design, significantly reducing helmet buffeting by up to 60%. A taller windshield, positioned to maximize wind deflection, minimizes fatigue during extended rides. Adjustable air vents in the fairing lowers allow riders to control airflow based on conditions. Larger fork-mounted air deflectors contribute to aerodynamic stability, ensuring smooth handling at highway speeds.
Seating and Rider Comfort
The two-up comfort seat is designed to promote a natural riding posture. An ergonomic adjustment rotates the rider’s hips forward, reducing spinal pressure and improving overall comfort. Heated grips are included as standard equipment, providing warmth during colder rides. A passenger back pad, integrated with the King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, ensures additional comfort and support for the passenger. Armrests add an extra layer of convenience for long-distance travel.
Storage Capabilities
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra provides ample storage for long-distance riders. It comes equipped with a King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier, hard-shell saddlebags, fairing cubbies, and spacious saddlebags, offering a total storage capacity of 4.9 cubic feet—more than twice that of the standard Street Glide®. Additionally, the saddlebag guards are color-matched to the bike, enhancing its aesthetic while protecting the bodywork in case of a tip-over.
Powertrain and Engine Performance
The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine powers the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. Liquid-cooled cylinder heads ensure consistent temperature management during operation. A centrally located radiator directs airflow effectively into the intake system, enhancing cooling and maintaining performance. Increased torque and horsepower provide smooth acceleration and responsiveness, meeting the demands of highway cruising and city riding.
Suspension System and Handling
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features a suspension system designed for enhanced comfort and handling. Its rear suspension includes SHOWA® dual outboard emulsion technology shocks with three inches of travel, offering a responsive and consistent ride. Riders can easily adjust the remote hydraulic preload by hand to accommodate varying loads. Additionally, the motorcycle offers four ride modes—Road, Sport, Rain, and a customizable option—allowing riders to tailor the bike's performance to their preferences.
Advanced Infotainment System
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra features a state-of-the-art infotainment system centered around a crystal-clear, 12.3-inch touchscreen color TFT display running the Skyline™ OS. This advanced interface provides seamless access to navigation, media, and the motorcycle's four ride modes. The built-in navigation system is enhanced by a hands-free Voice Recognition System, allowing riders to issue simple conversational commands, such as "Find me a gas station," for a more intuitive experience. Additionally, the system supports AM/FM radio, SD card, flash drive, and MP3 playback via USB connection and offers Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free mobile phone use and media streaming. The audio experience is delivered through two 5.25-inch fairing speakers, each powered by a 50-watt channel, ensuring clear and robust sound during rides.
Safety Features and Stability
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is equipped with advanced safety features to enhance rider confidence and control. Its comprehensive Rider Safety Enhancements include Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Linked Braking (ELB), Traction Control System (TCS), and Drag-torque Slip Control System (DSCS), all designed to improve stability and prevent wheel slip during various riding conditions. The Vehicle Hold Control (VHC) feature assists in keeping the motorcycle stationary on inclines or declines, preventing unintended rolling. Additionally, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts riders to low or high tire pressure, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
