The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR has been engineered as a street-legal motorcycle with direct influence from the company’s racing program. This model integrates lightweight aerospace-inspired materials, advanced rider technologies, and competition-tested components. With limited production and serialized identification, it represents one of the most exclusive Harley-Davidson® motorcycles to date.
Power and Performance
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR is powered by the Screamin’ Eagle® 131 V-Twin engine, the most powerful Milwaukee-Eight® powertrain installed in a Harley-Davidson® production motorcycle. It produces 153 horsepower and 150 ft-lb of torque with a maximum engine speed of 6,500 rpm. This Stage IV engine is equipped with CNC-ported heads, a Screamin’ Eagle® SE8-550 camshaft, and strengthened internal components designed to withstand high stress.
The engine’s airflow is managed by a high-performance intake system that uses a 68mm throttle body and a CNC-machined aluminum manifold. The washable Screamin’ Eagle® High Flow air filter not only reduces restrictions but also provides an audible intake rumble during operation.
Transmission Engineering
The transmission system is the Screamin’ Eagle® Racing King 6, specifically developed for demanding conditions. Its gears and shafts are shot-peened to increase durability and strength, while the back-cut shift dogs ensure precise gear engagement under heavy load.
Titanium Exhaust System
The exhaust system is a full titanium Akrapovič design created in collaboration with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing. The system integrates lightweight 2-into-1 header pipes, carbon fiber shields, and a titanium muffler. By reducing overall mass by more than ten pounds compared to a conventional exhaust, the system improves weight distribution while maintaining compliance with 50-state emissions standards.
Advanced Suspension Design
Handling precision is achieved with a race-spec Öhlins suspension package. The 43mm Öhlins FGR inverted front forks and dual remote reservoir rear shocks provide full adjustability for compression and rebound. Ride height is increased by two inches compared to standard configurations, which improves lean angles and allows for aggressive cornering. These features are the result of direct influence from Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing development programs.
A billet aluminum swingarm further supports the suspension system. Machined from a 220-pound block of 6061 aluminum and reduced to only 18 pounds, the swingarm lowers unsprung weight while increasing structural stiffness.
Braking Systems
Braking performance is managed by Brembo® GP4-RX CNC calipers paired with 320mm T-Drive rotors at the front. Each caliper uses four 32mm pistons and a nickel-plated finish for improved durability and resistance under heavy braking. At the rear, a four-piston Brembo® caliper and a 300mm rotor complete the system.
Rider Controls and Ergonomics
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR employs billet aluminum mid foot controls to replace conventional footboards. This design allows for deeper lean angles while simultaneously reducing weight. The controls are engineered for greater precision in braking and shifting, supporting high-performance riding conditions.
The seating system is a solo seat co-developed with Saddlemen®. It integrates a pommel and a rear bolster that raise the rider position by one inch, providing improved ergonomics with the mid controls. The design secures the rider under both hard acceleration and braking. Constructed with carbon fiber materials, the seat is lighter than traditional designs while maintaining structural support.
Wheel and Frame Integration
The motorcycle is equipped with gloss black cast aluminum wheels designed to minimize rotational mass. The reduction in unsprung weight improves suspension response and agility. The front wheel includes a laser-etched CVO™ RR logo, signifying the model’s identity and purpose-built engineering.
Electronic Ride Modes
The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR incorporates multiple selectable ride modes that modify throttle response, braking characteristics, and traction control settings. Among these are Track Mode and Track Plus Mode. Track Mode, developed in conjunction with Harley-Davidson® Factory Racing rider Kyle Wyman, optimizes performance for closed-course environments. Track Plus Mode further reduces electronic intervention, allowing experienced riders to exercise greater control.
Infotainment and Display Systems
The instrumentation package is centered on a 12.3-inch touchscreen display powered by Skyline™ OS. This system integrates wireless Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® connectivity, and embedded navigation. Over-the-air updates ensure that software features remain current, while the large display allows for clear visibility of controls and navigation functions.
Audio performance is managed through a Rockford Fosgate® Stage III system. With 500 watts of output delivered through 6.5-inch three-way speakers, the system maintains clarity and volume even at highway speeds.
Lighting and Design Features
The motorcycle is equipped with fully integrated LED lighting designed to increase visibility and enhance the streamlined profile of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Road Glide® RR. Lighting integration improves both day and night riding safety while aligning with the aerodynamic shape of the fairing.
The bodywork is constructed with exposed carbon fiber finished under a deep gloss coat. Combined with Harley-Davidson® Racing Orange paint and black and white accents, the design references the brand’s race machines. Each unit is equipped with a serialized riser clamp, securing its identity as one of the most exclusive Harley-Davidson® motorcycles produced.
Safety Enhancements
Harley-Davidson® has equipped this motorcycle with a comprehensive set of Rider Safety Enhancements. The system includes ABS, Electronic Linked Braking, Traction Control, Drag-Torque Slip Control, Vehicle Hold Control, and Tire Pressure Monitoring. Each feature contributes to stability and safety during acceleration, deceleration, and braking.
Cornering functionality has been incorporated into several of these systems. Cornering Enhanced ABS and Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking adjust pressure distribution based on lean angle. Cornering Enhanced Traction Control reduces wheel slip during cornering maneuvers. Cornering Drag-Torque Slip Control prevents rear wheel lock during rapid deceleration or abrupt downshifts on variable road conditions. Together, these technologies increase predictability and control across a wide range of riding environments.
